Shockabilly- "Normal", Illinois, April 6 1985 AUD



Purportedly one of the last shows by Shockabilly the original and best psychedelic Post punk band..

LSD Country and Western was the first Chadbourne thing i ever bought when it came out , still a great chewy listen! , and what a fine introduction to the likes of Tom Cora and T.Kondo...

This is a hugely atmospheric tape recording, complete with drop outs ,bleed through and minor distortions ... lots of near chaotic frenzied improv ( Electric Rake ,heavily featured!) between typical deconstructions of classic 60's Songs..beautiful stuff!

I've retained the original seeders info file... he seems to find Eugene's Politics funny , perhaps dated and somewhat embarrassing ...., Fuck him ...Chadbourne's Politics are more relevant than ever!!
Chadbourne is selling some live Shockabilly shows, and i think the original albums are mostly reissued by Shimmy Disc Kramer's label ,now back in business!

Jaki Byard Trio-Live at the Jazz Inn, (Futura, LP, Ger 29, 1971)


' Small contribution to the OP Futura thread ...

Here's a Lesser Known record by the great Jaki Byard , too often unjustly remembered Solely as a Mingus side Man.
his Tenure with Mingus was relatively Short , theres a lot more to him than that, he was one of the most interesting 'Mainstream 'jazz pianists of his day!

Byard's string of eclectic adventurous records for Prestige in the 60's are magnificent, as is his later post 70's oeuvre , for labels as diverse as Muse, Concord ,Soul Note,and Leo...

He also plays Alto sax on 3 tracks here, astoundingly playing Fractured Tayloresque runs on Piano ,and  simultaneously scrabbly  Japan in a dishpan like Alto on the 'Garnering ,a bit Free Suite for Paris'..

Byards was a masterfully executed flawlessly inventive Technique which effectively synthesizes, Stride, Earl Hines ,so called Trumpet Style, Bud Powell and Free Jazz.

 Byard Also loved Piano duets, recording great ones with Howard Riley, Earl Hines, and Ran Blake....and Tommy Flanagan(see comments)
He  recorded a solo album for Futura , 'Parisian Solos'which has been reissued and can be found here its great!

Enjoy!

TRIO RICOCHET "BROOKLYN, FEBRUARY 2006"




Nobu Stowe (須藤伸義 = Nobuyoshi Suto, Ph.D.) was born in Maebashi, Gumma, Japan. He started taking piano lessons at age 3 and composition at age 6.  Stowe moved to the US to study Music (composition) and Psychology at University of California, at Berkeley.  He then moved to Chicago to pursue graduate studies at University of Chicago.  After receiving the doctorate degree in Psychology, he moved to Baltimore for post-doctoral training at National Institute of Health.  In Baltimore, Stowe formed the post-fusion unit TRIO RICOCHET and performed at top venues, including Blue Note N.Y., The Knitting Factory, and Smithonian Institute.  In addition to his composition-based piano trio, Stowe has lead/co-lead various projects exploring ‘total-improvisation’ (a la Keith Jarrett) collaborating with Perry Robinson, Badal Roy, Andrea Centazzo, Dave Ballou, Lisle Ellise, Brian Groder et al.  He recently formed a new trio with the Italian multireedist Achille Succi and the drum legend Barry Altschul.  Stowe has been featured/interviewed internationally on All About Jazz (USA), Jazz Review.com (USA), Coda Magazine (Canada), All About Jazz Italia (Italy), Jazz Colo(u)rs (Italy), Cuadernos de Jazz (Spain), Toma Jazz (Spain), Impro Jazz (France), Citizen Jazz (France), Bitaites (Portugal), Jazz & Tzaz (Greece), El Intruso (Argentina), and Jazz Tokyo (Japan).  Stowe regularly contributes columns and interviews (including ones with Keith Jarrett, Michel Legrand, Gary Peacock, Paul Bley, Bill Frisell, Martial Solal, Marilyn Crispell, and Chico Hamilton) for Jazz Tokyo (www.jazztokyo.com).  Stowe is the contributing author of "ECM カタログ” – the first ever complete catalogue of ECM Records (1969-2010) with full color album covers just published in Japan.  He recently moved to San Diego and currently conducts scientific research at The Scripps Research Institute.

 ....
Already in May I got a mail from Nobu Stowe who offered me a dozen of his recordings for sharing here at Inconstant Sol.

They are meant as an appreciation for our ongoing efforts ;) in making available rare recordings which are OOP or where never (not yet?) released.

During the following weeks I shall upload his generous gifts. You will be able to listen to not yet released music and also to several issued ones.

More information on Nobu Stowe you'll find here and another interview from 2008.
I shall begin with a music which is not commercially available.

Thank you Nobu!
