It may seem unlikely but this CD (then as a LP) was my first exposure to music made by double bass solely. Since this "satori" some 25 years ago I have heard a bunch of sometimes outstanding solo outings by bassists. (K.H. Stockhausen once called F.Grillo the "Buddha" of the double bass).
There's a buddhist proverb which goes roughly - "If you meet Buddha kill him" - in this case I would prefer to caress him.
Today it seems he's concentrating on his personal vision of baroque music.
There are not many available recordings with him in a contemporary setting. One exceptional exemple of his skills can be heard on Iancu Dumitrescu's first published CD, where he plays a grandiose interpretation of "Medium III" - strongly recommended.

"... one of the few original moments of the festival, since this group had something else to say than almost anybody else." (Marc-A. Chenard, Coda 210, Oct/Nov 1986)
Owombat says: it appears from the musicians comments, that the concert started with the music on the B-side of the LP.

Even if it's not in the habits of Inconstant Sol to write about moving images, we're going to make an exception for a special short film. Made in 1967 by director Henry English, "You see what I'm trying to say" could be described as a portrait of Marion Brown in New York, both parts of the sentence being of importance.
Scarcely shown or circulated, it has kindly been transfered to digital media by Henry and we feel that it's something the readers of Inconstant Sol will want to see. Of note : the film contains shots of a studio session (set-up for the movie) involving Marion Brown, Dave Burrell, Sirone, and Bobby Kapp.
Shortly after the making of the film, Marion Brown - fed up with his poor financial situation - would take off for Europe.
Henry has written a very thorough write-up about the making of the film, that can be accessed at this address.
The movie can be seen online, following this link :
http://vimeo.com/19619667
Many thanks again to Henry for his work in bringing the movie back to light.

I mnetioned in my last post that there is a fifth Intercommunal record and this is it. This one is different from the others in that it is geographically concentrated to Bretagne in France which is not unrelated to the fact that Tusques grew up there. The idea is to take the traditional Kan Ha Diskan folk music of the Scrignac-Carhaix region of Bretagne, normally sung in a call and response manner and designed to fit with folk dances. Here it is played on the bombarde, a woodwind instrument which can be likened to an oboe, and the binou kozh which translates as an ancient bagipe. The normal procedure is for the bombarde to call and the binou kozh to respond. Players are known as soners (in Breton) and sonneurs (in French). The sonneurs set the basic rhythmic and melodic parameters, and the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra weaves jazzy-improvisational patterns over and above, drawing on the variegated experience of the Mediterranean countries and the African continent. What comes out of it is hybridisation of folk and jazz, putting the "nouvelle" into tradition, both musically and lyrically. Behind the music, there is as always a political intent which can be gleaned from the lyrics printed inside the cover, reproduced in Catalan, Breton and French.
Basic facts:

I'm going to stick to the folky jazz/jazzy folk-theme for a little while, so stay tuned!
I know it was posted in blog-land already twice but for my money this recording deserves a "flac".
The cover has an already worn out look though the LPs were in fine condition.

From Ilario's collection.
"This LP was issued in limited numbers (probably 450) at the occasion
of an exhibition of Dixon's paintings at the Ferrari Gallery in Verona,Italy.
The LP was accompanied by a serigraph of Dixon and a copy of the
exhibition catalog. Two series were issued:
1. cover: signed, some with a photo of Dixon attached; unsigned serigraph
2. cover: unsigned; signed and numbered serigraph (series of 400)
The "Relay" pieces stem from a work done in collaboration with dancer/
choreographer Judith Dunn that was performed in its entirety at
Bennington College. The instrumentation was el-b, alto-fl, b-cl, 2 tp, plus
spoken word and dancers.
Dixon selected some of the solo pieces to be released on this LP.

Here is Marc Levin's comment to his album "Social Sketches".
(See also this post > http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2009/01/mark-levin-dragon-suitesavoy-new-jazz.html)
Regarding the album Social Sketches, recorded for Enja in the 70's, .... it was made one of several wonderful tours to Finland. The musicians, and what they play are:
Carita Holmström, voice
Seppo Paakkunainen, reeds and flute
Teppo Auta-Aho, contrabass
Reino Laine, drums
These musicians were wonderful. As I remember they were all graduates of the Sibelius Conservatory in Helsinki, (Seppo also studied at Berkley in Boston but their influences from, and knowledge of where the music was from was astounding. They had the elegance and diversity of the American roots, and the fire of the gypsies, well supported by finesse and chops of the classical world.
The record is worth a listen....me too!! The very best, Marc Levin, www.marclevin.net

Ten years after "Man Running" from the duo of Scianni and Izenzon the musical possibilities have become "shoreless" and one of the fruits of this re-/evolution you can hear on "La Musique Blanche".
Au contraire to the titel the music is colourful and is offering a range of moods and emotions.
It was Sotise who made me aware of Michael J. Smith - this post is especially for you.
The LP I got was in a very poor condition. I tried - carefully - to remove the scratches.

As Dan Warburton wrote in a review in The Wire : "Portuguese New Music's best kept secret".
This is an earlier recording from Sei Miguel along Fala Mariam who is his constant partner.
But it is really a group music although fed by the strong and singular vision of Sei Miguel.
A kind of beauty never heard before - more to the fore on his last albums (precious ones) - but already here it has blossomed. It is like a tender alien from the midst of ourselves.
Hopefully this will help to reveal the "secret".

PJ3.01 (1993)
Continuing with the series of L'Intercommunal records, we have now come to vol.3, the remaining one of the four records under that moniker. There is actually a fifth, but we will get to that in due course. This is possibly the most diverse of the four and strongly influenced by the contributions of Spanish vocalist Carlos Andreou. As usual, the emphasis is on urgent political issues of the day, and several of the tracks address political developments in Latin America and on the Iberian peninsula. The crew is more or less the same as on the other L'Intercommunal records; all pieces are recorded live in various locations in France. The music is rough and ready, no studio polish or retakes; this is decidedly not disco or designed for meditative listening on high-graded stereo equipment, but field recordings of gigs in provincial France, far away from the capital. Very much determined by the aspirations of getting closer to les travailleurs and small-town people. Voila!
