MICHAEL NAURA "OCHSENZOLL" (MOOD, 1985)
Here's something quite different. Michael Naura was more famous for being the chief producer (editor) for the NDR (North German Broadcast), where he managed to produce the "most comprehensive and interesting Jazz program in Europe" (Ian Carr).
But he was also a pianist and author/critic. His writings sometimes were quite polemic and sharp, yet he had a vast knowledge and a sometimes acerbic wit.
His first recordings are clearly informed by George Shearing; he openly acknowledged the influence of Brubeck, Horace Silver or the MJQ. His main partner in music - Wolfgang Schlüter - was the one who provided the more creative improvisations.
Here are my rough translations of the titles and the sub-titles (see files for cover pictures):
Feuerwehr > fire brigade
Psychiater Blues > psychiatrist blues
Feuerfee > fire faerie (pixie)
Ochsenzoll > ox-toll (customs duty); the subtitle dedicates this tune to the "locked [patients] of station 12, psychiatry, general hospital, Hamburg-Ochsenzoll (a borough of Hamburg)"
Franz Brandnarb > franz burn scar
Endlich Ruhe > finally calmness (piece/quietness) - this track is a kind of early "ambient".
On side A all musicians are playing and on side B only the duo of Naura and Schlüter.
Is it Jazz?- yes and no - as always - hear for yourself...and Enjoy!

Heiner Stadler-Brains on fire ,Vol 1 ( Labor ,lp 701)rec 1966-71
Here's a great one , by Heiner Stadler a German composer , arranger and Pianist .. who moved to NYC in the Mid 60's.. most of his records have been self released ,as far as i can tell, apart from the Classic Tribute to Monk and Bird on tomato ,which other than this and vol2 is the only Other Stadler i own.
Although informed by the New thing currents of the day , to my ears this music is equally influenced by currents in European Classical music ,and in that sense these piece's are a late flowering of so called third stream , posited by Gunther Schuller and others a decade earlier , Another point of reference is George Russell particularly the contemporaneous music recorded while Russell was living in Scandinavia.
These sessions are comprised of 2 distinct groups featuring some of the Leading lights of the Jazz avant guard.. Jimmy Guiffre is also clearly another obvious point of reference, and in fact Joe Chambers, Barre Phillips and Don Friedman were Guiffre's, regular Rythm section at the time this was recorded.
a special note regarding the little known Tyrone Washington ,who is superb and plays up a veritable firestorm , on Heidi and all tones!
on a technical note I bought this in the Mid Eighties , (also have vol-2),the pressings have various, very audible Flaws , on top of being water damaged they look as though they have been used to cut lines of Amphetamine , as well as being eaten over.. i've cleaned them as best i can (Vol 2 is far worse) i have a vague recollection of seeing a cd release years ago of some of this Material perhaps even on the Tomato label , a single disc compilation of both volumes ... cant find any evidence that it is currently available in any form.... any info on that or other lesser known releases would be appreciated!
Jimmy Owens (tp) Garnett Brown (tb) Joe Farrell (ts) Don Friedman (p) Barre Phillips, Reggie Workman (b) Joe Chambers, Lennie White (d) Heiner Stadler (comp) New York, December 1966 and July /September-1971

This post completes the documentation of a double performance by the G.Lewis Ensemble at the end of April 1979 in Verona (see AD/DE and GL/RT).
The same Ensemble that recorded "Homage to Charles Parker" for
Black Saint : the two long suites / compositions are clearly an
extended version of the songs on the album.

excerpt from Suite #2
Friedrich Gulda-Nachtricht Vom Lande-(Brain - 500.018 lp) 1976)
This is one of Gulda's Lesser known records , oddly enough produced for a label , that specialised in so called 'Kraut Rock', Great bands such as Wolfgang Dauner's Etcetera, Neu, Harmonia,Guru Guru and Embryo as well as tedious forgettable Euro trash, like Birth Control, Jane and Scorpions.. this now unfortunately rare double lp, is the most experimental jazz related outing on the cult label, and is regrettably despite being among the best things on the label almost unknown , certainly little heard ....

Please note , have not separated the 2 tracks on D , they run together anyway, NOTE the source vinyl is in only fair condition , playable but very crackly , these are the raw materials do with them what you will.. if anyone has a better rip, post it , if you want to clean this up and repost it here by all means do so.
Ursula Anders and Gulda ,recorded several other Albums together for Interchord, Amadeo.. well worth tracking down is 1980's 'Opus Anders '
i have a very worn Barely playable copy , and am looking to buy Cd which i believe was reissued on Amadeo.
buy some available items if you have the Opportunity
cheers
S
UPDATE- a friend has kindly ripped his own copy , which is in much better shape than mine , i'm deleting my links .... he says he doesnt like the album much , feels that its a complete mismatch .... anyhow here are his links
these are the ones you need

STEVE LACY SEXTET "THE WIRE" (DENON , 1977)
Lacy's ,Greatest Japanese lp (IMO, not that i've heard them all), and a very strong Contender for Best Lacy record period !
this was without a doubt one of his very best bands, the searing ecstatic almost unbearable intensity of most of this set ,is unusual and not often found in Lacys ouevre
Even on 'Free'classics like forrest and the zoo,and Roba, lacy is often restrained ,dry analytical , and sounding slightly detached.
Here we have some of his most violently expressionistic gestural playing on record, all while maintaining the spacious and uncluttered character of this sequence of Japanese records...
This definitive version of Deadline , is incredibly haunting ,Ikeda, Yoshizawa and Midorikawa hazily shimmering beneath some opiated distant glimpse of a slowly submerging dissapearing floating world ..
Unique and very beautiful....
S
"This album has a very dark mood, especially with the arco basses and the dissonant piano. The percussion too adds to the mood.
Every one plays well and interprets Lacy's composistions in a way that works exclusively with the selected sideman. If the album was recorded with his regular group at the time (Abei, Potts, Few, Carter, Johnson) it would have been completely different."
