ALEXANDER VON SCHLIPPENBACH QUINTET "FRANKFURT, 1972"


Heres one of many ,great german radio broadcasts documenting the European free jazz scene between 1966-74.
Which have appeared on dime lately.
This ones particularly enjoyable, an invaluable document of a stunning group at the peak of a creative era.
I love everything ive ever heard of schlippenbach.
The sound is very good for an fm broadcast of this vintage.
Many thanks to the person/persons seeding these and the original taper.Thanks also to boromir,and glmlr for finding this.


Alexander von Schlippenbach, piano
Evan Parker, tenor & soprano saxophone

    thanks, sotise. this looks very exciting.

    i was just talking to a friend earlier today. he mentioned seeing brotzmann, van hove, & bennink at ucla at some point in the early 70s. that must have been broadcast, or at least recorded. makes you wonder how many of these things are out there collecting dust in the various archives of the world.

    Technical question:
    If the FLAC files are in multiple zip files, how do I combine them?
    thanks

    just click on the first file (the one marked "part1" or whatever). the others should open automatically if you're using winrar. & if you're not you should.

    this schlip is pretty hot. there seem to be some composed moments here -- on the whole a more crowd-friendly set than, say, the contemporaneous *pakistani pomade*. very interesting, though, esp. parker's contributions. you can tell that he was a huge coltrane disciple only a few years earlier (not a dig at all). still a varied set throughout.

    Thank you Boromir, Glmlr and Sotise.
    Schlippenbach is one of my favourites. And with Parker, Lovens… And live. Wonderful.

    Now that you're a lot of contributors is difficult to follow you. What a lot of records. I'm a freelance graphic designer, that means that I've got all the day to listen music. But even for me you post so fast, and I don't want to lose any of these gems!

    Here is a Pakistani Pomade (now OOP, I think), if you want to make the comparison;

    Many thanks, Sotise (my fellow Joe McPhee devotee). This is a wonderful band and we can never hear enough of them.

    Thanks for posting this -- I especially love Christmann and there's very little of his stuff in print.

    (I think you can still get the Pakistani Pomade album with extra tracks on CD from Atavistic.)
