Heavenly Sweetness Festival Florian Pellissier Quintet (Jazz) + Cotonete + Special Guest JAZZLIVE mardi 5 avril 2016 mp2




Florian Pellissier en direct du New Morning
Un pied dans le New York du début des 60’s, l’autre résolument ancré
dans la scène jazz parisienne actuelle…Voilà pour l’esprit qui anime le Florian Pellissier Quintet, un groupe actif depuis 11 ans et qui présentera ce soir son troisième album, "Cap de Bonne Esperance"  au New Morning...Un concert à suivre en simultané dans Jazzlive

05/04/2016
Pianiste hyper-actif qu'on retrouve avec des projets aussi variés que Setanta, Guts, Camarao ou Leron Thomas, Florian Pellissier revient avec le projet qui lui tient à cœur, son quintet de jazz.
Après le succès critique de son deuxième album « Biches bleues», Florian Pellissier a décidé d'enchainer rapidement avec un nouvel opus. L'équipe de haut vol n'a pas changé, mais le style s'est affirmé, et ce « cap de Bonne esperance » devrait un peu plus imposer Florian Pellissier sur la scène jazz française.
== Line up ==
Florian Pellissier (Piano), Yoni Zelnik (Contrebasse), David Georgelet (Batterie), Christophe Panzani (Saxophone), Yoann Loustalot (Trompette)

BROTZMANN, TiPPETT, MiLLER, KELLERS - München 1983


This wonderful document of unrecorded (as far as I know) quartet was shared on DIME by Owombat back in 2009, and later probably here in Contributions section, or maybe somewhere else. I did kind of remastering and spliced together original three parts of each set, as they were continuous performancces. It took four stages of equalization to make sound somehow balanced, although saxophone is still loudest instrument. Enjoy.

Art Ensemble of Chicago live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1990



Here's one I keep coming back to regularly. Beautifully recorded by Dutch radio, this is an excerpt of their performance at the NSJF in Scheweningen in 1990. I went to see them in 1987 and I recall they were playing up on the roof of the main concert building in Scheweningen which is just outside The Hague. I'm not sure whether this is the first set or whether it is a cut and paste of their full performance. There is a longer audience tape of the full one, but of lower audio quality. So I'm sticking with this one instead, even if shorter.

We get to hear first the serene "Prayer for Jimbo Kwesi" which was out on "The Third Decade" album. Then follows an improvisational passage, featuring Roscoe Mitchell among other exciting happenings, and after that it segues into the stately "Song for Atala" which was on their "Dreaming of the Masters", showing that the AEC can play 'em as straight as anybody. The info file that came with this set lists more than what you actually get to hear here.

The line-up is the usual quintet which you can see above. So what else to say but enjoy the company of the masters! Just possibly my fave ensemble of all and anytime!

Jazz na Fábrica - Anthony Braxton Quartet & Roscoe Mitchell



I was in Brazil for a few weeks recently, and came across these two live recordings of the Anthony Braxton Quartet (from 2014) and Roscoe Mitchell solo (from 2013), from the Ao Vivo Jazz na Fabrica  festival in Sao Paulo.

They're both excellent, and show both musicians at the top of their game, so I can strongly recommend buying these. No rips here, obviously, but there are some samples on the SESC web page, here.

Hugues Dufourt ~ Apollon et les continents ~ Witten, 23rd April, 2016


From this year's Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik, this is one of the more impressive pieces, inspired by the enormous fresco of 'Apollo and the Continents' in Würzburg by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.

The first two pieces - Africa and Asia - show Dufourt's spectral background, and could be described as music for large spaces, or installations. The last two - Europe and America - are much more energetic and remind me at times of the large group pieces by Braxton - hence the post here. The recording from WDR3 is fine, although the announcer did decide to talk over the first few seconds of 'America'.

FRED FRITH & TRIO LOST FREQUENCY Bellinzona, Teatro Sociale Sabato 16 aprile 2016 mp2

 




Fred Frith chitarre
Mina Fred viola e voce
Benjamin Brodbeck percussioni
Giancarlo Nicolai laudes e oggetti sonori
Una collaborazione Teatro Sociale Bellinzona - Associazione AMIT - RSI Rete Due
Nell’ambito di Fred Frith a Bellinzona, 16-17 aprile 2016
Diretta radiofonica su RSI Rete Due
Il 17 aprile, nella stessa sede (ore 17.00), concerto finale del workshop Fred Frith e l’Orchestra del Caso
Il compositore, improvvisatore e polistrumentista inglese Fred Frith è una delle più importanti personalità della musica improvvisata e del rock progressivo. Deve la sua celebrità alla rivoluzione che portò nel modo di suonare la chitarra elettrica a partire dal 1974 con i suoi soli. È stato autore e improvvisatore in diversi gruppi rock quali Henry Cow e facendo musica in studio di registrazione. Ha composto molti temi per spettacoli di danza e per film, e ha collaborato fra gli altri con Brian Eno, John Zorn, Ensemble Modern, Hieronymus Firebrain, Arditti Quartet, Robert Wyatt, Bang on a Can All Stars, Concerto Köln e Rova Sax Quartet.
Frith insegna improvvisazione libera al Mills College di Oakland, California e alla Musik Akademie di Basilea. A lui è dedicato il celebre documentario Step Across the Border di Nicolas Humbert e Werner Penzel. Dopo l’ultima apparizione in Ticino con il suo più recente gruppo rock, Cosa Brava, Fred Frith torna dalle nostre parti, a Bellinzona in particolare, per due diversi concerti al Teatro Sociale. Il primo sabato 16 aprile (ore 20.45) con il Trio Lost Frequency, nato nel 2013 alla Musik Akademie di Basilea, che propone una originale musica da camera contemporanea. Il giorno seguente invece suonerà con l’Orchestra del Caso, ensemble che nasce da un workshop in cui i partecipanti si familiarizzano con i segni grafici e gestuali utilizzati da Frith nella creazione del corpo sonoro.

Charles Mingus Sextet in Oslo 1964




















The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) is in the process of digitising its huge archive of programmes dating back several decades. Among the items to be uncovered is this gem which should be of huge interest to jazz enthusiasts.

It is the Charles Mingus Sextet recorded at the University hall at the University of Oslo on 12 April 1964. A very classic Mingus line-up on this date:

Charles MINGUS, bass,
Eric DOLPHY, alto sax,
Clifford JORDAN, tenor sax,
Johnny COLES, trumpet,
Jaki BYARD, piano
Dannie RICHMOND, drums

The tunes:

1. Goodbye, Eric Dolphy, hurry back
2. Orange was the Colour of her Dress, then Blue Silk
3. Ow/Parkeriana
4. Take the A train

Altogether close to one hour of music and it is a particular delight to see Eric Dolphy in action!

More items to come from this archive as I find them!

TORINO JAZZ FESTIVAL 2015 David Murray & Lydian Sound Orchestra - Omaggio a Duke Ellington e Billy Strayhorn recorded at Teatro Carignano, Torino, Italy, on monday 1 June 2015 FLAC FM

Mauro Beggio, drums

this would be better credited the other way round, meaning Lydian Sound Orchestra WITH David Murray, but that is how got officially billed, so... it is anyhow saxophone giant Murray paying tribute to the Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn partnership, and it's somehow predictable and occasionally brilliant... arrangements are more or less divided among Murray and orchestra leader Brazzale, and one track dedicated to deceased Marco Tamburini was also included in this programme.  Also included in this folder as track00 a LONG introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 10'42, you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

ELTON DEAN'S NINESENSE - Basel, Theaterwerkstatt Stadttheater, 24 Juni 1979



This comes from DIME and I have it for several years. I know some of you have it too. Ninesense are septet here, without Alan Skidmore and Harry Beckett, thus plenty of space for others' soloing. Sound is pretty good, although I was fancy to do a remastering during the years... Strong bass, very clear piano. I was not able to do full playlist, even with the help of some of you. It was also released as bootleg named "Feel", but I never saw it actually, except cover pic on the web.

Charles Austin, Roy Babbington, Joe Gallivan - Home from Home



Charles Austin Roy Babbington Joe Gallivan - Home from Home
Ogun OG 522 (1979)

Due to a request from Miloš, here is a trio recording from 1977, released on the Ogun label in 1979. This is a set of quiet, emphathetic sketches, most of them fairly short, at least by jazz standards. Chamber jazz might be a word to describe what we hear on this record. Not the stuff to leap at you, but to grow insidiousaly after repeated listenings. Quite a fine little gem, in my humble opinion. Nice flute playing with an oriental touch, sinuous electric bass to the fore and there is even a synth creeping in on several tracks.

Charles Austin and Joe Gallivan have cooperated a lot over the years and both are active up to the present date. Austin is a resident of New Orleans and devoting more time to teaching than to playing in later years. Gallivan played with several stalwarts on the UK jazz scene while living in the UK for some years in the 70s, but also made a memorable album with Larry Young, well worth seeking out. Babbington was associated with the Canterbury scene in the 70s, playing in one version of Soft Machine, but also with Elton Dean and Keith Tippett and later with Barbara Thompson.

Dreamtime live at the Red Rose, London, 2001


Here's another one of "psykies'" offerings, recorded by BBC Radio 3's "Jazz on Three" in 2001. Dreamtime was originally a trio, dating back to the early 1980s. From their web site:

Dreamtime began in London in 1982 when Nick Evans, Gary Curson and Jim Le Baigue met in a friend's basement in order to 'work out'. The raw intensity of the trio's improvisations, together with the haunting themes borne out of the interaction between the three musicians' differing styles demanded that a working band be formed and the trio became a quintet with the addition of trumpet player Jim Dvorak and bass player Roberto Bellatalla. As a quintet Dreamtime recorded the album Bunny Up in 1983 for Affinity Records. The quintet maintained a weekly residency at a London club and rapidly expanded its repertoire before augmenting to a sextet with the addition of pianist Keith Tippett. 

Few bands confound the stereotyped expectations aroused by the words 'free improvisation' as thoroughly as Dreamtime. Most radically, they utilise structure to a far greater extent than might be expected from musicians with their track records; they also draw freely on an extraordinary diversity of traditions, from Tibetan and Native American chants to African and Chinese music. But, perhaps most importantly, they surprise those who expect improvised music to be sternly esoteric and inaccessible by imbuing everything they play with a highly affecting brand of fierce joy—Chris Parker, The Times

 I can only subscribe to what's said above. They also have a cd out, Zed Fish, and from what I can gather, is still an ongoing proposition. They played the Vortex in August 2014 with a slightly different line-up from what you can hear here.  By the way, a visit to London is not complete unless you have checked into the Vortex or Cafe Oto, which is within walking distance, both in the Dalston area of East London. I can vouch for the place, friendly hosts, nice clientele and some fine locally made beer. The Red Rose in Finsbury Park is, alas, no more.

Les facts:

01. Careful Driver [7:56]
02. Traumatic Experience [9:05]
03. Loopin’ [6:38]
04. Trunk Call [7:00]
05. And So Tibet [6:15]
06. Zen Fish [4:49]
07. Pygmy Strut [7:17]
08. Call The Devil [9:23]

Jim Dvorak - trumpet
Nick Evans - trombone
Gary Curson - saxophone
Keith Tippett - piano
Roberto Bellatalla - bass
Jim Le Baigue - drums


Introduction is by Jez Nelson. On a small note, there is another rendition here of "Traumatic Experience", a Harry Miller tune, which you can also hear played by the Dedication Orchestra, posted here a little while ago.

As always, enjoy!

NOTES
Recorded by me off air direct from the original live broadcast to a Panasonic Hi-Fi VHS video recorder in SP audio only mode. Sometime in the mid to late 1990's I misguidedly transferred all my radio recordings to VHS LP audio mode. This combined with the age of the tapes has resulted in some evident distortion throughout.

"DEK- featuring Didi Kern (drums), Elisabeth Harnik (piano), and Ken Vandermark (reeds)- is a trio that creates music which displays the impact that improvisation, new composition, and the genres of rock, funk, and afrobeat have on each other. First established in September of 2014, the group has worked together on a regular basis in Europe, and will release their first album on the Trost label in 2016; a year which will feature performances by the band in New York City during Vandermark's Stone residency during January, in Milwaukee as part of the Option Milwaukee series, and during an extensive tour of Europe in October."
