One has returned from the wilds... and the new year's eve festivities beckon... so: a brief holding action - four tracks that hopefully reflect the diversity this blog strives for... which I intend to try and broaden further in the New Year...
Gus Cannon recorded 'Minglewood Blues' in 1928 with his Jug Stompers. A raw yet curiously delicate track...
Steve Lacy and Don Cherry playing 'Let's Cool One' from the Monk canon - something very fresh about this track- Lacy in particular seems calm and unhurried...
Alexander Von Schlippenbach's quartet (with Evan Parker) - a long clattering extravaganza from one of the best and most consistent European combos... 'Wenn Wir Kehlkopfspieler,' recorded for a live radio broadcast in 1975, yet only released in 2000, I think...
This track - 'Venus - Upper and Lower Egypt' - is under Pharoah Sanders' name but was unissued as far as I know until it came out on the monster Albert Ayler Revenant 9 cd set (link below) - a long free jazz blowout from the sixties with Albert and Pharoah on tenors alongside an unknown alto and third tenor player... an interesting obscurity...
And... a happy new year to all... back soon...
In the Videodrome...
Eric Dolphy in Europe...
... and with Trane...
... the Coltrane Quartet – doing Afro Blue...
and a vid from Ecstatic Peace of a live performance from Paul Flaherty, Joe Lovano and Chris Corsano...
...and the future beckons... The Good Anna...
