PETER KOWALD, BOBBY NAUGHTON, LEO SMITH, GÜNTER SOMMER "LIVE AT WDR KOLN 3/12/81"


Here's another wonderful
concert, in very good sound
acquired in a trade with a 'friend'

anyone familiar with the ,wonderful fmp disc , touch the earth break the shells, will already have an informed view of the stunning empathy between kowald ,smith, and sommer.
well this concert adds the highly individual approach to the vibraphone of bobby naughton a neglected figure whos contributions to classic leo smith, anthony braxton, and roscoe mitchell albums, to some extent shaped my appreciation of the instrument's possibilities as something other than a merely pianistic approach, ah la say milt jackson.
all i can say about this is that, its a major statement by masters who's names should be in every lover of improvised music's lexicon, this is as great an example of aacm , post 60's free intergrating with euro free improv as one could hope to find, anyone interested in either should on no account overlook this superlative gem.

A total of 11 cd mostly double will cover one concert from 1978 and ten from 1979. All the concerts were done at the Immanuel United Church of Christ (I.U.C.C) where Horace Tapscott managed a program of support to the black musicians around the Los Angeles community. Unfortunately the first volume is already sold out, it was pressed at 250 copies. Obviously Nimbus didn’t suppose that the reactions were so positive so fast. So the ten others volumes will be pressed at 333 copies and a program of subscription is also available. For $225 it is possible to buy all the 10 volumes or it is also possible to buy each volume separately. It is in my opinion a rare opportunity to follow a group during several month of Sunday concerts given several times by month in 1979.
