About Audio Letter:
The Past... In 1979, long before Seattle was known for Cobain and Cornell, vocalist/violinist Sharon Gannon and guitarist Sue Ann Harkey formed, as Gannon describes it, "a stream-of-consciousness experiment" which they dubbed Audio Letter. Although other musicians would drift in and out of their orbit, the duo remained a constant as their experimental nature allowed Gannon to incorporate her interests in alchemy, meditation, and Eastern philosophy into their work.

Relocating to New York in 1983, Gannon and Harkey became fixtures in the downtown experimental and world music scene, finding fellow musicians such as John Zorn, Fred Firth and Ikue More to be kindred spirits. Audio Letter's wholly improvised gigs in East Village venues like Life Cafe and 8BC attracted a growing number of fans including legendary jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, drummer Denis Charles, and artist/musician David Life. Collaborations with Cherry, Charles, and Life resulted in It Is This, It Is Not This, Audio Letter's first album, released in 1987.

The album garnered enthusiastic critical acclaim in the underground music world exemplified by future Rolling Stone critic Ann Powers who, then writing for The Rocket, described it as a "philosophical and musical stew different than any other aural communication in Seattle." However, the world had not yet awakened from the Reagan years and Audio Letter disbanded in 1988. Gannon and Harkey simply waited for the times to catch up to them

Barbican Foyer, London.  8th May 1995  afternoon

May Bank Holiday in 1995 was moved to the second Monday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.  So that's why it felt like a Sunday.  It was a mini jazz fest, I think, in the foyer of the Barbican.  Mujician were just one of several bands playing.  So there were loads of people who'd come out, sitting on the floor, kids running round.  I managed to hunker down near the piano and got this amazing cassette recording.  Enjoy.

John Zorn & Pierre Boulez ~ String Quartets ~ Jack Quartet ~ Cernier; 24th August 2015


I wasn't familiar with John Zorn's string quartets before listening to this recording, but on the strength of this, I'll be looking for more. The Remedy of Fortune is the strongest piece, and contains multiple quotes from other quartets I know and play, including the Beethoven's Grosse Fuge.

This concert also includes performances of both the early and late versions of Boulez's Livre pour Quatuor; beautiful serial works that condense an entire narrative into small gestures.

Horațiu Rădulescu ~~ String quartet no. 4 ~~ Asasello Quartet; Cologne, 3rd May 2016


Rădulescu's fourth quartet is one of the more radical spectral pieces; it's for nine string quartets, one of which plays live, with the remaining quartets played back from recordings from different locations in the hall. The idea is to explore the harmonic spectrum, and to allow the audience to experience new spectra as the sounds criss-cross, interact and interfere.

The extent to which this is achieved is debatable, but a performance is undoubtedly an enthralling experience. A recording can only hint at this, but here is a recording from Colognes' Acht Brücken festival by the Asasello Quartet, from earlier this month.

Horațiu Rădulescu:

infinite to be cannot be infinite, infinite anti-be could be infinite (infinit a fi nu poate fi infinit) op. 33 (1976; rev. 1987) - fourth string quartet for nine string quartets

It was recorded the same year as the Blue Notes (in Antibes) after they left South Africa.

 Which may not have a whole lot to do with this recording but it seemed like a good place to start....

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.

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



David Murray, tenor saxophone
- Lydian Sound Orchestra, conducted and arranged by Riccardo Brazzale
Robert Bonisolo, soprano and tenor saxophones
Mattia Cigalini, alto saxophone
Rossano Emili, baritone sax and clarinets
Gianluca Carollo, trumpet and flugelhorn
Roberto Rossi, trombone
Dario Duso, tuba
Paolo Birro, pianoforte
Marc Abrams, bass
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.

(00-radio introduction by Pino Saulo)
01- the Mooche
02- Caravan
03- Sophisticated Lady
04- band intros
05- un Capanno di Montagna in Mezzo al Mare [Riccardo Brazzale]

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.
