Thanks very much Nick. I'm hearing this with new ears.
This showing up on Herb Ailbert's imprint at all was surprising back in '76. Then again, they did record and publish Ornette...
Probably the the best of THE RE's output for recorded sound. I also love the succinct, relative brevity of the pieces offered here. I'm relly looking forward to comparing to the rip that I have. Thanks for the post.
Beautiful. Pristine rip!
Thanks, Nick. I used to have this on vinyl. I'm glad you made a nice rip of this long oop LP. Thanks!
This album had a very long-stay in the cut-out bins; really wasn't thought of very-highly in its' time...,but times change,don't they?
I first got to know this through this blog, and now have a Brazilian pressing, with a cover in Portuguese. I´m not sure how many of these would have been produced, but the sound quality is very good. The music is exceptional, with an edge and bite which seems quite distinct from most of the other ensembles of the time - AEOC, Human Arts Ensemble, Black Arts Ensemble, and so on. I love the music these different groups created.
Hi PettyV, those are in print on itunes.
Excellent, sounds much better !!
Can anybody do a re-up of their 2005 Genoa anywhere but RapidShare ? All the parts have extraction errors (on multiple PCs / OS so it would be great if I could get it all
Thanks in advance
It was not surprising at all that this album showed up on the A&M subsidiary label Horizon - that was the whole point of Horizon being created - it was an outlet for Jazz records that were on the more extreme side, such as Ornette Coleman, Charley Haden, Sonny Fortune, Don Cherry ....
The fact that this album was in cut-out bins was because the format and material was pretty advanced. On the contrary, the album got good reviews at the time. The market for jazz violin is not all that large. I've seen all sorts of groups/artists in cut-out bins that were doing very well - sometimes, a store just wanted to liquidate it's excess inventory quickly as a cut-out.
RE POST, PLEASE!...
THX!...
