Elton Dean Quartet - Live in Milan '79

Curiously, this great quartet (directly derived from E.Dean's
Ninesense), didn't left us any official recording.
Magnificently supported by the rhythmic-section, the late English
saxophonist shows all his qualities, especially with the saxello.

Rec. live at "Teatro Cristallo", Milan, Italy,
on February 25, 1979 (mix recording)

Elton Dean.alto saxophone,saxello
Keith Tippett,upright piano
Harry Miller,bass
Louis Moholo,drums

1. Oasis (20:35)
2. Nancy [With The Laughing Face] (11:21)
3. Dede-Burbup (04:37)
4. That's For Cha/Seven For Lee/Fara [inc.] (27:24)

Total Time 1:03:58

Thank you!

longbranch said...

Great, thanks much! Can't wait to listen--looks like an ideal group.

wightdj said...

That's an all-star band, thanks!

bra robs said...

great! thank you!!
there is an official record of the quartet "they all be on this old road" on ogun records.

Than you for all these wonderful posts! Id'like to hear more live performance of british & south african bands

Well, not quite. The quartet that made "They all be on this road" had Chris Lawrence on bass, not Harry Miller. But Elton Dean did make one official record in Italy, "The Bologna Tapes" which came out on Ogun in the mid-80s. Sleeve notes by Riccardo Bergerone. Not our Riccardo, I presume?

riccardo said...

@ kinabalu

i knew R.Bergerone very well
having exchanged, with him, a lot
of tapes (in those years).

john said...

great, thanks for this. Live Dean never disappoints.

kinabalu said...

riccardo, no, I thought it wasn't you, as your surname is different, but I'm not surprised that you knew the other Riccardo. I could put up those two I mentioned, if they haven't been blogged elsewhere before.

riccardo said...

@ kinabalu

for sure both are (for the moment)
OOP but, "They all be on this road"
has been already blogged, while
"The Bologna Tapes" has yet to be posted.

riccardo said...

The same quartet (Amsterdam (NL), Melkweg, September 16, 1977)
here

black sun said...

we don't have this quartet recorded officialy, but adding mark charig we get the quintet fom japo's lp 'boundaries'...

black sun said...

my mistake: the bassist on the japo disc is marcio mattos, not henry miller.

Andy I said...

Terrific! Surely this was the ideal grouping for all concerned.
Big thanks.

As written in the original post this band never officially recorded, the only official album that get closer to this band is the EDQ "they all be on this old road", but with Chris lawrence replaced Harry Miller

Great news, this concert is now officially available with a very good sound

on cd and digital

I've just listened to the official release of this concert published by "british progressive jazz" and I can say that I'm very disappointed. They have put some gap between all tracks and particularly between "that's for cha and seven for Lee that have been played without interruption and available like this on the bootleg version posted here. On the cd "that's for cha" end in a fade out and "seven for Lee" start suddenly. This last track is also shorter than on the bootleg version (around 3 minutes less). In one word "british progressive jazz " have done a real shit job. I don't recommend to buy the official version.
It is not the first time that I notice that this label is not doing real good job in therm of sound and editing. Compared to "jazz in Britain", "british progressive jazz" is really less interesting.
