recordings coming from rehearsal done in Brooklyn in 2007

cdr published by homeboy music, no reference

Almost at the same time the french label « improvising Being » published a superbe cd of the Joe Rigby Quartet, now the label have stopped but perhaps the owner of the label still has some copies, if you are interested you can try to get in touch here

http://www.improvising-beings.com/#ib05 

be aware that I’m not talking about the cdr presented here but about another session that I recommend

Regarding Homeboy music, it was a tiny label who published less than 5 titles, including the full session of Norman Howard & Joe Phillips originally recorded for esp but not issued at the time, lately ESP reissued it partially on cd

HERBERT JOOS & BERND KONRAD "SDR COMMISSIONS, 1978"

Here's a bit for Xmass - but please do not 'open' before tomorrow ;-)
"Farbspiele" is "colour play" in English whereas "Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen" means "second try to hide the truth from the dream". ("verschweigen" means "to keep/remain silent")



Laureen Newton, voice
Herbert Joos, flugelhorn
Bernd Konrad, soprano & baritone saxophone, bass clarinet
Wolfgang Czelusta, trombone
Jürgen Wuchner, bass
Thomas Cremer, drums
Herbert Försch, percussion
Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra

Farbspiele for Jazz Group + Orchestra
1. Farbspiele 1 (Joos)  7:46
2. Farbspiele 2 (Konrad)  14:18

Laureen Newton, voice
Herbert Joos, flugelhorn
Bernd Konrad, soprano & baritone saxophone, bass clarinet
Erwin Lehn Orchestra

3. Divana (Joos)  10:15
4. Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen (Konrad) 10:31

Performed live in 1978

All tracks are compositions ordered by the Süddeutsche Rundfunk to feature Joos and Konrad as composers and to give them the opportunity to perform with larger ensembles.
- on tracks 1 + 2 the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and on tracks 3 + 4 the Erwin Lehn Orchestra, (which was the SDR's radio jazz orchestra at that time and included a lot of brilliant jazz musicians) - therefore they were also able to perform (besides their usual radio entertainment music business) in more avantgardistic contexts.

JANI CHRISTOU "LATE WORKS" (COLUMBIA, 1974)

Jani Christou was born at Heliopolis, N.E. of Cairo on January 9th, 1926, of Greek parents. He was educated at the English School in Alexandria, and began composing at an early age. In 1945 he travelled to England to study formal logic and philosophy at Kingās College, Cambridge under Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell (he attained an MA in philosophy in 1948). At the same time he studied music privately with H. F. Redlich, the distinguished musicologist and pupil of Alban Berg, and in 1949 travelled to Rome to study orchestration with F. Lavagnino. He also travelled widely in Europe, culminating for a short period in Zurich, where he met and attended lectures in psychology with Carl Jung....

Sadly the website dedicated to Jani Christou does not exist anymore.
But for  those who want to know more the 'web-archive' has kept the website from complete oblivion.
 https://web.archive.org/web/20170911204438/http://www.janichristou.com/


Bought this LP while on vacation with my family in Greece. Strolling through Athens I discovered a vinyl shop. While browsing through the inventory I didn't find anything which sparked me.
Then I asked for Xenakis, Christou...and here it was behind the cashier - albeit quite expensive.
I already wanted to turn away when surprisingly my family urged me three times to buy this LP.
Astonished and a bit perplexed I obeyed to their wish. It turned out that it was and still is to my own best.

Soft Mountain - Soft Mountain - Hux Records 2003

After leaving Soft Machine, Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper tried to recreate groups in the same spirit like Soft Head or Soft Heap. All of these groups were interesting but none of them managed to reach the level of energy and creativity of Soft Machine Third. When I first listened to Soft Mountain I immediately felt that the energy of this band and its power was clearly close to the great era of Soft Machine even though the music is different. Tatsuya Yoshida and Hugh Hopper are particularly impressive during this powerful session.
