EKKEHARD JOST QUINTET "CARAMBOLAGE" (VIEW,1983)
Excellent music by Ekkehard Jost and his comrades. "Palestrinas Reise nach Cadiz" is one of my favourite tunes from him which he has recorded at least twice.
Another version and other clichè-free music can be found here.
http://www.jazzhausmusik.de/pages/catalog_by_id.php?label_id=11
I would like to recommend three CDs:
"Deep" with - among others - Tony Oxley and "Some Other Tapes" with different line-ups (including the second version of "Palestrinas Reise nach Cadiz").
And "Wintertango" with his working group.

DIETMAR DIESNER "SOLO" (AMIGA, 1988)
This is one of the rare appearances of Dietmar Diesner on LP/CD. He's not very eager to do recordings at all and his opinion is that (freely) improvised music is better appreciated in a live setting (... he might have a point ...). And the last of his few recordings he seemingly made approximately 1997/98 - and that's it.
... who weren't at the location when the music happened ....

alto saxophone, electronics, feedback-effects
Recorded May 3 to 5, 1988 at AMIGA-Studio, Berlin

(vinyl rip)
BTW: "Verweigerung des Unplötzlichen" means something like "refusal of the un-sudden". And "Entzeitigung" means that something (or everything) is 'removed' from the influence of time on all (or some) things existing.

Revolutionary Ensemble - Live in Genoa '05
This is a "special" post for two reasons : it's n°600 from the beginning
of I.S. and, most of all, this is the recording that documents the last live
performance of the legendary Revolutionary Ensemble.
Exactly six months after the Warsaw performance documented by the
Mutable Music's record "Beyond the Boundary of Time", the Three were
invited to Genoa for a single concert : here is the report of that historical
evening. In the folders you'll find also some photos taken at the concert.

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.

JORMIN - GUSTAFSSON - JORMIN "UMEÅ, 1997"
Here we have a contribution by inamorata (another one will follow)
***
Jormin - Gustafsson - Jormin
December 11, 1997
Umea, Sweden
Anders Jormin, bass
Mats Gustafsson, saxes and clarinet (?) [fluteophone??]
Christian Jormin, drums
01 Broadcast intro 0:53
02 What reason could I give? (Ornette Coleman) 7:42
03 Korpo II (Gustafsson) 11:30
04 Apus Apus (Jormin/Gustafsson/Jormin) 11:47
05 Unidentified 18:19
06 Unidentified 8:24
07 Broadcast outro 0:19
TT 58:54
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 :)
