I'd enjoy it if people would drop by again and share some thoughts about the music they downloaded from this place!

Lee Konitz - Tokyo 1973 (r.i.p. Dick Katz)

Helen Merrill with the late
Dick Katz, 1924 - 2009

Here's another recording with Dick Katz, this time with Lee Konitz and one of his seventies bands, featuring Marshall Brown on trombone. These three recorded Lee's Milestone album "Peacemeal" in 1969 (which was also produced by Dick Katz).

Roy Eldridge - NYC (r.i.p. Dick Katz)

Dick Katz, 1924 - 2009

Here are a pair of radio broadcasts by Roy Eldridge's band, featuring Richie Kamuca on tenor sax, and Dick Katz on piano.

These are shared to commemorate Dick Katz, the great pianist and talented writer, who just died. He performed with many greats, including Benny Carter, Kenny Dorham, Tony Scott, the Jay Jay Johnson/Kai Winding band, and others, and he co-founded Milestone Records with Orrin Keepnews, producing albums by Jim Hall/Ron Carter, Lee Konitz and others.

My own favourites among his recordings - next to classics like Carter's "Further Definitions" and "Kenny Dorham & The Jazz Prophets Vol. 1" - though are the Helen Merrill albums he masterminded, both as a producer as well as a pianist. They were recently reissued by Mosaic Records. Some of the finest vocal jazz ever put to tape! Ms. Merrill has posted an NYT review from 2008 on her site.

Marc Myers did an interesting interview with Katz, in the summer. Read it here.

These recordings aren't in perfect quality, far from in fact. But these are historical glimpses at a period when jazz' commercial decline was about to begin. Further, they offer an interesting mix: oldie Roy Eldridge pairs up with west coast tenor Richie Kamuca and east coast pianist Dick Katz. In addition, we get to hear some Kansas City blues from guest Jimmy Witherspoon. Tommy Potter, one of Bird's bass players, is on bass, and Eddie Locke, who often played with Coleman Hawkins around that time, is on drums.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the poet laureate of rock'n'roll, the voice of the promise of the 60s counter-culture... who disappeared in the haze of substance abuse, who emerged to find Jesus, who was written off as a has-been in the 80, and suddenly shifted gears...

Joe Lovano - Newport 2009

The great saxophonist Joe Lovano had a bad fall in Spain, or as he calls it, a "freak accident":

"I'm okay. In a freak accident, I fell and somehow broke both arms. Had to cancel all gigs through the end of the year. I'll be back soon!" (from Lovano's twitter account)

I wish him all the best of a speedy recovery!

Here's a partial set, not in perfect quality, shared on dime recently.
The setlist isn't quite figured out yet... and there's a goof about #6 in the info file included (it IS "Viva Caruso" as far as I can tell, but much faster than on the Blue Note disc of the same name). If you have any additions to make, please post a comment!

Confirmed #2 as "Folk Art"
The first part of #4 came as "Song for Judi", but this seems to be "Dibango"
The second part of #4 was confirmed by a dimer as "Big Ben" (double checked by yours truly)
#3 sounds a bit reminiscent of a part of Coltrane's "A Love Supreme", once Lovano enters 3 minutes into the tune (the Psalm part?)

Freddie Hubbard - Boston 1972 (re-post)

:: re-post - links following soon ::

Next show of Hubbard's - this one is great, similar to his CTI albums (I have "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" only - both are great). I always like to hear Junior Cook, and George Cables is a great musician, too. But of course this is mainly Freddie's show!

CTI All Stars - Munich 1972

Here's a massive slice of CTI all stars, recorded in Munich 1972, during the Olympic Games, it seems. Other artists that performed during the Olympic Games were John McLaughlin, both solo and with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, as well as a concert shared here before, by Art Blakey and Tony Williams (links are still good).

This CTI show features the late Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, as well as Hubert Laws, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Farrell and other mainstays of the legendary Creed Taylor founded label.

Doug Payne has a great label discography up on his page, and there's a huge blog over here, hosting rips of many albums. Much of it is OOP or hard to find, I think... I didn't get much there as I'm not a big fan of CTI productions and the way they sound, usually... of course everyone ought to own "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" by Freddie Hubbard, though!

Don Cherry - Hilversum 1966

Here then is Don Cherry's magnificient 1966 quintet, a band featuring musicians from North and South America as well as from Europe. ESP Disk' has released three single discs, collecting this band's radio broadcasts from Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre - highly recommended!

For more on Don Cherry, check out wiki, or the discography by Johann Haidenbauer hosted on daughter Neneh's site. Furthermore, there's a great site listing Cherry's unissued and unofficial recordings here.

By the way, it's not that easy to find photos of Don, as there's some fool (a used to be hockey player it seems) that goes by the same name and loves wearing disgustingly ugly suits...

New York Contemporary Five - Copenhagen 1963

Here's a short radio broadcast by one of the important early avantgarde groups, the New York Contemporary Five. The quintet consisted of John Tchicai (a Dane with African ancestors), Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Don Moore and J.C. Moses.

I'll follow this one with another short show by Don Cherry's great 1966 band - the two will fit onto one CDR, for those who still burn their music to discs.

The wiki entry isn't exactly very thorough. This site has some more discographical infos (but misses two of the releases).
I urge you all to get the Storyville release, which is weirdly titled "Archie Shepp & The New York Contemporary Five" and comprises both Sonet albums (minus one track, "Cisum" - anyone has that one and feels like sharing it here? Would be great!). The Savoy disc might by hard to come by, but it pairs a NYC5 date with a fine Bill Dixon session and is very much worth looking for as well. The Fontanas are impossible to find I guess, unless you have lots of $$$ to spend for them... I haven't even tried!

Swallow hadn't arrived at this point (or was he just not available?

Also keyboardist Blue Gene Tyranny (what a name!) is a total unknown to me as well.

Here's Scott Yanow's AMG review:

This long-out-of-print LP contains quite a few intriguing rarities featuring great swing trumpeter Bunny Berigan. Berigan was arguably the top trumpeter in jazz during 1935-1938. The LP begins with Berigan heard as a featured sideman with a radio band in 1936, including a version of "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town." From the same broadcast, trumpeter Henry "Red" Allen and a quintet from the Mills Blue Rhythm Band (including altoist Tab Smith and pianist Billy Kyle) jam "Body and Soul" and the heated "Ride, Red, Ride." Four numbers from 1938 and one in 1939 feature Berigan's swing band, with the highlights including "Black Bottom," "A Study in Brown," and "Sugar Foot Stomp." Berigan is heard still in decent shape with the 1940 Tommy Dorsey Orchestra on "Contact" and "East of the Sun."

A June 1940 radio jam session goes on for 13 minutes, featuring Berigan in an all-star swing group with fellow trumpeters Harry James and Roy Eldridge, trombonists Tommy Dorsey and Jack Jenny, Coleman Hawkins on tenor, pianist Count Basie, bassist John Kirby, and drummer Gene Krupa. The recording quality is a bit shaky in spots, but it is certainly a unique pleasure hearing all of those musicians jamming a blues together. The Jazz Archives LP concludes with what is probably Berigan's final appearance on record, a radio aircheck version of "I'm Confessin'" with his last big band from the spring of 1942, just a few months before his death. Berigan sounds surprisingly good, if a little weary. Collectors will want to track down this rare LP.

Michel Petrucciani Solo - Berlin 1995

Here's a special offering - a 1995 solo concert by Michel Petrucciani, shared originally on dime by "duckberry", however it was banned for having lossy lineage, and he was forced to do a new transfer of an aging tape... here we have what is the better-sounding version - never mind the minidisc/attrac file format in the lineage!

This comes with duckberry's blessings - thanks a lot!

For those who prefer the "pure" lineage with a bit lesser sound quality, go here.

This concert is one of my treasures. I never saw it anywhere, so I thought it to be worth the effort. Whith only a cable as antenna and my old Denon tuner (Nakamichi or Akai tape deck) I captured it in my ground floor student room. I remember how glad I was that Michel's 1st set perfectly fitted an side A of the tape. Luckily the clapping was long enough to turn the cassette around.
About 10 years ago I copied some of my tape recordings to minidisc. This version seems to be be best I have. Only track #3 is from a fresh transfer from the old tape, because apparently ten years ago I forgot to copy it.
If there should be an audio freak out ther in cyber space who might create a superior version: I recently copied the original tape via new and pretty good soundcard (Asus Xonar D") in a 24bit version to pc. No problem to send a copy.
Please feel free to cintribute to the setlist or to create some artwork.
Do not sell or convert to lossy format.

:: ubu note ::

duckberry seeded this one dime, it was banned as he mentioned still having the original tape.
He did a new transfer with the following comment:

"About 10 years ago I copied some of my tape recordings to minidisc. Yesterday I tried to ul the minidisc version, because in my ears it sounds better then the 14 years old tape. But that torrent was banned, because in theory a fresh transfer from the master tape should be better than the one with the lossy minidisc (ATRAC) step. But the (lossy) minidisc version has come much better through the last decade than the tape ..."

and he kindly allowed me to share the lossy lineage but better sound version over here!

:: ubu notes ::

Came as Sound Board, but there are a few too many radio announcements...

The radio announcement at the end of CD2#2 gives June 26 as the date, and a location that does sound different, I don't understand it though.
When this was up on dime, it was all seeded as from June 25 and from the Bimhuis.

A Dutch friend helped me figure out the announcements - he wrote:

info on one of the broadcasts is up on the VPRO Jazz Op 4 site:
http://www.vpro.nl/programma/jazzopvier/afleveringen/2233491/
(note: this is broadcast by VPRO, the other one by NPS)

there it is mentioned that this 14 nov 1999 VPRO broadcast covers 25 june and that a previous NPS broadcast covered 26 june

on CD2tr2 the guys mentions this was music from 26 june and that next week we'll hear 25 june

CD2tr3: "...you can listen to part of the final tune of the first set in the Bimhuis on that 26th, a composition by Griffin: 'Chicago Calling'"

on CD1tr4 the lady mentions VPRO plans to (re-)broadcast the second evening on 30 jan 2000, but apparantly this never happened as a Frisell concert was broadcast on that date.

no info online on the NPS broadcast as far as I can('t) find it-

- separated fm talk from beginning of CD2#3
- moved mark CD2#2/#3: +7.759sec

- deleted 0.460sec of silence at beginning of CD2#4
- added fade-in at beginning of CD2#4
- separated fm outro from end of CD2#
- added fade-out at end of CD2#4

Note: the first set ends after #3, as this came (from dime), "Invitation" ended disc one. If this was indeed a live broadcast, maybe "Invitation" comes from the beginnig of the first set and was broadcasted during the break until the second set began? The track was edited in a way that allows no clear judgement, but I have some doubts about an 18:17 minute track fitting into the break.

:: ubu edits ::

separated #1 and #2


Notes on the setlist:

CD1#1 Von seems to navigate through some standards or at least standards chord changes. Around 10:50 he quotes "Isn't It Romantic" for a moment.
CD1#2 is mostly a bass, then a drum solo, Hill enters at the end.
CD1#3 sounds like another standard, or possibly "Alfie" at the beginning, then goes into what sounds like an original, but at 4:45, Von goes into "Isn't It Romantic" again and stays with it, but the very final line is the "Alfie"-opening line again...
CD2#1 opens with a lengthy drum solo implicating a typically intricate Hill rhythm, Von opens quoting "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)". Later on it sounds as if he's playing "I Can't Get Started", but he continues alluding to "I Got It Bad". When Von enters again at 22:00 they go into a bop classic (Dig?), then around 24:30 Von goes into "Sweet Georgia Brown".
CD2#2 opens with a sax cadenza, leading into "I'll Remember April", after a lengthy trio segment, Von goes into "A Night in Tunisia", not without quoting "Mr. P.C." (22:14), then quoting "What Is This Thing Called Love" and possibly alluding to the fourth movement of "A Love Supreme". Following a short solo cadenza, Von goes into "Ain't Misbehavin" (31:05), at 33:00 he then goes into "Lester Leaps In"

The following was posted on dime, I think:
Sweet Georgia Brown
Dig
I'll Remember April
A Night in Tunisia
Salt Peanuts
It sort of fits with parts of the second set...

Warne Marsh - bundle #1

Still struggling to keep up and get out the links to all the shows that will be deleted in two weeks if not downloaded by then... so here's a new idea: I'll bundle some shows by artists of which I have multiple shows that I haven't posted yet.

For starters, how about some Warne Marsh?

Some live shows from various stages in his career (the 70s shows are among the earliest in circulation, I think), some in great sound, some more "historical", like the 1975 show.

If you're interested in more prime Marsh, may I recommend you buy "Ne Plus Ultra" (reissued by Hat Hut in their hatOLOGY series), as well as the Nessa Records release "All Music".

I know you might accuse me of double standards now, but may I please ask that you buy these instead of sharing them in the NSA list? I always feel bad when releases by struggling small labels releasing great music turn up in the blogosphere or wherever on the webs. It just feels wrong to me to steal the money from Werner Uehlinger or Chuck Nessa, as they are among the few folks still crazy enough to try and release a CD now and then, even though that's one of the least economically feasible things to do these days!

Ok, end of moral sermon...

Some comments on the music:

If you're new to Marsh, I urge you to check out at least the 1971 show with Gary Foster (same or similar band as on the hatOLOGY reissue), and the 1983 Voorburg show! These come in very good sound!

The duo with Red Mitchell sounds good, too, but it's a private recording from almost thirty years back, so...

The Chicago show with Jimmy Raney and Lou Levy isn't quite as fine as I would have expected, but hey, Raney, Marsh and Lou Levy... it won't get much more interesting, line-up wise!

The Oslo show features Marsh and frequent partner Susan Chen with a bunch of Norvegian musicians, and for a change with horns! That one was a lot of work, I hope you like the results!

Finally, the Voorburg session from 1983 is with Lou Levy again and this one's in perfectly good sound - a highly enjoyable session!
(This one, in fact, is a re-post, the only one of the bunch that was posted before.)

Sorry for this on-going overkill... I will likely post these again later on, on my blog, one by one, but right now this is just about keeping the links alive for a while, as most of these have had no downloads and where uploaded over half a year ago...

Folter

I found this poem, browsing around in the great book displayed above.


Die Junta erlässt Richtlinien für Folterer

Es ist strengstens verboten, zu foltern
ohne einen triftigen Grund zum Foltern.

Ob ein triftiger Grund zum Foltern
vorliegt, ergibt sich am besten durch Foltern.

Stellt es sich im Laufe des Folterns
heraus, dass kein triftiger Grund zum Foltern

vorliegt, so sind alle Spuren des Folterns
zu beseitigen, indem der Gegenstand des Folterns

beseitigt wird. Der Tod wird daher nicht durch Foltern
bewirkt, obwohl er die Folge des Folterns

sein mag. Wer immer diese Wahrheit über das Foltern
leugnet, gibt damit triftigen Grund zum Foltern.

The re-vamped World Saxophone Quartet (with Bruce Williams on second alto), with the addition of Craig Harris and the rhythm section of Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Lee Pearson on drums play Jimi Hendrix... can't get much more raucous than this!

This is another BBC Jazz on 3 re-broadcast (by listener vote) of the WSQ's tribute to
Jimi Hendrix. It has additional tracks to the original broadcast and now here it is in
an all-digital recording clarity.

It is a wonderful show that should appeal to listeners new and also, as an upgrade, to
those who got it first time round here on on Dime ...

August 26, 2009 - As part of the celebration of 30 years of Piano Jazz, Marian McPartland has asked some of her favorite musicians to guest host.

Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello sits down with music legend Allen Toussaint in this installment of Piano Jazz. Like Toussaint, Costello has crossed many genres in his career, working with the likes of producer/composer Nick Lowe, trumpet great Chet Baker, legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach and his own wife, jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall.

Toussaint is one of New Orleans' most revered musicians, working since the late 1950s as an arranger-producer while writing songs like "Working in a Coal Mine," "Southern Nights" and "Ride Your Pony." These days, he performs his music around the world, and even joined Costello to record the 2006 album The River in Reverse. In this session, Costello introduces Toussaint as "a living embodiment of the rich musical heritage of the Crescent City."

Here, Toussaint performs "Mother-in-Law," "Fortune Teller" and a very personal version of "Southern Nights," a hit single for country/pop great Glen Campbell. Toussaint takes the song back to its roots, recalling the nights when his father took him to the country to visit "the old Creole people." Then he brings his New Orleans-born rhythmic and harmonic sensibilities to the standards "Singin' the Blues," a song closely associated with Marian McPartland and her late husband, cornetist Jimmy McPartland.

The lively conversation covers early influences on Toussaint's music: jazz, blues, boogie-woogie, church music and "hillbilly music." Talk changes to the great storm Toussaint calls "the booking agent Katrina." It actually helped him move into a rewarding new phase in his career.

In the final selection, the duo plays a medley of piano legend Professor Longhair's "Tipitina" and the Toussaint-Costello song "Ascension Day." Over Toussaint's rolling, bluesy piano, Costello's lyrics paint an anguished picture of the empty streets they found shortly after Katrina, when they came to New Orleans to finish The River in Reverse. There is hope in the song's ending, though: "But I know they will return / Like they've never gone away / Come Ascension Day."

Regarding the place, I am not an expert, however, I would guess the Basement might be referring to Tips?

I found the following info on wikipedia about radio station WWOZ
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWOZ

"The station began broadcasting 4 December 1980 from the tiny transmitter building in Bridge City, Louisiana beneath their shared rented broadcast tower. A few months later the broadcasts moved to the space the station had been using in a dilapidated two-room apartment upstairs from the legendary music club Tipitina's at Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street in Uptown New Orleans."

"When artists performing live downstairs at Tipitina's gave their permission, their performances were broadcast via a microphone lowered through a hole in the floor. When permission to broadcast live performances downstairs could not be obtained, programming went to pre-recorded reel-to-reel tapes, as the music downstairs made it too loud in the studio to talk over the microphones and the vibrations made it impossible to use the station's turntables."

I do realize the date of this recording is before the date listed in the wikipedia. It just makes me curious where the recording is from. Thanks for the great tunes

---------------------------------------------

comment (by email) from KingCake (sent my way on 2009-07-19 ~ubu):

The so-called Basement Jam is kind of humorously mis-named as we don't have basements in New Orleans. This could be recorded at Fess's house were he would have semi private shows and serve/sell drinks in his double front parlor (a common feature of NO shotgun houses). The date, however, is mid march which means it is close to Mardi Gras which makes it more likely one of the smaller clubs that dotted the city. Next time I see Reggie I'll ask him but that would be my guess. The drummer is either Shiba or Earl Gordon, most likely Earl if the date is correct. By the way Reggie and Dave had already formed The Radiators by 1977 but that would have no impact on this, no one outside of NOLA knew them back then. There is a steel drummer too and even though he has some bad moments I'm guessing from the good stuff that it is Stanley John - Fess was really into steel drummers around this time and tolerated a couple of pretty bad ones until he found this guy Stanley who could actually play.

Professor Longhair - New Orleans 1979

Here's the third show by Professor Longhair, uploaded on dime by lolita - thanks a lot! These are the original FLAC files with tags added, a slightly altered info-file and new checksums (for those who care about the technical stuff...)

For all the others, this is some rolling great New Orleans music!

I'll also re-post the earlier two shows in a few minutes, since one of them had wrong info.

And a bit more of a mainstream one: Geri Allen, in trio with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian. This was shared as a filler to one of dsgtrane's many great Randy Weston shares on dime, quite some time ago (the Weston show will also be posted!) and I thought albeit short, it's good enough to be heard on it's own, and applied the usual bit of fixing.
