Д.Д., no problem with honest reactions! I share your view of the Ortega disc pretty much (though I still have only listened to it once and as background music only, so far). I guess I like the Waldron tune best. Nice sounds there, with addition of bass clarinet. About Steamboat, well, you know I never have been partial to heavy or whatever metal music - I'll gladly accept some CDrs this time. I think Steamboat is successful (artistically) in what they are trying to achieve, however, I don't have that other background you do have. I gotta dig up that other Steamboat aircheck I have and listen to that again, too. (With couw's fantastic cover, however, this is almost a "coffee-table-CD", no?) I have not come farther than the first of the Zappa discs, so I'll gladly shut up for now. Of that Data stuff, this one looks good: http://www.datarecords.nl/data012.html Anyone knows it? Rudd... By the way, anyone knows if there is a Kurt Weill record by the Breuker Kollektief? I saw a documentary movie on Weill which was pretty interesting (and chock-full of his wonderful music). The Breuker crowd was one of around ten contemporary artists featured with their interpretations of Weill music. (I took part in a small orchestra accompanying a production of the "Three Penny Opera" in november, and - although those who did sing/act were not always beyond doubt, the music certainly was.) And there's that Mike Zwerin Sextet of the Orchestra USA disc featuring arrangements of some Weill tunes and Eric Dolphy on half of it. Strange record, but I seem to like it better all the time. I have One Great Day - and it's very good indeed! ubu

Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters... RELEASED!
king ubu replied to Jim Alfredson's topic in organissimo - The Band Discussion
I finally ordered my copy! Looking forward to hearing it very much! ubu -
My impression, too. The two trombones produce very cool sounds, there's some earthy playing, but Shepp himself is somewhat disappointing, in my opinion. And I LOVE the early Impulse recordings of Shepp. ubu

I don't know about the First Sessions - I don't have them. I might try to write Ayler records an email. Mayber somebody there is so kind as to provide some information on Debut DK. ubu

Here's a story of Debut Records (the US-Mingus/Roach-label) that includes the following sentence on the Danish off spring: I did not even know the danish label had something to do with the Mingus/Roach one! The only thing I have produced by/for Debut Denmark is the Feburary 24, 1964 Ayler date (with Call Cobbs, Henry Grimes and Sunny Murray), called "Goin' Home" in its Black Lion CD incarnation. Alan Bates or maybe Barry McRae (both of whom wrote liner notes for Candid/Black Lion CD reissues) might know more, if anybody has a possibility to contact them. ubu

You know when I come home in the evening the first thing I do is take the frozen chicken out of the freezer - I gotta talk to SOMEbody, no? ubu

Many of my favorite recordings with Swallow have been mentioned (Basra, the Farmer albums on Atlantic - all of them!, the Giuffre three), some more: - Always Pack Your Uniform on Top (WATT) (I prefer this over Deconstructed, they're quite similar) - the new Damaged in Transit - the Giuffre trio reunion albums on Owl ubu

couw, no problem - main thing you enjoy it! I'm only really wondering how you guys like that CD. Geoff, that was quite a fast delivery, hope you enjoy it, too! ubu

Jim, I really loved that cut! Maybe my favorite of your two great CDs! Now let them gentlemen step up and tell us some stories! ubu

Yeah, new year's coming close here, I'll soon have to head off for a good meal with some nice friends... Wish you all the best for the coming year! Good health, good food, good wine, real and sincere friends, much fun, many hours of listening pleasure, jazz and otherwise, and keep it comin' here! ubu

Blues for Lou is another great one! ubu

Д.Д., I love that Bangception disc! The best Charles I heard - I'm not such a big fan of his work on the early Cecil Taylor records, and was never that much interested in his work thus. I found that disc used for almost nothing, and loved it ever since. Anybody here had a listen to the Steamboat thing, by the way? I finally came around and started with my Lyons box (well, disc one only, so far, and the first half of disc two) - it's BAAD! It really blew me! Very personal music, singular, very swinging, grooving. Beautiful! Much better than I expected (I have so far heard Lyons only on Taylor records). ubu

Chris, thanks a lot for sharing your "insider" knowledge! Highly appreciated, and very interesting to read! ubu
-
Interesting observations you make! Gotta grab this out and listen again. Anybody has records of Parker's Electro Acoustic Ensemble? Judging from that broadcast, they're pretty interesting. Is there only that one CD they made for ECM? ubu
-
John, grab the Ayler release on Ayler! Glorious stuff, to stand right next to the Freedom album (Vibrations, or what's the title again?) and the Hilversum album. The latest is probably my favorite of the quartet with Don Cherry. ubu
-
I can't vote here... love so many of these records. The quartets set with Sonny Clark was my very first Green set, and I still love it. Then Idle Moments, Green Street, Talkin' About, Street of Dreams, Solid, are all wonderful albums, as is Feelin' the Spirit. Born to be blue is another favorite of mine. And some of his earlier stuff is great, too! Grant's First Stand and Grantstand... hell, so many great records! Blessed be Blue Note...

all the best, Moose! ubu

great choice! One of my favorite Monk albums. ubu

aric, it's not really a jazz-rock date, going from the one released track - rather a r'n'b session with more guitar than usual on similar BN projects (like the Stanley Turrentine dates). ubu
-
Moose, wish you fun and lots of hours of pure listening pleasure with the fantastic Ornette set! Some of the most important and beautiful music ever recorded! What I got: Frank Zappa, Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar (from my sister, but obviously a wish I uttered...) Swallow, Damaged in Transit (from my father, another no-surprise thing...) and a very cool disc of solo works of Brian Ferneyhough. ubu

Milan, some labels also used one row of take numbers for a whole session - so, for instance, the first tune would be tks 1-3, the second tks 4-11, the third 12, the fourth 13-15 and so on - this practice might explain some incredibly high take numbers. Where do you get the info on takes from, by the way? Online discographies? Or are you the lucky owner of one of those unaffordable things? ubu
