RARE COMPOSITIONS I (1960 - 1994)

With this post I've assembled some rarer compositions by mostly quite famous 20th century composers'.
With 'rare' I mean pieces not readily available and OOP - culled from CD compilations - in this case from two releases.

The title by Grisey is taken from a CD dedicated to the conductor Sylvain Campreling which I've bought only because of my excitement upon discovering this to me unknown (and recorded) piece by him.

All other music was previously released on a five CD box-set which celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the 'Holland Festival'. At least two or three of these pieces were issued on vinyl before the box-set was available.

Vivier's composition "Glaubst du an die Unsterblichkeit der Seele" (Do you believe in the immortality of the soul?) was his last composition, though not completed as he was murdered before he could finish it.
His killer was a male prostitute Vivier had met in a bar earlier that evening. On the worktable was the manuscript of Vivier's final, uncompleted work, "Crois-tu en l‘immortalité de l‘âme?", a dramatised monologue in which Vivier describes a journey on the metro during which he becomes attracted to a young man. The music breaks off abruptly following the line: "Then he removed a dagger from his jacket and stabbed me through the heart." (On a personal note I would like to add that I didn't know this backgroud mentioned above upon first hearing. The impact of this composition wasn't diminished by my ignorance.)

"Sara Dolce Tacere" by Nono was - to my knowledge - released for the first time on a Wergo 7" sometime during the 1960s.

Xenakis' "Anemoessa" has been recorded and released - a.f.a.i.k. - only once on a commercial recording.

 At least "Calmo" and "Composition No.3" have been and still are available in various interpretations.

PIERRE FAVRE QUARTETT "PIERRE FAVRE QUARTETT" (WERGO, 1969)

Have the LP since several years. Plus I got a rip from a friend years before I found the vinyl.
The sound of the rip seemed to be really OK. But it had a lot of nasty scratches which caused many clicks and some pops. Tried to remove as many as possible. (cover from the www)

Especially great to my recent listening experience is the bass of PK - but it is all along a classic.
 All four musicians still young and at the beginning of their considerable musical achievements.

COMPANY "BBC STUDIOS, MAY 1983"

While preparing this post I got confused a bit. Got this with a text file which states 11 items but my version has 12. The point of consideration are tracks 5 and 6. The list coming with the CD-r I've got years ago says there's only tr. 5 ( EP-HD-JL). But the folder contained also tr. 6 (EP-JL).
Maybe the performance of the trio was split into two separate tracks? And I cannot hear Hugh Davies on track 6. So it seems the way it is offered here might be accurate enough. Maybe someone can shed some light on this...Andy?

I left the short announcements which are obviously truncated - but better some meagre crumps of hopefully reliable information than none at all.
Interestingly this recording is not mentioned in Ben Watson's book on Derek Bailey, although it has a particular chapter on Company concerts and recordings.
There is an official Company recording from the I.C.A., London, 24-28 May 1983, which is also the only Company never reissued.


But the music is great and IMO that's what is important.

MIHO KEI & JAZZ ELEVEN "KOKEZARU KUMIKYOKU" (MCA, 1971)

Here's what mvns about this LP: "Arranged and composed by Keitaro Miho (he didn't perform in this album), this is a spiritual adventure to a world where traditional Japanese music clashes and melts with contemporary jazz improvisations. The result is a monster of an album, with soaring vocals, searing saxophone and shakuhachi solos, mad electric piano action, uplifting koto strummings, as well as grooves so hard it feels you got punched in the gut."

Phalanx "Aka" George Adams & James Blood Ulmer Quartet - Live In Bremen 1986

While I was checking the discography of Phalanx in preparation of this post I was surprised to learn that obviously this concert have been partially published by James « Blood » Ulmer himself on his own label: American Revelation Music Inc. The only reference about this can be found on discogs:

https://www.discogs.com/fr/Phalanx-Phalanx-Live/release/7629031

But there is no copy for sale on discogs and I searched on the others most famous places where music can be bought and this cd doesn’t even appears. To have searched years ago some references of American Revelation Music, I know that this label have no distribution except by James « Blod » himself, also everything he publish is in a very limited numbers. So if this cd have existed it might be gone for good and very hard to find now. This is the first reason why I have decided to do this post, the second reason is the fact that on the cd, only a part of the concert have been published and the order of the tracks has been changed, here we have the full concert with the correct track order.

SHELLEY HIRSCH "SINGING" (APOLLO, 1985-87)

I grew up in an apartment building in East New York, Brooklyn.
I remember my father coming home after a long day of manual labor, putting records on the turntable, and creating enchantment. I remember capturing a piece of a remembered song that we danced to, and singing it in the reverberant hallways. I was fascinated by how the sound transformed as I moved through different locations in the building and out onto the street, recycling narratives while collecting sonic and visual images along the way.
My work today, conjuring locations, landscapes, personas, finding language, streaming consciousness, forming stories—is an extension of these childhood investigations, which I channel through my compositions, improvised vocal performances, staged multimedia and site-specific pieces, narrative radio plays, and sound installations. The work reverberates in real and imagined places inside and outside of the body which is my recorder, and the storage house of memory.

VARIOUS "AFRICA KARA AFRICA / GENBAKU SHOUKEI = アフリカからアフリカへ / 原爆小景" (HEm, 1974)

Here is some info by our donator mvns about this LP: "...It's part 10 of 11 educational LPs meant to accompany an elementary school-level music textbook. Side A contains a sidelong track composed by Masahiko Satoh that depicts a journey through the history of jazz. It features a lot of J-jazz heavyweights. Side B is an unsettling choral work by the renowned Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus about the nuclear bomb."

Akira Miyazawa (saxophone)

Norio Maeda (piano)

Masanaga Harada (bass)

David Murray and friends at WXPN, Philadelphia, August 1975

David Murray & Friends   

WXPN FM Studio 

Philadelphia PA  

Aug 21 1975

David Murray - tenor sax

Sunny Murray - drums

Khan Jamal - vibraphone

Monnette Sudler - e.guitar

Sonny Johnson - bass

One for Wallofsound, this one, I would think. Following on from my earlier post of Sunny Murray at Studio Rivbea, this is from approximately two months later at a radio station in Philadelphia. The line-up retains the Murrays and Monnette Sudler from the earlier recording, but adds interestingly Khan Jamal on vibes and Sonny Johnson on bass.

Six tunes, all untitled according to the info file accompanying this set. Not really a free jam, as it is described, but rather well-structured tunes, imho. And quite melodic, too.

More to come!

HOHLA - BIEREDER "DOPPELT DOPPELT" (FISCHRECORDS, 1931-33)

Here we have music which contains traditional tunes and yodeling from Austria.
Not from professional musicians but from a landlady and her brother. Nowotny was a teacher who helped the siblings to find a record company and participated here with his singing on a few tracks.
Sometimes it sounds like it was recorded somwhere in Central Asia - at least a bit.
