Lester Bowie, Malachi Favor, Roscoe Mitchell - Live March 31, 1979 Verrona Italy.



Here is a live recording by three totally unknown musicians.
One long improvisation with appearances of some tracks that may be familiar for some of us. Played in the fall of the seventies this music is in fact more close to the early spirit of those musicians at the time when Lester was recording number 1 & 2, at the time when the band’s name was the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble.

March 31, 1979 location unknown to me except Vienna Austria.

  5. @Rev.B
    yes I hope someone will release some records of those new coming artists, we'll let you know if it happens.
    @Davide
    Your date can be right. In fact the problem with the bootleg recording is that due to some questions of copyrights, dates or locations can be changed. To be sure one could check the sessionnography of the musicians. But actually I haven't got time to do it.

  9. The silence is correct but the name of Verona not! One "r" only! Romeo and Juliet will be very disappointed! :-)
    By the way thanks for sharing this great recording.

  10. Jarman and Moye missed the train or something?

  11. No, the bus!.
    In fact the band was playing concerts in various combinations. At the same time Moye and Jarman have also a duet and recorded for India Navigation.
