That's a little more light thrown on a fairly microscopic discography [The Trio].<br />Live in Altena not as 'coruscating' as I'd been led to expect - clearly quite composed thematically / structurally. Frequently meditative. I found myself enjoying Phillips & Martin's playing every bit as much as Surman's. (which should be the case in *any* good Trio I suppose).<br />Thanks kinabalu, and looking forward to the 'more' promised ..servicetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411489012950761292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-82569571339253344832010-04-25T07:20:41.568+02:002010-04-25T07:20:41.568+02:00Oh, and there is of course Barre Phillips' &qu...Oh, and there is of course Barre Phillips' "Mountainscapes" ECM LP from 1976, which is basically another album by The Trio, though it's still readily available, so not really a contender for this blog...<br /><br />http://www.discogs.com/Barre-Phillips-Mountainscapes/release/543379<br /><br />It's a great album btw, though quite different to what these three recorded as 'The Trio'.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711710646244410024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-12403595644478708902010-04-25T02:41:05.288+02:002010-04-25T02:41:05.288+02:00Excellent!

Looking forward to giving this a spin. <br /><br />I have the *Conflagration* disc from the Dawn two-fer sotise mentions. I could post that in some kind of lossless format at some point, but at the moment I'm on the road. FWIW I'm not terribly fond of that big-band session. <br /><br />I actually hear a lot of Surman in Ken Vandermark's sound.

The author notes the album has been released with three different covers on two different labels. You can see the other sleeve variations at the link.<br /><br />Also, if you check out JG 21/22 "Internationales New Jazz Meeting Auf Burg Altena 1970" you'll also see The Trio listed as contributing half a side to this 2LP set.<br /><br />There's also yet another Trio contribution to JG24 / 25 "Remembering ยด70" with Alan Skidmore guesting.<br /><br />But the above mentioned unavailable Ogun LP 'By Contact' is the one I most covet next (nudge nudge wink wink).Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711710646244410024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-6961595432860182612010-04-24T03:33:23.876+02:002010-04-24T03:33:23.876+02:00Nice to hear this, thanks.Nice to hear this, thanks.wightdjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880571295912260674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-45911013148047724932010-04-24T01:16:12.668+02:002010-04-24T01:16:12.668+02:00thanks kinabalu!
