Don Cherry-Togetherness 1965 (Inner City Vers 1976)

I don't imagine that there are many fans of this music who don't have this indispensable minor masterpiece  by,one of the greatest bands of their day.... it is as far as i know out of print , although if memory serves  it has been bootlegged on CD.

A live Parisian recording of dubious provenance  originally released on the Italian Durian label ,  this predates  THE  marvelous Symphony for improvisers , on which Cherry employed an expanded version of this basic quintet...With Ed Blackwell Cherry's friend and favourite drummer instead of Romano who plays on this.
superb music in less than high fidelity  .
ENJOY!!..


PS- i'm posting it by way of experimenting with a suitable file host  since quite a few people are struggling to use Mega.... basically this upload is a shot in the dark .

i would appreciate any feedback relating to the accessibility of  Mixturecloud

ROGER TURNER "THE BLUR BETWEEN" (CAW, 1981)

This is the second release on the tiny imprint CAW. The first one you'll find here

Found this LP by chance as I didn't know it existed at all - it was filed as "Rock"...which probably was a joke. I don't know wether CAW made more than two LPs but I'm glad they recorded Roger Turner's solo.
Always liked percussion solo and this outing is a very fine example of the respective art.

Hamiet Bluiett-Impossible to keep,1996 (rec 1979)

And here's my favorite band of Bluiett's , the same that also made 'Resolution'on Black Saint,the deep empathetic chemistry , with Pullen dating back to the Mingus band of a few years before ,very much in evidence here.

Sobre una nube was originally released as the India Navigation Lp SOS,

This double disc features the whole concert pretty much unedited.

enjoy!!

Hamiet Bluiett-Endangered species,1976

All i can say is that this music has some primal atavistic soul  searching quality ,which challenges and ultimately offends the dull mediocre stultifying formalism &/conservatism of our era shaped as it is by a cold heartless, bloodless consumer consensus global economy.

One could quite happily reside in the vacuum .of this music... the drag is having to snap out of such deep dream listening states , and be jolted back to a harsh unyielding reality of alienation, imminent decay and  collapse.
This album has just that inexplicable shamanic power. all misanthropic repulsion aside....its so joyously alive...and vulnerable.

Hamiet Bluiett , is a faith healer of sorts ,who purveys an aural balm , which will in large enough doses sensitize one to the injustice of being trapped in an ever encroaching nightmare , and who therefore deserves support.

(click on the back cover for the line up and other info).... its a great band with Olu Dara , and Phillip Wilson.. in great form.
Some of the best records of Bluiett's in print can be bought from Cam Jazz who own the black saint catalog, they are selling them as both downloads and physical cds.
Jazz based Music of the late 70's doesnt get much better than Resolution or dangerously Suite

KING ÜBÜ ÖRCHESTRÜ "MÜNCHNER BIG BAND MEETING 1992"

What a (big) band - but quite contraire to Globe Unity, the LJCO or Sun Ra's Arkestra. Much more restrained  in their pace but with no less power or sophistication. Their improvisations were "lower-case" before it became something like a working method for a younger generation. Some have gone in this direction quite far - hear Radu Malfatti's output for the last 15 (or more) years.

They made four recordings. One LP, which is sadly OOP and three CDs.
The last one should at least be still available > here

As far as I know Wolfgang Fuchs is seriously ill...so the orchestra is defunct.
Hope he does well.....

CHRiSTiAN WALLUMRØD ENSEMBLE - Live in Lugano 2o1o

Let's take this as small act of justice between IS and interesting blog Musica degradata, where is possible to find some OOP albums in mp3, originated from lossless rips posted here. Otherwise, that blog is full of ECM-related broadcast recordings and currently unavailable albums, mostly in mp3@320, but there are rare flac exceptions, like this concert.

Futura Poesia Sonora

This is a collection of sound poetry, originally issued by the Cramps label in 1978 as a seven lp box and reissued in the 90s as a five cd box set. The cds sound as if they were sourced from the initial lp release and not from master tapes. They cover futurism, dadaism and surrealism and newer excursions into, shall we say, fairly non-sensical poetry and narratives.

Some of these tracks can also be found on the Ubu web site which we have included in the blog list in the column on the right.

Tracks are too numerous to be listed here, but please consult Discogs for the details:

  http://www.discogs.com/Various-Futura-Poesia-Sonora/release/859345

Information about the arstists and selections are scattered here and there, but some net searches are bound to produce results. This posting is without the accompanying comprehensive booklet.

This is from a torrent site, in mp3, which for speech should be fully adequate, but if anyone has an upgrade, we would not say no.

WOLFGANG DAUNER - Output (ECM 1970)

I got this from rutracker torrent site and somebody (possibly original uploader - thank you mishka1981) was carrying enough to make complete early ECM-like CD artwork for it. I found it while searching for Eberhard Weber and realized later that this is his first ECM date ever. Probably one of the weirdest albums on the label, it was well described by Tyran Grillo on his "between sound and space" blog:

An early outlier in the ECM catalog, Output convulses with as much lively originality as it did when it was first released. Wolfgang Dauner, perhaps better known as founder of the United Jazz + Rock Ensemble, assembles a modest trio of talent for this classic 1970 studio free-for-all. The end result is humor, provocation, brilliance, and chaos all rolled into one. (...) Superb, if jumbled, musicianship and a strong attention to detail make for a unique experience all around. Dauner does wonders with limited means, Braceful sheds his skin at every turn, and this is a far cry from the Weber of the languid orchestral suites. Not an easy listen for the faint of heart, but one that will give back what’s put into it. Viable candidate for quirkiest album cover of all time?

MASAHIKO TOGASHI & INTER-ACTION – INTER-ACTION: LIVE AT HALL EGG FARM ON DECEMBER 9, 1995 (TAKE ONE RECORDS, 1996)

Masahiko Togashi's first professional performance was in 1955 and his first recording in 1957. Over the next couple of weeks I have a few albums to share from a series of 40th anniversary live concerts recorded in 1995. The first is with his long time collaborators, Masahiko Sato on piano and Nouyoshi Ino, on bass. On saxophone is Junji Hirose, who is probably best known outside Japan for his work with Otomo Yoshihide in Ground-Zero.

Togashi did the cover painting too.

EVANS - FERNÁNDEZ - GUSTAFSSON (EFG TRIO) "MUNICH 2012"

This was an excellent concert - and the music was quite different than what I've expected from their CD "Kopros Lithos" (you can get the CD here or there but also in downtown). More "subdued" but not less fascinating - maybe the music for an excellent SF (i know that's a rare species).
The concert and the three were a real fun to behold - haven't heard the recording yet, as I prefer to cherish my memories as long as possible - but you've missed it. So here's it for you.
Enjoy!

Jacques Bisceglia, 1940-2013

Black & White Fantasy

French photographer Jacques Bisceglia passed away on March 1st, 2013. Even if his tool was not a musical instrument, his work is an integral part of the history of the music we love and we feel it is important to pay tribute to him. From the 60's onward, Jacques Bisceglia photographed many moments of jazz making: iconic episodes such as the Pan-African Festival in Algiers or Albert Ayler at the Fondation Maeght, but also many more mundane moments, daily life episodes or concerts now forgotten, moments he captured masterfully.

At the end of Jacques Bisceglia's Black & White Fantasy book, published in 1984 and now out-of-print, Abbey Lincoln wrote "Bisceglia's work speaks for itself, of course." Very much so, this is why we would like to share a few pictures, taken from Black & White Fantasy.

For more information on Jacques Bisceglia's life and his often astute views on the history of the music, see William Parker's essential Conversations book (Rogue Art, 2011). The book features an interview with Bisceglia (the only non-musician) and is illustrated with his work. Rogue Art also published a collaboration between Bisceglia and poet Steve Dalachinsky, titled Reaching Into the Unknown (2009). French speaking readers might want to look for the "Memories of You" series of articles Bisceglia wrote for the Improjazz magazine.
