FRED VAN HOVE "KKWTT" (NATO, 1984)



This a re-up from a post I made in January 2012. The words below are from this year.
But most of them are still good. Especially why is there no re-issue and more particularly > Enjoy!


When I got to hear this recording at a friends house (thank you A.) I immediately knew I had to obtain this extraordinary and marvelous composition (and playing!!) by Fred Van Hove.

Some days ago it arrived - and upon second hearing I wasn't disappointed - Au Contraire!

Hopefully Nato is preparing a proper reissue...

Enjoy!

marvellous, onxidlib, thank you very much! :)

pierre cornuel's cover arts are among my very favorites - how odd!!

matt w said...

Very nice, thank you!

Somehow it reminds me of Chris Jonas's The Vermillion (which of course is later).

Is there a tuba player as well? The Euro Free Improv page lists Jozef Matthessen.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

Yes, there's a tuba player as well - seems I've forgot him...

Great. Thank you.

Thanks for posting an album by Fred Van Hove. It reminds me that there was a thriving Flemish free jazz scene in the seventies, mostly Antwerp-based. I saw quite a few of these guys in live gigs. Most are forgotten now, Van Hove seems to be the sole survivor.

I was about to upload it but the quality of your LP rips are much better than mine. So thank you very much ;-)

@ Zootropo, at least wupload is still working - I've checked it a few minutes ago and everything was OK!

Please be more persistent before alerting us...
