Anatoly Vapirov - Invocation

The second step of our journey to the east will allow us to discover a record that should have been a classic, it's also the first time we talk about this musician here.
Anatoly Vapirov has an important discography that includes many excellent records, unfortunately they are almost all self-produced and practically not distributed. This is unfortunate because this musician is in my opinion one of the most interesting actual saxophonist.


A/ Invocation Of Spirit, B1/ Invocation Of Fire, B2/ Invocation Of Water.


-Ivars Galenieks: bass on side a
-Vladimir Volkov: bass on side b
-Valentina Ponomareva: vocal on side a
-Sergey Kuryokhin: piano & percussions on side a, piano prepared on side b
-Alexander Alexandrov: bassoon on side b
-Anatoly Vapirov: reeds 


Side A recorded October 1983 in Novosibirsk 
Side B recorded end of 1981 in Leningrad.

Originally published by leo Records lr 121 in 1984

I have been intending to digitise my own vinyl copy of this, one of my favourites of Mr Feigin's early releases, for a long, long time. Many thanks for saving me the hassle.

In the 80's, there appeared to be a number of musicians in the Soviet Union making music that seemed to run parallel to Western Jazz etc, but from an entirely Slavic(?) starting point. Would you have any more? And whatever happened to Homo Liber?

@Marten512
Unfortunately I had the first lp of Homo Liber but it have been damaged by water and it sounds too bad to be digitalized, if someone have it and can provide their two albums it would be great. Regarding the future of this series that I have started I have only thought about the next post that will probably be about Harry Tavitian

Hearty thanks for the post.

@ely:
I've not encountered the Fichier problem. However, I'm not able to convert the FLAC files to mp3 via the Kika tool I use. Perhaps an issue with the way they were packed; FLACS from other sources convert just fine.

You can use audacity to convert in mp3, it will work.

@correct silence:
Thanks for the tip. It was the slashes in the file naming that confused my converter. I removed them and it worked. I misspoke about the converter I use, it's called All2MP3.

Ah, the sometimes miraculous Sergey Kuryokhin... How wonderful to see his name again. Thanks for this.
