David Bond Trio - Odyssey (Vineyard 1980)
David Bond has been on the jazz scene since the late 1970's, performing in New York, Boston, New England and Europe with jazz heavyweights such as Archie Shepp, Dewey Redman, and Sonny Fortune. Mr. Bond has recorded several albums with the likes of Bob Moses, Marion Brown, and Dennis Charles. He has performed in famous venues such as Lincoln Center and in numerous concert series including the Annual Black Musicians Conference and summer concerts at the Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston. http://musicians.allaboutjazz.com/davidbond

Richard Davis trio-Feat Joe Beck& Jack Dejohnette- Song for wounded Knee 1973
Richard Davis what can one say!.. his records under his own name are so undervalued.. most of them are out of print...
This is a passionate testament to the trio's heartfelt political activism, something considered corny and passé in todays largely arid musical landscape... evermore relevant though in a world that is arguably geopolitically worse off than it was in 73.
Its a world where bread and circuses take on a whole other dimension, the illusion of personal freedom indistinguishable from and so frequently confused with the sphere of personal consumption.
I've always loved the more abstract side of Davis's musical sensibility amply displayed here in a set
of glowing largely improvised pieces..on the opening Blues" Song for Wounded knee" , Davis uses the melody to blue Monk.. but the rest is pretty free.. Davis's arco is evident throughout.. some passages on 'America the beautiful "or "Agnewstic"wouldn't be out of place in a chamber piece by Helmut Lachenmann...
staggering.. gorgeous!
enjoy!
ps.. this may have been partially inspired by the great book "Bury my heart at Wounded Knee"which came out around that time

Ray Russell-Dragon Hill-1970
Ray Russell, a british Guitarist who despite having a jazz background,much like his contemporary Chris Spedding say, seems to have spent a lot of his professional life in the studios,
making library records for TV, and Films as well as playing on dozens of well known rock albums by Phil Spector, Art Garfunkel, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick and countless others.
.He was also notably in Harry Beckett's Sound of Joy and similar fusion projects in the mid 70's.
This though is an exploratory at times quite free set of sophisticated extended post bop compositions , flavoured by touches of RnB, and Rock.
Russell's an interesting thoughtful player who's playing here is fluid,inventive even ecstatic!.yeah very beautiful sitting to these ears somewhere between 60's john Mclaughlin and Sonny sharrock's
'Tauhid" period, and just as interesting..
relistening again after many years... one hears a strong stylistic connection to early Soft Machine,as well as Jack Bruce Elton Dean and Keith Tippett's contemporaneous free inflected Fusion albums...
heres a link to his website
and discogs entry
be nice to know more about some of the other players here, of whom really only Ron Mathewson, Harry Beckett, and Lyn Dobson are familiar names..
This record has to my knowledge, yet to be reissued , though the even better "Rituels" from 1971 posted here by boromir in 2008 , has been, as has live at the ICA on RCA also from 71
Righteous RAY!!

Roswell Rudd-Inside Job 1976
As promised here's Roswell Rudd's Inside job, overall I think a pretty fine , and Somewhat undervalued record ..which has to my knowledge never seen a cd reissue!
A nice live set recorded at Studio Rivbea, on the 21st of May 1976... Rudd and Rava always sounded great together
And BTW/for newbies who may not have heard it the masterly eponymously titled" Enrico Rava Quartet"
on ECM is very special and highly recommended!

UN-RELEASED RECORDINGS 1960 - 1985 (no music...)
Three weeks ago I bought the book "Free Jazz And Improvisation On Vinyl 1965 - 1985".
I was a bit disappointed but as an 'addict' I enjoyed it notwithstanding its shortcomings and mistakes.
And the 'mistakes' prompted the idea to collect all known information about never released LPs (or cassettes et.al.).
In the book there's a section about Po Torch Records - Paul Lovens' label.
An insert which was included in some of the releases (e.g. Rutherford-Lovens JWD/PTR 3) had an announcement for six (two in the book) LPs which never made it onto the turntable...
I would like to suggest that we confine ourselves to the period from 1960 to 1985.
Maybe we should - at least for a start - list only items which are related to Free Jazz.
Items which are circulating as bootlegs of these elusive sound carriers are welcome as well - we are looking for NIP (never in print) issues which would/could/should have been official releases.
As much information as available would be nice: line-up, title, recording-date, track-titles, label etc. - maybe we can collect some data for a discography solely made of recordings which were never edited.
Here are the first few un-released recordings..........

KENNY WHEELER R.I.P.
Thanks to those of you who have contributed to Kenny's welfare at this difficult time. Here's an update from the Ottawa Citizen.
Sadly this bulletin has been superceded by this one.
As Sergio rightly says below, Kenny Wheeler was a true GIANT.
There are not many jazz musicians who have a foot in the freely improvised side of things and also compose and play some of the most beautiful and ravishing music in jazz, in anywhere.
Condolences to his family, friends and all his fellow musicians.
Thanks Kenny. You gave a lot and left a lot. Beautiful.
