ELTON DEAN'S NiNESENSE - Bracknell Jazz Festival 1978

I got this audience recording in trade from many years ago and I shared it previously in comments to some other Ninesense recording here. Recently I gave it a listen and found it wholly enjoyable and great preformance, thus I tried some equalisation from original mp3@320. In the end it is improvement I think. Setlist is similiar to 100 Club Concert from 1979. Track 5 (including 11 min of great improv) has significantly clearer sound without audience noises (which are quietly enjoyable during quiet passages earlier) and due to possible speaker entry in the fade out, it can come from some broadcast (possibly) from different concert, but I got it together with this Bracknell recording).

WMWM - Live At The BBC 1973

The year 1973 was decisive in Robert Wyatt’s career, more and more attracted by the vocal and taking a distance with the more experimental aspect of the prog, he was already thinking about a solo career when the accident of June 1st which will let him paraplegic rush things. However it is during the first semester of this same year that WMWM was born whose music is exclusively improvised and almost totally instrumental. Apparently this group sounds like a contradiction to the trajectory that Wyatt's career already seemed to take, but in fact we must understand this group as a sort of carelessness, as some moments of the prog have been some years before. If the accident of Robert Wyatt marks the end of an era, the last act of a period of recklessness that will this time have tragic consequences, this accident is probably not the cause of the short existence of this group. Without the fatal date of June 1, WMWM was in any case not promised to have a future as the musical differences seem obvious, especially between Gary Windo and Dave McRae. Yet it's with both that Wyatt wanted to play and this is what makes the group's interest: Windo crazy and uncontrollable, Mc Rae significantly more structured and reinforced in this posture by Ron Mathewson very inventive and sublime . Wyatt meanwhile is a bit like in "The End Of A Ear" alternating construction and demolition of the rhythm.

This post was made possible with the contribution of Propylaen2001 who provided almost all the recording of the performance given for the BBC apparently on April 4, 1973. I added the end that was missing and the first note of the saxophone in the beginning.

There is an improvisation in two parts to which I did not give titles because a complete confusion reigns around the titles of the two parts. First named "Caramus" and "Spiderman", their order appears as such on the album "Anglo American" by Gary Windo which contains edit of the performance, but the two parts have been reversed. On the version provided by Propylaen2001, the first part of the improvisation is named "Toddler" and the second "Caramus".

If you compare the second part of this recording with the version available on the album "Anglo American" you will find that the pitch of this version is a little higher. In fact for reasons of space the officially released version has not only been edited but also accelerated but that it does not get the pitch has been lowered. I preferred to leave the pitch of this version as it is because it is consistent with the first part.

There is another recording from this band where Mathewson is replaced by Richard Sinclair, of course I recommend it.

acoustic performance (no PA amplifiction used)


Some more Joseph Jarman coming up. This is a trio setting, wholly acoustic, without any backup from bass and regular drums, except the occasional percussion. Leroy Jenkins is a veteran of the AACM, notably for his long engagement with the Revolutionary Ensemble. Myra Melford is a pianist with a diverse background in classical music as well as jazz and blues and as can be heard from this performance, went to India and learnt to play the harmonium.

Together they weave a tapestry of chambre-like intimacy naeatly summarised in this review: The through-composed nature of much of the material along with the spare instrumentation contributes to a delicate chamber-like feel, but it’s balanced by an unusual, folksy strain of tranquillity; equally beautiful, hearty and fragile, all at once.

Masahiko Satoh - Pavane Lachrymae - Denon 1978

Several years ago I interviewed Masahiko Satoh, probably for the french magazine "impro jazz". One of my first questions was about the incredible diversity of styles he has been playing since the beginning of his career. He then replied, "I have no particular style, when I started to play to win money, the first band I played with, was a jazz band, if it had been a tango band I will become a tango pianist. Reality or casualness of the answer?

UPOMING + RECENT RELEASES XVI

 I shall start with three long awaited reissues.

First we have Ian Brighton's 'Marsh Gas' with a great line-up :
Jim Livesey, alto saxophone
Marcio Mattos, bass
Sound In Brass, handbells
Ian Brighton, guitar
Roger Smith, guitar
Radu Malfatti, trombone
Philipp Wachsmann, violin

Available since December 2018, you'll get it from FMR Records.

The following two CDs/LPs are available since a few days.

Musicians are obvious on the first release. And on the edition with the pipe (Opium for Franz)  you'll have - apart - from Franz Koglmann, Steve Lacy, Aldo Romano and Stephen Horenstein also Bill Dixon and Alan Silva on the long first track.

 You'll get these two goodies through discogs.  Or through the label's website  http://www.blackmonk.at/blog (click on 'Mehr erfahren' und you see the contact address and the prices). According the label more is upcoming. Think about new and old Reform Art Unit sessions.

 

Almost only reissues this time. But at least this subtle new recording I would like to praise.

Here, one of my favourite musicians, Paul Lovens, has teamed with Hugo Antunes (a.o. Red Trio) and the previously unknown (to me, anyway) pianist Seppe Gebruers from Belgium.

So the line-up is percussion, double bass and two pianos, tuned a quarter tone apart.

Get it on vinyl or as a CD from the label  El Negocito.

 

Than I would like to alert you again about the FMP / Destination-out reissue series.

All downloads are available in numerous formats - lossless and lossy.

 https://destination-out.bandcamp.com/

Originally as LP it had three editions. One from Czechoslovakia (which was the first one) shortly followed by a release from the GDR and finally FMP / SAJ.

Produced by the rather unknown Antonin Matzner who played(?) also on this great recording. It is strongly recommended.

Others participants are f.e. Tony Oxley, Günter Sommer, Willem Breuker, Rüdiger Carl, Rudolf Dasek, Albert Mangelsdorff, Louis Moholo, Trevor Watts.........

 

This one is especially appreciated. Only two years ago it seemed this rare session with Danny Davis (of Sun Ra fame), Taj Mahal Travellers' Takehisa Kosugi and Peter Kowald won't be reissued at all.

One of the members had objections against a new release.

But obviously and finally Jost Gebers managed to get the rights for this download. 

 

Not only reissues are offered at FMP's bandcamp site but a.o. also this great unreleased session from 1984.

More music than fits on a CD these "minimalistic" improvisations are a treat;

played by Wolfgang Fuchs, Hanns Schneider (bass) and Bernhard Arndt on piano.

Joseph Jarman- Sunbound (AECO LP, 02)1976

We haven't had any commemorative posts re. the passing away of Joseph Jarman on 10 January 2019, so better late than never, then. This was his one and only solo album, literally speaking, posted in the early days of this blog. We will follow up with other previously posted items as well as material not previously posted here.

An obituary can be found here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/obituaries/joseph-jarman-dead.html

An interview from 2011 here:

http://www.furious.com/perfect/jarman.html

and the offiicial home page here:

http://www.thulanidavis.com/josephjarman/


From the original post:

"Philosophically Jarman's aestheic is agreeable with the freedom loving anti statism that Anarchists define for themselves as Anarchy..that is social agreement with out coercion..NO COPS ,NO COURTS ,NO JAILS, NO TAXES."From the liner notes by Joffre Stewart

"Sunbound is a live solo performance by then Art Ensemble of Chicago member Joseph Jarman, and one of a handful of recordings issued by the band's own label. The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) of Chicago had long required a solo concert as a kind of "final exam." Regardless of one's instrument, a graduate of this school was expected to be able to construct a cohesive performance alone, without benefit of supporting musicians. Thus, concerts like this one were hardly uncommon at the time, though to the wider public the idea of a saxophonist by himself on stage was still somewhat bizarre. Jarman has a significantly different approach to improvisation than his erstwhile reeds partner in the Art Ensemble, Roscoe Mitchell. The latter had an extremely structural view of improvisation, using often arcane conceptual ideas as the basis for his flights. Jarman is a more intuitive player, allowing ideas to flow in natural, lyrical fashion, even when blisteringly intense. Typically, he utilizes a wide variety of reeds and percussion, sometimes simultaneously, though the finest work here is on alto ("Universal Mind Force"). His abandonment of structure allows for some degree of meandering, and there are sections which could have stood a bit of editing, but that "excess" was part of the deal in performances such as this at the time and, in retrospect, are even part of their charm. Still, one misses a foil such as Mitchell to bounce ideas off, and the album, while generally enjoyable, lacks some of the depth and passion associated with the best Art Ensemble recordings. Recommended for AACM completists."
