Here's a great one - a digital radio capture of Cecil Taylor's 1969 set at the Berlin. And opposed to what was long thought, it seems to be the full set, too! (Read the message from Lukas Lindenmaier below - you'll need to save that from here if you want it, it's not included in the DL!)
Most likely, this is the finest quality show we'll ever hear from Taylor's 1969 tour with Sam Rivers!

"...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

:: note by Lukas Lindenmaier (2009-12-14) - not included in the DL! ::
Hi,
after listening to the 1969-1106 recording again, I do believe the 63:30 version we have from the 2009-0619 broadcast (RBB Kulturradio) is the complete performance recorded. There is not cut/editing audible - not in my ears, at least - except for cutting short the final applause. Also, this version is of the best audio quality so far.
Longer versions of recordings from this same date result from - m.h.o - clumsy efforts combining (editing/pasting) fragments from earlier incomplete broadcasts (aired 1969, 1970, and later, by various German radio stations. All these pastiche versions (69 min, 75 min., some even longer) suffer from low audio quality, also harsh cuts and/or inexplicable fades, cross-fades, and overlappings. There is no private audience recording from this performance, as far as I know, documenting „a much longer performance“ as rumourously reported by few eye-/ear-witnesses.
(sidebar): reading from contemporary (1969) festival reviews, 1969-1106 was the opening night of Berliner Jazztage. Performing on this „Piano For Duke“ night were 1) Joe Turner solo or trio?, 2) Steve Kuhn solo?, 3) Joachim Kühn w. Barre Phillips, Stu Martin, Jacques Thollot, 4) Thelonious Monk solo, (then w. J.Turner, Hans Rettenbacher, S.Martin sitting in for the last tune, 5) Cecil Taylor Unit (Lyons, Rivers, Taylor, Cyrille). Not having heard recordings from the first 3 sets, but the complete Monk set, which runs for some 30 min. incl. applause, I guess the CT Unit started at about 2 and 1/2 hours after the beginning of the program - and I don‘t think they played more than the 63:30 on the recording, when „... three quarter parts of the audience derserted ... (quote from Hans Harzheim‘s review in: Jazz Magazine (France) #175 (Feb. 1970) p.11).
Best wishes,
H.Lukas Lindenmaier

Michel Camilo - Bern 2007
And finally, something more bread and butter... a piano trio!
Michel Camilo is a virtuoso piano player that has mostly lost me... I heard a solo set of his in the mid 90s that I enjoyed, but then all I heard sounded rather boring to my ears. I keep checking out some of his shows on dime though, and this one sounded pretty exciting, so I felt like offering it here, too!
If you enjoy some exuberant, playful and happy piano music, this will be right for you! And on this darkish wet and snowy day, it will help enlighten my place, that's for sure!
Again, this needed some work, but of course again, many thanks to the seeder on dime!

Michel Godard - Offenburg 2004
And one more for the lovers of the tuba - a very fine AUD capture of Michel Godard's band "Cousins Germains" with the saxophones of Wolfgang Puschnig (Austrian of course) and Christof Lauer, Herbert Joos on trumpet, the devilish looks and guitars of Marc Ducret, and drummer Wolfgang Reisinger. A mighty fine band, that also has a CD out.
Godard has done many interesting projects, as I mentioned in the previous post. Among the finest are his own Castel del Monte discs, released on Enja. Medieval touches can be heard in this set as well, thanks to Godard's use of the serpent, a very old predecessor of the tuba.
This came as a crappily tracked 2CD set, I shortened it a bit here and there, retracked the whole show, and not the music can be enjoyed in all it's greatness!
Thanks a lot to the original seeder on dime, and thanks even more for dedicating this set to me, back then!

Michel Godard & Dave Bargeron - Köln 2001
Tuba anyone? Two big horns for two big men... Dave Bargeron and Michel Godard are among the finest tuba players in today's jazz scene. Bargeron has been around for a while and has frequently turned up on the bass trombone chair of bigger bands, Godard has done all kinds of things, including a long stint in the fine band of oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil.
Here they are together, doing the flight of the bumble bee and other crazy stuff. An there's a squeezebox as well... but don't be scared, this is actually a very musical set, too! Kenwood Dennard keeps the beat funky in this all 'round fine show!
They also released a CD that can be found at amazon.com, for instance:

Max Nagl - Mainz 1999
Max Nagl is one of the more interesting characters around on the European jazz and music scene of the past years, composing for stage plays, dance and more.
Nagl, born 1960, has released a string of intriguing albums, the latest of them mostly on Hat Hut, including his fine project "Big Four" (with Steven Bernstein). Nagl has collaborated with novelist Franzobel, with Noel Akchoté (who's also a member of Big Four), Lol Coxhill, Austrian accordion derwish Otto Lechner, singer Julie Tippetts, and has dedicated albums to the music of Eric Dolphy and Ornette Coleman, as well as Robert Wyatt.
This post features his quartet with Josef Novotny at the piano, Anne Harvey on violin, and Patrice Héral on drums and percussion.

Cedar Walton (with Eddie Harris) - Ancona 1984
Here's another one... Pianist Cedar Walton and his fine trio with David Williams and Idris Muhammad, playing with the late great Eddie Harris!
They were both born in 1934 - Eddie left this place far too early! He's one of the big unsung greats, not taken nearly as serious as a bad-ass jazz artist than he should have been. But that's too late now!
This needed quite some work, and it's far from perfect, but it's great hearing Eddie in such a fine band!

gap removal in EAC wouldn't work as there were tiny bits of the next track at the end (after the gaps!) of the tracks, hence I removed them manually with Cool Edit
I also fixed a couple of rough spots (most notably a glitch at the opening of "Bolivia" - there are others later on which I didn't think I could handle properly - small portions are duplicated, it seems)
Finally, the track marks were corrected
John Zorn / Tim Berne - Frankfurt 1988
Here's a set by John Zorn and Tim Berne, doing some Ornette tunes with the twin drums of Joey Baron and Michael Vatcher, and Mark Dresser on bass. This is the "Spy vs. Spy" band a few months before recording that album. Not sure why it was dubbed "W.R.U." at the concert, of if I mixed anything up... anyway, the music is great!

John Surman & Pierre Favre - Leipzig 2003
Here's another beautiful show by John Surman, this time in duo with Swiss drum magician Pierre Favre.
Surman recorded a beautiful ECM disc in duet with drummer Jack DeJohnette, but this setting here is much different. Pierre Favre has long been a mainstay of creative music in Switzerland - a longtime collaborator of pianist Irene Schweizer, occasional sideman on ECM and elsewhere, and occasional leader, as well, he has been performing as a solo musician for a long time.
He has done it all, recording with big bands (Giorgio Azzolini), all star groups (George Gruntz, Lars Gullin, Flavio Ambrosetti), with many of ECM's stalwarts (Surman, Barre Phillips, the Hilliard Ensemble, Dino Saluzzi), the crop of Europe's free music (Manfred Schoof, Barry Guy, Irene Schweizer, Albert Mangelsdorff), as well as with regular jazz formations (the Mal Waldron trio). Quite a discography has grown over the years!
So he's a perfect match for John Surman, as you can listen for yourselves now!

John Surman / Jean-Paul Celea / Daniel Humair - Nevers 2005
Here's a beautiful trio set by the great John Surman, accompanied by Jean-Paul Celea and Daniel Humair.
Humair is a favourite in this house, and he's not only been heard on this just posted Mariano/Haurand/Humair show, but also previously on a Yosuke Yamashita Trio set, with his own trio featuring Tony Malaby and Joachim Kühn, and with Tryptich, the collective trio of Celea, Humair and pianist François Couturier. And the good news is, all these shows can still be downloaded!
While John Surman usually is more of an impressionist and lyricist, in this setting here, he's blowing hard and I love it at least as much as his more impressionist playing for ECM etc.
This wonderful show needed quite some work to present the music with as little radio talk interrupting it as possible!

Don Ellis - Monterey 1967 & Antibes 1977
Here are two short bits by the great Don Ellis!
It took me a while and several emails with two friends to figure out all the details. Hope I got it all right, in the end!
Read more about Ellis here:
Wikipedia Entry
1968 Interviews, with Ron Simmonds and Les Tomkins
(there are a few more links there!)
Jeff Sultanoff's Remembering Don Ellis from jazz.com: pt. 1 & pt. 2
And by all means, do look for some of Ellis' official releases! The early small group albums are excellent (I think I'd recommend Essence first, it has been brought out on CD at last by Mighty Quinn), and his two Pacific Jazz albums with the orchestra - Live at Monterey and Live in 3 2/3 /4 Time - are among the most exciting big band jazz you'll ever hear! Then, there's Electric Bath, recorded for Columbia, and the great 1971 album for Atlantic, Tears of Joy (CD reissue by Wounded Bird). Several other albums were reissued by Wounded Bird, and Soaring, one of Ellis' MPS albums, was recently reissued by Universal Europe in their cheapo "Jazz Club" series.
The first of these two tracks, New Horizons, comes from shortly before Ellis took the band to the studio to record his Electric Bath album.
The second track comes from fairly late in the game and is incomplete, alas, but it provides another worthwhile glimpse of Ellis at work.

Sorry for the delay... here's the promised second Mariano session, teaming him up with the Swiss trio of Jean-Christophe Cholet (piano), Heiri Känzig (bass) and Marcel Papaux (drums).
They have been working together as a trio since 2002, and in 2003 began their collaboration with Charlie Mariano, which also resulted in a CD, "Silver Blue" (Enja).

Charlie Mariano / Ali Haurand / Daniel Humair - Genève 1999
Charlie Mariano was one of the sad losses of the past year. He seemed to go on forever though, and I'm grateful for all the music he left us! Among his finest later efforts was a great Enja released titled "Deep in a Dream" - recommended!
Recently, Enja reissued Eberhard Weber's Colours albums, with Charlie, Rainer Brüninghaus, and drummers John Marshall and Jon Christensen (one at the time).

Charlie Mariano on AAJ
I shared a 2002 concert with his electric backing band and some guests from all over the world last year, and I have two more shows ready. Here's the first of them, a stellar trio with one of my favourite drummers, Daniel Humair, and Ali Haurand on bass. It comes from a dime download (thanks to jazzrita who shared it there!), and it was fine enough for me to edit it in order to get rid of all the disturbing radio chatter between the songs.

It comes from a dime download (thanks to jazzrita who shared it there!), and it was fine enough for me to edit it in order to get rid of all the disturbing radio chatter between the songs.

Happy New Year!
I wish you all the best in 2010 - many great and happy moments, much success in whatever it is you want to be successful in!
And I thanks a lot to the upright seven for commenting now and then and trying to maintain a bit of discussion!
Of course, more feedback would be very welcome (about the music, not about my "achievement" with this blog, which is close to nil)!
So there'd be a new years resolution for y'all... :-)
