Joachim Kuhn-Paris is wonderful 1969-70

And here is Kuhn's second BYG , LP , Much more of a gloriously sprawling, incendiary blowout!
Kudo's to Andy for the super fine rip and prompt request fulfillment ,
 Much Appreciated!

ENJOY!!

Joachim Kuhn-the sound of feelings 1969

For J and Onxi
Trane's spirit hovers gently over this neglected BYG gem, which to my ears is a companion piece to the Outrageously campily eclectic monster psychedellica of  dear professor Leary..


the chemistry's so good , Kuhn , Jenny- Clarke and Romano , seemed to have forged a lasting musical friendship  , resulting in many further collaborations over the years...
Kuhn is still recording prolifically ..take a look

J, sorry we cant help with "Paris is beautiful" i don't think any of us has heard it, and certainly should any of our readers want to share a nice raw syrup free, vinyl rip , we would all be most appreciative ..

. our belief is that the BYG catalog, ought by now to be firmly in the Public Domain given that so few of the artists actually saw a dime from recordings which have by and  large been circulating in so many dubious semi legitimate issues over the decades ..

Yusef Lateef in Europe 1971

To commemorate Yusef Lateef, who died 23. december 2013 at the age of 93, here are three concerts from Europe in 1971. In fact, not only from the same year, but on three consecutive nights! I don't think we have done anything like this on the blog before, so this is a rare opportunity to catch the artist at work over a short, but intense period of time. The first two were in Germany and the last one in the Netherlands. All three were broadcast on radio, taped from there and uploaded to the Dime torrent site.

All solid grooves here and blue notes all around. Nothing to scare the chickens, just persistent, dependable musicianship! To be enjoyed unreservedly!

Narada Burton Greene-The Past is also the Future-1979

Monsieur, Just one more wafer thin slice of.....another wonderfully eclectic piece of the 70's Solo B.Greene , puzzle, the usual mix of bop tunes, free improvisation, compositions , with a little Dadaism thrown in!

Check out "Milestones"and you'll no what i mean.....

We hope in all sincerity that the many Greene albums here will whet your appetite for more recent stuff, Greene also has a Klezmer ensemble , which is a lot of fun!

An interesting ,Paris Transatlantic interview,, 
Some great CD's out, on C.I.M.P , Cadence, and NoBuisness, among others! (incidentally though..the Cimp Cadence , Klompfoot site is still down)

We've always felt Greene got short shrift in shitty coffee table Jazz guides , especially the Penguin Guide to Jazz which in the early editions seemed to dismiss him  almost entirely as uneven at best , or as a mediocrity at worst... Much loved classics like aquariana , only rating a meagre, 2 stars...and nothing much rating above that.

Fuck it , throw those old jazz guides away and lend Greene's genius your  Actuel ears!!

Arthur Blythe-The Grip & Metamorphosis-1977

A little request fulfillment,2 monster live sets by one of the great bands of its day, 

These are among my favorite jazz records period!!!

.

. To my knowledge, both were also issued in Japan by Paddle Wheel , and once on CD combined  in the early 90's..

The Band has a very distinct unique sound, with Bob Stewart and Abdul Wadud  given plenty of space , all the instruments more or less have an equal weight.

in the ensemble passages, there's a lot here that is delightfully  reminiscent of earlier free wheeling New Orleans , collective playing....

Beautiful Stuff .

and btw,Blythe hasn't been well the last couple of years, and you can help him by buying some of his available cds from reputable sources, such as the labels Cadence..Enja or in an out .

Paul Bley & Anette Peacock- Dual Unity 1972

 This one goes out to Brother H, by way of potential inspiration!

A pioneer of the use of Synths in Jazz, along with Sun Ra , Burton Green , and Masahiko Satoh....
Bley made several recordings with Peacock in this lyrical spacey free style, this is very similar territory to the better known , America lp, Improvisie-(AM6121),

More concise, and probably heavily edited from longer live performances , this has the added bonus of featuring more of Annette Peacocks , distinctive voice, seemingly pitched somewhere between , insouciant  bored irony , and heartbroken agony...that voice,so  deceptively sensuous often evokes a certain detached unexpected froideur,  like the abrupt sinking feeling of being sexually rejected, by someone you thought was warmly inviting seduction.... and later perhaps finding out , the said object of desire got off on your humiliation.

Bleys incredible solo on Gargantuan encounter, is a marvel ,threatening to recklessly career out of control and fly off the rails into some bottomless abyss.. hell of a ride,

ripped from a friends well worn copy years ago , its last reissue  on cd was  in Japan ,2 decades ago...
would be great to be able to buy a Bley produced cd of further contemporaneous live material  in this vein!

JOHN CARTER "ECHOES FROM RUDOLPH'S" (IBEDON, 1976+'77)

Recently I had the chance to buy a mint copy of a LP I've never heard about.
After listening to it I thought to share it with you - hope you don't mind my helpless efforts to make a picture from the front. My scanner won't work and the winter-light in Germany doesn't really help.
So you have the cover including the flash - which I tried to dim out with my finger...
Not at least this recording shows again the mastery of John Carter - recommended listening.

LOUiS MOHOLO-MOHOLO - London Jazz Festival 2010

This was drummer's 70th Birthday Special concert at LJF 2010 in two sets. First set reunited Louis with Keith Tippett under the title of their 1982 FMP album No Gossip, second set presented him with special version of his Unit. I recorded the broadcast off the BBC i-player and kept the whole sequence with announcements and interview, given in the afternoon before the concert. For various reasons it took me almost 3 years to prepare it for posting, so at last here it is. All the best in 2014 to all.

The sound quality of this recording is considered too poor to become an Incus release, but Derek's partner Karen has kindly given her blessing for this piece of history to be shared and enjoyed for what it is.
