KEITH TIPPETT'S ARK "100 CLUB LONDON - MAY 1976"



This is for Andy - although I refrain from downloading recently most music we are offered through him (or others) I wish to express my gratitude. ...hope you don't know it already ;)

...this is a cooking performance!

 - still remember the first time I listened to "Frames" which is still available...if someone still doesn't have it....

  3. Thank you very much Onx. I would be here without you. (Why refrain?)

  4. I'm glad you're here!

    Why refrain...
    I've so little time for listening recently. Plus I'm moving house in the next few weeks - already preparing and packing the stuff.
    Ten years here has helped to accumulate so much things I believe I do not need - but which one...?
    Already so much music I haven't heard not even once - plus more on my hard-drives...feeling overwhelmed.
    But still dl very few items...

  5. @ Onx. Obviously that should have read 'I would not be here without you'. I understand. Good luck with the move.

  6. Thanks for posting this early version of Frames. Keith Tippett is one of my very favourite musicians since many years. So I'm ever happy to find Keith Tippett's Ark on your blog. - Something seems to be wrong with title 5. It runs only 8:17 minutes and then breaks off abruptly. Could you eventually fix that, please? Thanks!

  7. ...of course I'm not "ever happy" but very happy, to find Keith Tippett's Ark on your blog... - sorry for that. - but the problem with title 5 remains.

  9. Thanks for this early slab of Ark. I do agree wholeheartedly that no discerning household ought to be without a copy of Frames. I should add for the sake of honesty that it's been a while since I listened to it, so thanks for the implicit reminder.

    @Onx: Good luck with the move and I'll be "tuning in" on Friday!

  10. Many thanks for this wonderful post, Onx! Some of my favourite musicians of ever all together (Elton, Charig, Nick Evans, Brian Smith from Nucleus, Harry Miller...). The recording is very good to be from the '70's. Now I'm expecting, after the move, a "Just Us" recording. Maybe I'm expecting too much?! :-)
