Steve Lacy Trio-Stalks, (Yoshizawa, Togashi),Nippon Columbia – YQ-7507-N -(1975)Flac upgrade from Vinyl Source

Here's a Flac Upgrade of something posted here from a tape source in mp3's a few years ago,this is ripped straight from a vinyl source .. of Stalks , one of Lacys most challenging 70's lp, and also apparently one of the rarest..


Yoshizawa and Togashi truly are Lacy's masterful peers here,matching his most provocative textural explorations in an astonishing counterpoint ,the three floating together as they sculpt the void..with an elasticity that seems unique to Lacy's Japanese Collaborations!
VERY BEAUTIFUL
 Much thanks ..and more than a little love to Dave 'the Wane'from Tasmania for this fresh.... rip!!!

to which i've done absolutely nothing.. no pretending even for a moment that this is from a Digital source
so..SWEETEN TO TASTE!

Yesterday I announced I had a Mountainscape set.  However, I had made this statement without having my notes ready and in the evening, trying to retrace that CD, I found I couldn't locate it.  I even began to doubt my memory: 'Had I really recorded any Mountainscapes or was I just imagining this?'  'Had I just misalaid or lent it and never bothered to get it back?'
What I did come up with, is this set (a double set, actually) which was - I think - originally seeded by Peter Losin, about a year back.
Journal Violone was - at first - a solo project by Barre which started out in 1968 as literally a kind of bass diary.  Journal Violone II was a trio effort, recorded by ECM and released in 1979. It somehow bridges the earlier trio-work (never on ECM) and the experimental work of Mountainscapes/Three Day Moon and the more vocal-oriented work on 'Music by Barre Phillips' (sadly never released on CD).
This seed is culled from two radio performances which are definitely not complete, but this is how it was originally seeded. The first session is interrupted rather abruptly during the applause but one can hear Barre tuning his bass and ready to go into another part.  Maybe more of this will be unnearthed one day?

Cecil Taylor photos?

I've got an email from Phil Freeman:

Hello -

I'm the editor and publisher of the small magazine Burning Ambulance [http://burningambulance.com]. In our next issue, we're featuring a lengthy article on the Cecil Taylor Unit of 1978 (Taylor, Jimmy Lyons,Raphe Malik, Ramsey Ameen, Sirone and Ronald Shannon Jackson). Photos of this group are hard to come by, though, and I'm hoping maybe someone who reads your blog or someone you know might have some. If so, please point them my way. Thanks!

Phil Freeman
pdfreeman@gmail.com

This message is self-explanatory, so if anyone in our readership can help, I'm sure Phil would be grateful. I have in my collection "3 Phasis" made by this version of the Unit. There was also another called "Cecil Taylor Unit", both of which released by New World Records. Please also note that I have posted an unreleased live concert from Köln with this line-up and it can be found here.

notes:
In 1977, the Steve Lacy Quintet was invited to West-Berlin to take part in the Workshop Freie Musik, lasting from 7.4.77 to 11.4.77. So for this concert in East-Berlin, the band apparently made a little excursion when having a day off from the Workshop.

It was during this festival, more precisely on the last day, that they recorded the beautiful "Follies"-LP for FMP/SAJ. There's also a short radio broadcast recording from 8.4.1977 circulating (sounding seriously lo-fi!).

Solal - Konitz - Scofield- Ørsted-Pedersen – Four Keys (1979-MPS,1A 064-63157)

Here's another to me rather Special lp on MPS, Lee Konitz ,and Martial Solal ,two masters with a long shared performance and recording History.

I've always felt that they played down some of their most adventurous music together..

this one is outrageously good, they run the gamut from straight Bop compositions based on standards to free improvisations ,the title track is a piece played in four Different keys,simultaneously..

N.H.O.P , and a young J.Scofield are equal participants and round off one of the great ones in the Solal /Konitz shared discography.
still out of print to my knowledge , and very worthwhile

the mp3's for those who prefer those are available from "Magic Purple Sunshine"

Lee Konitz has apparently not been well lately , having been hospitalised just before a sheduled appearance at the Melbourne jazz Festival in June this year.

I have no idea whether he has fully recovered , perhaps a reader who is more au courant can fill us in .

we wish him all the best.

Misha Mengelberg - Live in Berlin '75

"I’m nothing as a pianist. I’m not a pianist at all, but I play the piano.
It’s my vehicle to play. I’m absolutely unfit to play a horn, or anything
else. I play what I think is needed there, to play. So it can be exotic or
exuberant, or it can be harsh, minimizing the material. It depends."

Eliane Radigue - Adnos I - III

Here is a spectacular item from the late and lamented Table of the Elements record label. It is getting increasingly hard to come by and hence more and more expensive, unfortunately. There are some rips of Adnos floating around on the web, but as far as I have seen, only in the mp3 format. I believe that a lossy format does this record a great disservice because the sonic richness of these three pieces really needs to be heard across the entire frequency range. I was able to locate it on a torrent site and in flac, so even if the files are much larger, I believe it's worth the extra time it takes to download them.

What to say about these three pieces? They are drone-based with obvious references to the US minimalist scene in the 60s and later around figures like La Monte Young, but to these ears, they never become monotonous. There are subtle changes going on all the time throughout these 70 minutes pieces, but it takes an attentive ear attuned to the nature of slowness to fully discover them. As such, they are meditative and in a certain way buddhist in design and execution. Radigue later got immersed in Mahayana Buddhism and these pieces provide an explanation.

Radigue likens her music metaphorically to the movement of water, to the changes of sound waves whereby the ear filters, selects and emphasizes some areas of hearing or by by looking at shimmering water, always in motion, yet remaining the same.

These are better heard on a good stereo than on an computer or a portable listening device. The acoustic ambience of the room within which these pieces are heard is part of the performance, and you may find that sound generates sound, set off by the vibrations of sound waves.

Enjoy!

To move stones around in the bed of a river does not affect its course, but can only change the play of the waves on the surface.

Brotherhood of Breath live at Siegendorff 1975

This is a one-hour excerpt from a BoB concert in Siegendorff in Austria on 11 July 1975. The final track in this set is unfortunately faded out before the end and I've no idea whether there were more tunes, but I have a hunch there might have been.

The line-up is not entirely certain, but quite possibly similar to the BoB line-up at the Willisau concert the same year. I've added Harry Beckett as he was playing on both 1975 gigs featured on the "Bremen to Bridgwater" cd released by Cuneiform, so there is a likelihood that he is on this gig as well though one cannot be entirely sure (unless one can pick him out from the audio). New to BoB is Bruce Grant on baritone sax, stepping in for John Surman, one might say. He also appeared on the "French" version of BoB on "Yes Please" which we have posted here earlier.

There was no set list given when this was posted on the Dime network, so I've had to reconstruct the list by listening to the tunes and crosschecking with other BoB albums. Interestingly, many of the tunes here were never released in a studio version, might not even have been recorded, but were regulars in the BoB live repertoire. From what I've been able to find out, these are the tunes:


01. warming up + Ismite is Might (Chris McGregor) (16:10)
02. The Serpent's Kindly Eye (Chris McGregor) (10:48)
03. Untitled original (Mike Osborne) (8:10)
04. Tunji's Song (Tunji Oyelana) (6:18)
05. Mra (Dudu Pukwana) (12:24)
06. Kongi's Theme (Chris McGregor) (cut off) (4:55)

The third tune was never given a title, but according to information from the "Bremen to Bridgwater" double cd, was written by Mike Osborne and appears as the final track on cd1, recorded at Bridgwater earlier that year. Nice to hear the anthem-like "Ismite is Might", appearing at roughly at the 11-minute mark on the first track here, after a false start of "Mra".

Line-up:

Chris McGregor - piano
Dudu Pukwana - reeds
Mike Osborne - reeds
Evan Parker - reeds
Elton Dean - reeds
Bruce Grant - reeds
Mongezi Feza - trumpet
Marc Charig - trumpet
Harry Beckett - trumpet
Nick Evans - trombone
Radu Malfatti - trombone
Harry Miller - bass
Louis Moholo - drums

This is an audience recording. The sound is fairly good, and the BoB is at their shambolic best, as always.

Notes:
Received from source, who made the recording to DAT, labelled as "part one." I have never come across a part two.

Although also given as digital broadcast, the frequency analysis shows no dip in the high frequencies, so although the bitrate was not given it is surely exceptionally high and demonstrates a lossless source.
