Finally. after a two year hiatus, Universal Austria released the second 2CD set featuring vintage recordings of Austrian all time jazz great Erich Kleinschuster with guest stars. CD1 features Jimmy Heath and Art Farmer at their peak in 1968 (giving a valuable addendum/comparisson to Mosaic`s current "Single" reissue of "The time and the place" featuring the same line-up some two years earlier !!) and CD2 Slide Hampton&Jimmy Woode in early 1971. Again the production is clearly a labour of love and interested board members can obtain this via ( i `m not holding any particular interest in this onlineshop ) www.redoctopus.at Let`s marvel with with releases like this one as long they "keep coming".... Best, Emil

From Jazzmattazz NEW Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Brotherman In The Fatherland (Hyena Records) Apr 4 Any infos on that ? Cheers, Emil

Boardmembers, as the summer starts fading away just wanted to remind you that the second installment of the Erich Kleinschuster reissues, this time featuring Art Farmer, is in preparation for late fall 2005. As seemingly Vol. 1 with C. Jordan and C. Jones is still NOT available in the U.S (at least based on Dustygrooves website), this is still in stock with the austrian store mentioned earlier in the thread. I`m counting the days for Vol.2 Cheers, Emil

mikeweil although i do also prefer a bass sound "up to the fore", i think we should settle for what we got ( and this is great music). Speaking of sessions recorded in germany in the 60s and early 70s, i would love to see somebody having the guts and start issuing the NDR workshops in a similar series finally like the kleinschuster project. the concerts i know (nathan davis/ted curson/jimmy woode etc from 1966 and the fantastic rahsaan roland kirk from 1972 feat. a dazzling 12min plus version of "volunterred slavery" come to my mind !!!) are top notch. hope this will happen sometimes..... cheers+grüße aus wien emil

Thanks! That link doesn't fully load for me right now, but I'll keep trying. ← After much perseverance and invaluable site translation by e-mail/hand-holding by the Red Octopus staff (once again, it seems that everybody in the world can handle English, but dumbfuck Americans like me can't handle anything else...), I got an order placed. Ended up being a tad pricey (a little over $40 after shipping), but I figure it's two of my favorite tenorists, it's previously unissued material, it's a 2-CD set, and it's a limited edition (geographically as well as numerically, it seems). If I overpaid by a few bucks, so be it. Such are the ways of the Carpe Diemist. ← jsngry, glad you finally succeeded. it seems the postage cost is aprox the same as if ordering from europa via dustygroove. nevertheless, after listening to the music you most likely will rate this as bargain of the year .............enjoy&best greetings from vienna, emil

JSngry, try this link from redoctopus. http://www.redoctopus.at/shop.php?mode=sho...1404605c366a0f5 Cheers, Emil

As mentioned before, just issued yesterday and a local Austrian release. The title is "henderson.jones.jordan - kleinschuster sextett 68/69 vol.1" universal 9872145 This is a limited edition, so don`t know wether the usual oversea sources like dustygroove will stock it. A shop in Vienna Austria having it on stock is Red Octopus Records, www. redoctopus.at and they do MAILORDER (and no, I`m not owner/beneficiar of the shop, but a longtime customer !!). Believe, just Joe Henderson playing "Chelsea Bridge" and "Inner urge" are worth the entry price .......but there is much more in there. All the best&enjoy Emil

Boardmembers, just wanted to inform about a landmark release as of May 25th, 2005 : Austrian trombone player Erich Kleinschuster and his Sextett (featuring Fritz Pauer and Jimmy Woode inter alias) recorded a number of sessions for the Austrian Broadcast in the years 1968 - 1972, featuring several of international guest stars. The first double CD features two sessions with Clifford Jordan, one with Carmell Jones and the fantatic recordings with Joe Henderson. The first cd (more to follow) was released by Universal Austria. This is obviously a "labour of love" and should be supported - but again, it`s the great music making this A MUST BUY !! Cheers, Emil

Hi listmembers, based on infos supplied from dustygroove`s "forthcoming releases" site the america rerelease cd`s should be : 1) Art Ensemble Of Chicago -- Art Ensemble Of Chicago With Fontella Bass -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Great stuff recorded by the Art Ensemble in Paris -- and only briefly issued in the US by Prestige during the early 70s. The band is in great form, with a lot more fire than on later recordings, and they're joined by Fontella Bass -- the famous 60s soul singer who was also the wife of Lester Bowie. The album features two long tracks -- "How Strange/Ole Jed" and "Horn Web" -- both of which feature a stunning array of instruments and percussion! 2) Art Ensemble Of Chicago -- Certain Blacks -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 One of the great ones by the Art Ensemble, and another French session that captures the group at the height of their powers! The centerpiece is the amazing "Certain Blacks", which has a beautiful mix of politics and jazz, in the best tradition of the AACM. The other 2 cuts on the record are "One For Jarman" and "Bye Bye Baby", and the group's augmented by Chicago Beau and Julio Finn. 3) Art Ensemble Of Chicago -- Phase One -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Recorded in France in 1971, and released by Prestige in the states in 1973. This set features the Art Ensemble at the height of their powers, and includes two long tracks -- "Ohnedaruth" and "Lebert Aaly", their tribute to the late Albert Ayler. Since the tracks are long, the LP's got that mix of quiet bits, out bits, and rhythmic bits that was gracing a lot of their longer performances from the time. Each of the band members play at least a half a dozen instruments or so, and the set's got a widely varying sound throughout. 4) Paul Bley -- Improvisie -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Pretty rare recording of Bley in a different trio setting than we've heard him inelsewhere, with free drummer Han Bennink and Anette Peacock on voice and synthesizer. The first side is a free improv, with Bley on electric piano and synthesizer, so the tonalities are as out as the playing, which is generally quite spacious and dynamic, though hardly quiet. The second side is Peacock tune "Touching", very much in the vein though of the totally free first side. A unique recording for Bley and Bennink. 5) Anthony Braxton -- Dona Lee -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 One of Braxton's hardest to find French recordings -- and a pretty out set of tracks that has him working with a quartet that features Michael Smith on piano, Oliver Jackson on drums, and Peter Warren on bass. Braxton plays alto on the set, and most of the album is pretty freely creative -- more in tune with his roots in the AACM than later work in the 70s. Includes versions of "Dona Lee" and "You Go To My Head", plus Braxton compositions 6) Anthony Braxton -- Saxophone Improvisations Series F -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Braxton performs a set of saxophone improvisations with he formulated in the late 60s and early 70s. The pieces included are "BWC-12 N-48K", "NR-12-C(33M)", "JMK-80 CFN-7", and "RFO-M F(32)". 7) Dave Burrell -- After Love -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Mid-December, 2004 8) Emergency -- Homage To Peace -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Obscure batch of progressive out jazz tracks, cut by a group that features Glenn Spearman on saxes, Takashi Kako on piano, Bob Reid on bass, Boulou on guitar, and Sabu Toyozumi on drums. The tracks are long, and the record's a great exposure to Spearman's classic (and classically underrecorded) talent on the reeds. Includes a version of the Art Ensemble's "People In Sorrow", plus "Emergency Theme", "Kako Tune", and "Infidels". 9) Steve Lacy -- Gap -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Mid-December, 2004 10) Roswell Rudd -- Roswell Rudd Quartet -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 One of the rarest albums by avant trombonist Roswell Rudd -- and one of the best! This little gem was cut during the glory days of the Paris free jazz scene -- and it features Rudd leading a quartet with John Tchicai on alto, Louis Moholo on drums, and Finn Von Eyben on bass. The sound is similar to some of the excellent early work that Rudd and Tchicai cut in the New York Contemporary Five -- with that New York "new thing" style that's always been one of our favorite moments in the development of the jazz avant garde. Titles include "Jabulani", "Respects", "Old Stuff", and "Sweet Smells". 11) Archie Shepp -- Black Gypsy -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Original issue of this classic French free material by Shepp, with the kind of loose collective righteous party feel that graced some of his other recordings from the time. The session features work by Sonny Murray, Clifford Thornton, Chicago Beau, Noah Howard, and Dave Burrell. Two long tracks -- "Black Gypsy" and "Epitaph Of A Small Winner". 12) Clifford Thornton -- Panther & The Lash -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Arguably the best session ever by Clifford Thornton -- and a darn tough record to find! The album features Thornton leading a smallish combo -- with French players Francois Tusques on piano and balafon and Beb Guerin on percussion -- plus Noel McGhee on percussion. Thornton himself plays coronet, trombone, and piano -- and the tracks include "Huey is Free", "El Fath", and "Right On!". 13) Mal Waldron/Steve Lacy -- Mal Waldron with the Steve Lacy Quinte -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 What a great idea! Mal Waldron's piano provides a perfect grounding for the sometimes flighty Lacy French Quintet of the 70s -- the one that featured Steve Potts on alto, Kent Carter on bass, Noel McGhee on drums, and Irene Aebi on cello (not vocals!) Waldron's free comping on the keys acts as a strong foil for Lacy's unbridled alto playing, and the overall sound of the record is pretty darn great. Side one features a 20 minute version of Waldron's "Vio" -- and side 2 features two Lacy compositions, "Jump For Victor" and "Blue Wee". 14) Frank Wright -- Uhuru Na Umoja -- Limited Numbered Edition . . . CD . . . Around December 20, 2004 Brilliant work -- one of Frank Wright's rare French-only sessions, a hard-edged set featuring Noah Howard on alto, Bobby Few on piano, and Art Taylor on drums. The group is free -- but with a focused intensity that blows away most of the other French sessions from the time -- carving sheer, raw, slices of sound, in a manner that recalls the best ESP sides of the mid 60s. Few's piano is cacophonously joyous -- and Wright and Howard duke it out with unflappable energy in the frontline. Titles include "Oriental Mood", "Being", "Pluto", and "Grooving". The fifteenth cd is obviously Alan Shorter. Actually i wished to see on or other different titled rereleased, but that`s down to my personal taste. Cheers, Emil

was just listening to the weverka archive - forum west 1962 - 1968 again and i`m very enthusiastic about the music (and the fat sound - super transfer quality). as the remaining unissued material from the featured artist seemingly is not available anymore via download (from weverka), it is said that more of it will be reissued soon on cd due to the great success of the forum west comp. christian, others, any news about this ? cheers, emil
