NOTES:
does #1 go into a second tune @ 7:05 ?

Roland Kirk - Berlin, Paris, Milan 1964 - fixed re-up

A kind reader of my blog whose request was one of the main reasons why I posted these Kirk tracks here in the first place, has helped me fixing the info and identifying the track from Philology/Musica Jazz's Stitt disc as a duplicate (running way too fast!) of a title already included in my own material. So here is everything again, with amended/completed/fixed info, plus with the identification of Tete Montoliu as the pianist all over (for #4 - used to be #5 in the first up - it was clear to my own humble ears that it must be Tete!).

Let me put in a good word for this discography here, I helped with it as much as I could, too:
Tete Montoliu Discography by Agustín Pérez

One more thing that kind reader let me know about is that the first (and complete) tenor solo on #3 (used to be #4) is by the one and only, the late great Johnny Griffin! How could I not notice that in all the years I've had these Kirk shows? Holy holy! Kirk's own solo follows but gets cut short. I'm not positive of Stitt's presence on that title, I can hear J.J. and Kirk's reed section riffing behind the Little Giant.

Further to that, this version now also includes a cover, using a great sketch of Kirk by Alastair Graham.

Here's a very spcecial offering: I got the material compiled here in a trade, re-grouped and cleaned it up (just fixing marks and stuff, not fiddling around with the music itself) and put it up on dime. That was quite a while ago. In the meantime, someone else put it up again, and then perv-fesser goody stepped in, fixing the speed of all but one tracks. In that form, I put it up again on dime a couple of of weeks ago, and now it's on the blog as well. And even better, there's something included now which likely wouldn't have passed the scrutiny on dime, another long Stitt/Kirk version of "Au Privave", the great Parker tune. Tete Montoliu, the late great Catalonian piano player is present on most/all of this. In the rhythm section, we get some bop veterans, Tommy Potter on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums, as well as ex-Ellingtonian Jimmy Woode (by then a member of the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Orchestra), and possibly also great German bass player, Peter Trunk. There's some uncertainty regarding bass and piano duties, but ey, this is mostly about Kirk (and some Stitt and Jay Jay), anyway!

Hope you'll enjoy this! Bright Moments! Bright Moments!

*****************
***final notes***
*****************

- after the date-correction for #4, the order of the tracks was adjusted (to present the music chronologically); #4 originally followed what are now #5 and #6 as the original information I had dated it to October 22 (ubu - 2008-08-04)
- the version of "Au Privave" on Philology's Stitt compilation seems to be identical but totally off-speed (running only 14:36)
- a kind reader has altered me to Johnny Griffin's presence on #3 - indeed the first tenor solo is clearly by him, while the second (cut off) is by Kirk. I am not sure if Stitt can be heard in the backings, but JJ and Kirk do some riffing behind Griffin.

Carla Bley - Austin 1978 (FLAC)

Here's a smoking hot show by the great Carla Bley. Sound isn't stellar, but believe me, the music is! Phillip Wilson is kicking on the traps, and the horns are quite a bunch of greats: Carla Bley. Sound isn't stellar, but believe me, the music is! Phillip Wilson is kicking on the traps, and the horns are quite a bunch of greats: Gary Windo (going apeshit, of course...), John Clark and George Lewis, Bob Stewart, Mike Mantler and Alan Braufman. Swallow hadn't arrived at this point (or was he just not available? I don't know the history of the Bleys/Peacocks/Mantlers/Hadens/Swallows - quite a bunch of great gals and guys who were involved quite, uhm, deeply, it seems...), instead we get one Patty Price (no trace I found on google). Also keyboardist Blue Gene Tyranny (what a name!) is a total unknown to me as well.

rants or comments?

I've had quite a few impatient, impolite, rude, rough, disrespectful, uncivil comments that more seemed to be like rants than comments. That makes it rather unpleasant to write this blog. I enjoy sharing some music, but I have a life outside of this blog (and away from the computer, too). I don't have the time nor the equipment (nor the money) to just fulfill all the wishes (and demands - who the hell really thinks he can ask anything from me? Do you know me or what?).

That should be clear enough.

Further I do understand that some readers' grasp of the english language might make it difficult to get all the twists and wrinkles. However, english is not my mothertongue either and it's sometimes difficult for me to find the right words as well.j I hope to treat these readers kindly in my reactions to their comments, and I hope I have apologized to all those whom I've treated a bit less kindly in the past.

Anyway, as english has become the lingua franca, I still feel like I am allowed to ask anyone dropping by here to actually read my posts. Sometimes you can only find some links when you actually read the whole thing, and if you don't please don't just post a question (or a threat) in the comments, alright? Show some kindness, behave politely, and now open one of your favourite beverages, spin some good tunes and relax!

Summer has arrived here a few weeks back, though it's been rainy and chilly in between, but still, summer may slow down my posting activities, here and elsewhere. I hope no one posts any unruly comments because of that...

I also won't allow any anonymous comments from now on. It's easy to sign up with any of the services that allow you to post here, believe me. If I could figure out how to write that blog, how to rip, tag, encode and upload music and more, I feel like I may ask for just a bit of patience and for grown-up and decent behaviour from anyone who drops by here. Understood?

Also, the ratio of comments vs. downloads is very much not in favour of the readers/downloaders. Possibly some don't realise the work and time I put into this blog, but I'd certainly appreciate a  shout now and then!
