Nelson Freire-Plays Heitor Villa Lobos- Telefunken LP , Sat,22547

As a warm welcome back to Tantris and small coda to his post, heres a magnificent, passionate recital by Nelson Freire as a young man, delivering a vivid set of some of Villa Lobos's most challenging  and often percussive piano music , including the best version i've ever heard of the highly dissonant early Rudepoema!
Enjoy!!

Heitor Villa-Lobos - Chôros no. 11

This kaleidoscopic, epic work, a bit like a piano concerto and symphony colliding, describes Brazil from many different angles – landscape, people, colours, street sounds, wildlife, culture. If you know Messiaen´s Turangalîla-Symphonie, you might also like this.

This is a live performance from 1992, rebroadcast a few months ago on Rádio Cultura FM. There are occasional tape quality issues, but nothing too serious;

Sonny Sharrock Band 
Konzertmitschnitt vom 29. Oktober 1987, Schauburg, Bremen 
Der amerikanische Musiker Sonny Sharrock begann als Sänger und wechselte dann zur Gitarre. Er war Mitglied der Herbie Manns Gruppe und arbeitete mit Miles Davis zusammen. Er war einer der ersten Künstler, die den Free-Jazz auf der Gitarre spielten. Erleben Sie einen Ausschnitt aus seinem Bremer Konzert vom 29. Oktober 1987.

Sonny Sharrock
Warren "Sonny" Sharrock war ein unkonventioneller Gitarrist, in vielfacher Hinsicht. Er galt als Free-Jazz-Mann. Tatsächlich scherte er sich wenig um herkömmliche Gitarrentechniken, sondern spezialisierte sich auf radikale Sound-Attacken. Trotzdem suchte er die Verknüpfung mit Rockjazz, Soul und R&B. So wirkte er an Miles Davis-Sessions für das Album "Jack Johnson" mit. Außerdem war er geraume Zeit Gitarrist in der populären Funk-Band von Flötist Herbie Mann.

Gebhard Ullmann zog Anfang der achtziger Jahre aus dem Rheinland nach Berlin und prägte dort die Szene entscheidend mit, bevor er ab 1989 seine Zeit zwischen Berlin und New York teilte. Bis heute hat sich der weit¬gereiste Saxofonist bei aller Verbundenheit mit Berlin zugleich eine distanzierte Draufsicht auf den multikulturellen Ameisenhaufen bewahrt. Seine Idee von Berlin ist global, genau wie seine Band, deren Mitglieder aus ganz Europa und New York stammen. Aus dieser multinationalen Perspektive ergibt sich in seiner „Berlin Suite“ ein flirrendes Wimmelbild unterschiedlichster Situationen, das sich zu sonischen Momentaufnahmen vom Maybachufer bis zur Museumsinsel verdichtet. Beim Jazzfest erlebt die „Berlin Suite“ ihre Premiere vor großem Publikum.

JEFF CLYNE - IAN CARR - TREVOR WATTS - JOHN STEVENS "SPRINGBOARD" (POLYDOR, 1966)

This was previously posted by kinabalu in December 2009. 
As the links are long gone I thought it would be time for a re-up.
In fact it was this post (thank you kinabalu!) which made me aware about this excellent and still not re-issued LP. 
New rip in flac with (small) cover pictures.

And here's the original text from Kinabalu:

Well, whaddyaknow! I made a request for this in the last post and here it is, served on a golden platter by reader "corvimax" who dipped into the big pool of the P2Ps to retrieve the goodies for our joint enjoyment here on the blog.

Having listened to it several times, it remains a huge mystery why this album has not been deemed worthy of reissue after 40 years, still fetching bundles of money on the collector's market.

This was recorded in 1966, but only released in 1969 on Polydor.

The basic facts:

Jeff Clyne, Ian Carr, Trevor Watts, John Stevens - Springboard

1. Love Was Born [TW]
2. C4 [JS]
3. Ballad [JC]
4. Helen's Clown [TW]
5. Ou Sont Les Neiges D'Antan [IC]
6. Crazy Jane [IC]
7. Springboard [JS]

Ian Carr - trumpet, flugehorn
Trevor Watts - alto sax
Jeff Clyne - bass
John Stevens - drums

Recorded at Regent Sound Studio, London.

(Aug 1966, Polydor 545007)

This is a brilliant album, probably "free" by the standards of the time, but not really free in the sense of the later compact minimalism of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble. It also predates the later fusion of Nucleus, of which Carr and Clyne were founder members, but there are elements of the later Amalgam obviously, with three of the members present here. Perhaps one can hear shades of the early Ornette Coleman and Joe Harriott combos who were pioneers in defining the new thing in the late 50s. It's unorthodox, but still very melodious, chemically free of the mid- to late-60s blow-outs associated with the ESP label. Whatever labels to attach, this is fresh to these ears, more than 40 years after the fact.

After listening to this album, I would advise our followers to listen to the John Stevens - Chemistry - album which we have posted here before. Interesting linkages and continuities from this to the later Chemistry from the mid-70s.

As always, enjoy! More to come! And another thanks to "cortimax" for digging this out of the virtual ether.

Ronald Shannon Jackson 12 January 1940 - 19 October 2013

I just learnt of the passing away of Ronald Shannon Jackson at the age of 73: He was suffering from leukemia. I saw Shannon Jackson twice, first with the Decoding Society in my home town and then with Last Exit at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Scheweningen in 1987, just outside the Hague. I also bought several Decoding Society records back in the 80s and I believe they can still be found easily.

Much later I found out that the NSJF gig was videotaped and parts of it also appeared on "Cassette Recordings" out on the Enemy label the same year. So what I can offer here in memory of Shannon Jackson is a little over 40 minutes of Last Exit at the NSJF.

RIP
