Notes:

Incomplete show.

A European "commercial release" (Cecil is probably seeing nothing from this release.), "The Great Paris Concert", has released other parts of this show.  This portion does not include any of this. 

The commercial release is known as "Student Studies". "The Great Concert" was from 1969 (with Rivers instead of Silva, and from St. Paul de Vence, instead of Paris)

Thanks to all those who share these ROIOs and keep the stuff floating around!

Cecil Taylor r.i.p. - re-post: Berlin 1969

In memory of Cecil Taylor, I'm bringing back this splendid 1969 live recording from Berlin - straight re-up, just newly packed into a RAR.

Cecil Taylor Unit: Taylor, Lyons, Rivers, Cyrille
Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence, France, July 1969

... a lengthy set by the Cecil Taylor Unit of 1969 that included Jimmy Lyons, Andrew Cyrille and the late, great Sam Rivers. Not sure if this is the complete show or if something has been edited out ... but at more than 60 minutes, I guess it could well be the whole enchilada.

"...the 45:++ from radio broadcast is - most probably - the closing section of the performance. There is another radio broadcast 15:45 with something like the first section, and there seems to be a missing link between these broadcasted parts -some say the gap is but a few minutes, others say it might be more, up to 25:00 - I don't know, I only have the two broadcast fragments, and it seems most likely no private audience tape of this concert exists." --H. Lukas Lindenmaier 05.01.03

Notes from "boatini" (www.easytree.org):

Notes from "boatini" (www.easytree.org): For about a week during a two month Arkestra European tour, Sun Ra played with this "all star" aggregation, doing at least four dates (one, in Montreux, was released on LP, albeit split between two Saturn releases). The first five tunes of this date were broadcast on West German TV. The source for this seed is stereo, so it's probably from the soundboard tape. There is some hiss. My tape is probably several generations down.

Track two, after the first minute, alternates between Cherry playing the Mardi Gras favorite "Indian Red", and Jones doing a semi-martial thing. Track 6 is a Moye solo. Track 8 is an unaccompanied Gilmore solo followed by an unaccompanied Shepp solo. All of the vocals are on track 4.

This is about 30 seconds over 80 minutes. If you don't try to shave some time off, put four tracks on each CD, for the tape flip is after four.

The Wrapper - what's still around ...

I wanted to do this for a while ... as it says this blog's dormant, people are unlikely to find those past posts that are still active. Compiling it all:

Lester Young - The Complete Live and in Chronological Order
check the post on top of the blog for more

Garrison Fewell/John Tchicai/Paolino Dalla Porta - Lugano 2006
a trio by the late Garrison Fewell (guitar) and the lamented great John Tchicai (tenor) with Paolino Dalla Porta on bass - check here

Charlie Haden/John Taylor - Cully 2010
here is more by the late great Charlie Haden, with a wonderful british piano player that has, alas, in the meantime left us as well

Charlie Haden/Hank Jones - Montréal 2008
more Haden here, this time with the piano player I consider his perfect duo partner, Hank Jones - this is an AUD recording, but sound is fine

Martial Solal Trio & Hank Jones - Vienne 2009
look here for one of the very few true heirs to Art Tatum with his trio and a very special guest from Detroit

Ahmad Jamal Trio - Paris 1971
more than an hour in FM quality by his trio with Jamil Nasser and Frank Gant here

Hampton Hawes - Paris 1971
from the same days as the Jamal ... check out the great but underrated piano warrior from the West Coast here

Jimmy Smith - Chicago 1981
some burning hot stuff from the master, with an all stars band including Junior Cook, Lou Donaldson, Bill Hardman, Ray Crawford and Kenny Dixon - burn your ears here

Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land - Hamburg 1970
only one set is still around of this once large post featuring unreleased music by the quintet of Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land, another warrior from the West

Barry Altschul - Nancy 1977
check out the great drummer in a quartet with Byard Lancaster, George Lewis and Dave Holland here

Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre - Nancy 1977
find the companion piece to the Altschul set here ... with Ahmed Abdullah, Brian Smith and veteran Charli Persip

Carla Bley Plays Christmas Carols - Berlin 2008
out of season right now, sure, but that part of the will return ... here

James Brown - Paris 1967
the hardest working man in show business with what from a jazz perspective was certainly his finest band ever ... one hell of a great show - get at own risk here

Amy Winehouse - Arendal 2007
the unlucky oddball with the great voice in a fine show here

Cecil Taylor - Berlin 1969
some serious shit here - with Jimmy Lyons (of course!), Sam Rivers (yeah!) and Andrew Cyrille, the only survivor of the foursome, and a true master of drums

there is, finally some stuff by the Dark Magus, too (recognize him at 8 years?), Selim Sivad that is ... the fine concert from 1957 with Barney Wilen can be found here and, to offer a new show, exclusively here, not shared before, check out the Scheveningen 1960 set in full (Sony only gave us the - terrific - opener which is duplicated here, most certainly in lesser sound - that's the link right there, info is included).

Garrison Fewell/John Tchicai/Paolino Dalla Porta - Lugano 2006

Long time no postings ... some old stuff still available, but here's a new one, of which alas I've not run accross any better version than this, my own, taped off a mono radio (one of those Tivoli ones, very good sound, but mono nonetheless) onto minidisc (yeah, really, it's been a while).

This is dedicated to Garrison Fewell who died much too young early in July, and to John Tchicai, who once spent an afternoon at my kitchen table, generously answering whatever odd questions about a distant past I shot at him.

May the music live on!

Read this and check out the photos of Fewell and Tchicai.

And don't forget to grab your copy of their wonderful LP "Tribal Ghosts" (Tchicai and Fewell with Charlie Kohlhase, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart) on NoBusiness.

Charlie Haden & Hank Jones - Montréal 2008

The loss of Charlie Haden is devastating. I hardly find words other to say thank you. I am sure Haden and his music will remain deep in the hearts and souls of many of us, and I don't think there could be a better legacy.

Thanks for this go out to the great dime community! I've had it for years but dug it up last year, when writing a piece about Haden's Montréal Tapes. Around the same time I kept spinning "Come Sunday" endlessly and checked my hard drives for anything, and there it was ... fine setlist, very listenable quality to my ears.

Average White Band - Queens 1978

Here's a partial re-up of a kind by request ... couldn't locate the other part of the earlier share - if you can help out, please do so! This is NOT the same FM/SBD version, but seems to be pre-FM, so it might sound different. This is the version I have around without much digging, so there you go, sorry if the other sounds better, I'd have to rip it from CDR (and have no idea where that CDR - or the 1975 one - might be).

Many thanks to the seeder on dime - these are the very same files, no changes done.

Broadcast on WLIR and WPIX FM.  This is from the pre-FM master cassette recorded at the performance.  A post-FM broadcast recording circulates as well.

There is a little noise in the left channel, which is only occasionally present and not really audible except in quieter songs, like "She's a Dream."  It sounds like one of the drum mics, or maybe it's just a strange sound coming from one of the snare drums.  The last second or two of "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" is lost to a tape flip.

In 1978, the Average White Band was:

Most tunes morph into the next one, setting track markers isn't that simple, but in almost all cases, the existing marks were clearly too late, into the first bar(s) of the following title.

There's a short radio voice-over around 3:40 into #7 that suggests this originates from a live broadcast - but all other radio announcements/intros/outros were deleted.

Track 4 is incomplete, slowly fades out.

Seeder's comment (from EZT, 2005):
Another amazing show from this group, this one just recently resurfaced. I posted the 7/28 show a few weeks ago and there was such good response I had to put this one up too. Just got this and have only listened to it a couple of times myself. Thought it was recorded from a radio broadcast but now I'm wondering if it's a soundboard. The quality is certainly an A and it's entirely possible that they could have recorded this intending to release it. Lord knows there were several Hutcherson albums from this period that weren't released until the 80s. Who knows? Anyway, it's an incredible show, check it out.

Yusef Lateef - Bremen 1971

Yusef Lateef has been a favourite nearly forever since I started listening to jazz ... I discovered the sounds of Miles, Bill Evans, Coltrane, Jimmy Smith and some others when I was about thirteen. Then I was hipped to Cannonball Adderley by a friend of my parents - and fell in love with Lateef's playing on "Nippon Soul" and even more so on "Cannonball in Europe!" where Lateef gets an amazing feature on "Trouble in Mind", the Adderley Brothers taking a break.

A friend helped me out later with the early Savoy sides, and I acquired whatever I could. Any of his albums from his 1956 debut up to the final ones on Impulse (several of which are still not widely available - what a royal drag!) are must haves in my house! The early Savoys ("Jazz Mood", "Jazz for the Thinker"), the live recordings from Pep's (Impulse - with Richard Willimas and Mike Nock) and "Eastern Sounds" (Prestige) are particular favourites, but it seems unfair to point out any of that long stretch of excellent albums also including "Before Dawn" (Verve), "Prayer to the East", "Jazz and the Sounds of Nature", "The Dreamer", "Fabric of Jazz" (all Savoy), "At Cranbrook" (Argo), "The Sounds of Yusef Lateef", "Other Sounds", "Cry! - Tender", "Into Something" (all Prestige), "The Centaur and the Phoenix", "Three Faces of Yusef Lateef" (both Riverside), "The Golden Flute", "Psychicemotus", "1984" (all Impulse) and several others. His tenure at Atlantic started off pretty well, too, with albums such as "The Blue Yusef Lateef", "Yusef Lateet's Detroit" or "The Gentle Giant", which stars the amazing portrait shot by Giuseppe Pino I borrowed to open this post.

Lateef's tenor playing is deeply grounded in the old tradition of Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, but also sports a melodic sense that can be traced back to Lester Young. Swing-to-bop giant Don Byas certainly was another influence.

Born William Emanuel Huddleston in Chattanooga, TN (the middle name is sometimes spelt with to m's) in 1920, his family moved to Detroit when Lateef was five. One of his classmates was Milt Jackson, soon he also befriended tenor players Billy Mitchell and Lucky Thompson, both later to be at home in a similarly deeply rooted yet modern playing style.

After starting to play around his hometown, Lateef played with several name bands including Hot Lips Page's and Roy Eldridge's, recorded his first solos on RCA sides of Dizzy Gillespie's great big band of the late forties. Then he returned to Detroit and continued to study, adding flute to his array. He turned into one of jazz' finest flautists, later mastering the oboe and turning that most classical of all wind instruments into a supreme blues instrument. He also started exploring scales and rhythms used in other musical traditions such as Indian or Arab ones, adding further instruments like the argol and the shenai. His bass players were to use the rebab as well, whilst the drummers turned into percussionists, using finger cymbals, gongs etc.

Lateef's early band featured Curtis Fuller on trombone and later Wilbur Harden on trumpet and Hugh Lawson on piano. He also recorded a pair of albums with Bernard McKinney (later known as Kiane Zawadi) on euphonium and the great Detroit piano player Terry Pollard. On "Eastern Sounds" he had Barry Harris on piano - the epitome of pure bebop and one of Detroit's most renowned musicians. In the mid sixties his music - that had long turned into what can be called "world music" - got more adventurous as can be witnessed on the live recordings made by Impulse at Pep's in Philadelphia. He also recorded a fine album with Georges Arvanitas on piano ("Psychicemotus") that was luckily reissued on CD a few years back.

What makes Lateef so special and his music so dear to me is his control of sound, no matter on which of his axes, but most impressive on tenor, where he seems to be fully in charge of each microtone he inserts in his slurs and trills. His sound simply has to be one of the best ever on the instrument. His solos waste no notes, his ballad playing is masterful (check out "Love Is Eternal" on his sole Verve album for a prime example).

I've never gotten around to really explore his career after around 1970 in a thorough way, but he continued to record some fine albums, founded his own YAL label, on which he released - among many others - four albums of encounters with other tenor saxophonists (all titled "Tenors"): Archie Shepp, Von Freeman, René McLean and Ricky Ford. In the mid noughties, he collaborated with french Belmondo Brothers to record a wonderful double album titled "Influnce" (Bee Jazz, 2005). A scaled-down version of that band played a fantastic concert at Cully Jazz Festival the following year that was luckily captured by radio (I missed it and I'm still hating myself for that). I finally managed to catch Lateef live in late 2012 when he appeared at Enjoy Jazz in Ludwigshafen with Archie Shepp. Frankly, the best of the night was a great rhythm section headed by the late Mulgrew Miller and also conaining Reggie Workman and Hamid Drake. Shepp and Lateef were both there, but not bothering to actually play together all that much. Shepp did some pretty lacklustre blues singing (killing Ellington's "Don't Get 'round Much Any More" along the way) and some of his typically raunchy blowing, still with a gorgeous tone but without much of the old bravura and control, while Lateef just played short snippets and threw in some sounds along the way. When he played the theme to "In a Sentimental Mood" on oboe, without adding even a bar of blowing after that, it was still the finest moment of the whole night, earning the largest applause. A weird night, but I'm so glad I have been there.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Here is a concert from Lateef's well-documented 1971 tour, with a fine band and the leader in fine shape. If you can help identifying any of the tunes, please to leave a comment.

Thanks to the kind person who shared this over on dime, several years back.

Carla Bley - Carla's Christmas Carols (Berlin 2008)

Okay, it's this time of the year again, where most people seem to be in even worse mood than usual, have a rush, no time for a casual appointment because they have some stuff going on almost nightly ... and on top of it all, they start playing weird music all over the place ... I've been told though that some people actually do like that stuff ... hard to believe as it is, here is again one of the perennial favourites of this blog, posted before at least twice - and surely some of the most thought-provoking and left-field christmas music you're ever going to hear.

Here's a re-post, dedicated to Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre (1936-2013)

Anyone who doesn't know him is encouraged to watch Danilo Parra's poignant film here.

And anyone who wants to check out more of his music should get his Delmark release Humility in the Light of Creator. Kalaparusha was also present on the very first AACM release, Delmark's Sound by Roscoe Mitchell, which is a glorious record - and indeed, "sound" is what it's about ... check out Kalaparusha's sound, it's deep!

Seriously, it's Sonny Rollins on May 3, 1967 in Arnhem, in trio with Ruud Jacobs and Han Bennink. Check out all details here.

(Borrowing the newspaper snippet from a blog that borrowed the FLAC version of this - thx.)
