Cosmic Rebop Society (Plutonium 2013, DVD)

 I found this in my collection and I don't remember where I got it, probably from Mark Weaver. My memory is not the same as it was.
The strange thing is that I cannot find any reference in the web, also plutonium records page has disappeared.
The other musicians looks as well unknown, but the music is really worth, the images also.
I added the audio extraction, directly from DVD, while the movie is a mp4.

WOLFGANG DAUNER "DER URSCHREI" (HANNOVER, 1974)

 

The promo LP from which I've ripped this rare composition by Wolfgang Dauner wasn't in the best condition. Removed several louder clicks 'n' pops manually. Then I've added a very mild filtering. You will still hear some crackling especially in the quieter parts of this work but I'm sure that the music deserves to be heard even with some extra noise.

Two years later in 1976 Dauner composed a jazz opera titled "Der Urschrei des Musikers" for the Berlin Jazz Days; during the performance Dauner had excerpts from contracts with musicians read aloud. The work dealt with the mechanisms in the record industry of that time.
And again in August 2010 in Stuttgart he came back to the topic (BTW: Urschrei means primal scream) with a composition / opera titled 'Second Prelude to the Primal Scream' (Zweiter Auftakt für den Urschrei) [conducted by Dennis Russell Davies] in memory of his Berlin opera.
How much the music offered here is the seed for the latter two compositions I don't know. But it seems rather likely that Dauner had an idea / theme which kept coming back through a good part of his life as musician and composer.

This show is relatively well circulated, but in variable sound quality, often with the sequence of compositions mixed up and/or one track missing (Eurydice was officially released) or otherwise incomplete. The date given for most versions, July 27, is also incorrect.

This new and uncirculated version is remastered from the best of several versions I picked up over the years, a trade CD I received from an Austrian collector. It appears to be fairly close to the original source but has the usual issues coming with several generations of cassette copies (pitch slightly sharp, azimuth errors, clicks and other artifacts). I have corrected all of these and remastered the sound, and I doubt you will find a better version of this historic show.

Considered to be the earliest known live recording of Weather Report, this represents what might be called the 'consolidated' first line-up with Dom um Romao having replaced Airto Moreira (and the other percussionists, Don Alias and Barbara Burton, who also contributed to the eponymous first album but remained uncredited). Alphonse Mouzon was still on board.

The venue was the 'Third International Music Forum Ossiach' in Carinthia, initiated by Friedrich Gulda, which brought together such diverse acts as, among others, Paul and Limpe Fuchs, Tangerine Dream, Arvind Parikh, Le groupe liturgique de Tunis, Pink Floyd, The Trio, and Gulda himself playing Mozart. While the audience sounds rather polite and restrained during the Weather Report show, Ossiach was flooded by enthusiastic hippies when Pink Floyd played on July 1st. The natives were shocked and as a consequence Gulda's festival had to move to Viktring, also in Carinthia, for the next editions. Selected recordings from the festival, made by the Austrian radio and TV network, ORF, were released on a three-LP sampler by BASF under the title Ossiach Live. This includes, as mentioned, Eurydice from the Weather Report set, in a very different mix from what we have here. The 2 CD edition from 2008 appears to be unofficial.

MAX ROACH "THE LOADSTAR" (HORO, 1977)

 

 

Resurrected post with a high defintion vinyl rip.

Here's the original write up:

Horo Number 3 from I Forgot Clifford. I had 5 Max Roach discs on Clifford, and 2 of them were in the top ten (this one and Confirmation). This may be a bit surprising since much of the blog had free jazz. Max transcended generations having bopped with Bird and later played with Braxton, Cecil Taylor, Shepp, hip hoppers, MBoom, etc. I have posted this one because it is very rare and contains a lot of music. As noted previously, Billy Harper is great on this disc. If you are new to Max's drums, listen to the dialogue he sets up between snare and bass drum. The last of this breed may be Roy Haynes.

inamorata second remaster version

This comes from a Swedish radio broadcast of a great live performance of music from the “Opus Apus” CD (LJ Records LJCD 5212, 1996). I picked it up on dimeadozen.org in 2012 and posted a remastered version there in 2016. In December 2020 I made a new version which, I think, sounds quite nice given the difficult source material. For information on the editing and remastering see the info file.

This is improvised music and I find it difficult to identify compositions. Except for trach 02, I’m not sure if I got it right (and if my guess concerning the Swedish outro is right the announcer disagrees with my identification of track 03).

The Opus Apus CD may still be available at the JL Records website (http://www.lj-records.se/). At any rate, a digital download can be purchased at Gustafsson’s Bandcamp site (https://matsgustafsson.bandcamp.com/album/opus-apus). Highly recommended!

Upcoming Release XXI

 Here are two incredible releases from the label Blank Forms Editions scheduled in mid June, both appears to be some essential records for fans of Don Cherry.

First is one of the earliest incarnation of the organic music theatre, a live recorded in France in 1972, with Nana, Moki, Christer Bothèn and french saxophonist Doudou Gouirand, the sound seems perfect.

The second double cd is titled « Summer House Session » and it is one of the many jam sessions that Don Cherry organised when he was in Sweden. Here also the sound is incredible and the sound samples reveals a fantastic music. Those two releases foreshadows a very cool summer :)

JOHN RUSSELL - R.I.P. (1954 - 2021)

 

 Photo Andy Newcombe

 

Sad: I learned an hour ago that John Russell has died yesterday.

I was lucky to see him in May, 2010 in Munich where he held a workshop and gave a concert afterwards.

I remember him as being an open guy with a great humour. Between two sets we've talked outside the club (we're both smoking a cigarette) and he told me several jokes - not only about musicians. Will miss him not only as a singular guitarist and musician. Still cherish these memories of a human being which impressed me not only with his musicianship.

Bobby Few October 21, 1935 - January 6, 2021

 

From early sessions with Albert Ayler to his most recent recordings with Waclaw Zimpell and his own discography, Bobby Few was a singular voice in the free jazz area. Still lyrical in the middle of the stormy twin team of Frank Wright and Noah Howard, his music was the real reflect of himself, a quiet guy, peaceful. Trained in classical music and gospel, his touch on the key was immediately recognisable.

Here is a breath taking performance in solo. I have added to the file an interview that I’ve realised for radio campus Paris in May 2017, it is the original conversation in english before an editing and translate with addition of music for the program in french.
