Music of Morocco: Recorded by Paul Bowles Disc 3 - Lowlands

Afric Pepperbird is recommended! 1967!!!

Followed by:

Discovered thanks to Clifford's BFT Now on track 4, "Substance II", which develops on the tune of traditional "Santa Lucia" and then a succession of popular melodies.

Last night started off with: ...then:

fascinating interview!

Thanks! Unfortunately didn't go to Brooklyn this time, we stayed only one night and that was in Queens, Elmhurst to be precise, and loved the neigbourhood especially the great food. As for NYC Jazz Record, your series of interviews there has been great. I still read it even from here in France, even though going through the actual paper in parks or the subway was nice! We went to the movies on the first day of the Vision festival, the 5:30 schedule with documentaries on Cooper-Moore and longer one on Charles Gayle and the Sound Unity Festival. Less people there than I would have expected but we were in good company, Henry Grimes came to the screening! Another highlight from the rest of the trip was the fantastic top floor of the Washington National Art Gallery: the Rothko and Barnett Newman rooms. Great works in abundance that are not very common to see in Europe. Thank you all for the advice, I am keeping the references for further visits.

Any idea if this documentary will be playing in Europe? (and wondering the same about the Lee Morgan film). I second the thanks for the Pharoah tracks, great to hear!

Only recently purchased this set. It is full of wonders. Already been through discs 1-5.

Interesting share! Hunan cuisine is really the most spicy in China, while Sichuan cuisine is tingly due to sichuan pepper. Shousi baocai, duo jiao yutou and maoshi hongshao rou are favorites!

I'm planning on getting this new book, Agitation Frite, edited by Lenka Lente which holds interviews with: Gérard Terronès, François Billard, Pierre Barouh, Michel Bulteau, Jac Berrocal, Jacques Debout, Dominique Grimaud, Albert Marcoeur, Christian Vander, Richard Pinhas, Gilbert Artman, Pascal Comelade, Christian Rollet, Guigou Chenevier, Jean-Jacques Birgé, Pierre Bastien, Bruno Meillier, Daunik Lazro, Dominique Lentin, Jean-Marc Montera, Didier Petit, Yves Botz, Dominique Répécaud, Camel Zekri, Noël Akchoté, Christophe & Françoise Petchanatz, Lê Quan Ninh, Jean-Marc Foussat, Jérôme Noetinger, Jean-Louis Costes, Jacques Oger, Jean-Noël Cognard, Sylvain Guérineau, Julien Palomo, Yann Gourdon, Romain Perrot.

These imagined conversations sound like a strange idea. Would Szwed still be the first place to go to, or this newer book?

Looks interesting, thanks!

Getting ready to leave to New York this coming Thursday to visit brother and family in New Jersey (an opportunity as they are only there for one year). We will be travelling between the 18th and 30th, but will only have a few days for visits having some writing to complete. Have any of you made recent visits or been to some exhibits that you would recommend? As for social history and/or jazz music, would you recommend any particular museum or sights? I am not sure if we will be seeing many concerts since we will stay in Princeton, but will definitely look at the NYC jazz record and might select one night. Thank you all for advice!

Just borrowed the Roy Eldridge from the library, listening to CD5 with Benny Carter, great music.

Australian trio The Necks last night in Paris. Two sets. Was particularly inspired, and especially by the second set, very focused music, great densities, incredible sounds - it felt strange at times to see that there were only three acoustic instruments on stage (piano, double bass, drums), it had me thinking of some things completely different, like an accordeon or strange fridge noises, waves of sound that overlapped. Really wonderful!

That seems like a large musical field to cross from Monteverdi to Pere Ubu! Outstanding program from Météo this year again, couldn't resist it.

Same here. Ordered it a moment too late during the last sale. Really hope it will come back. Would also get Clifford Jordan in priority. There is also a japanese edition of In The World which seems still available.

Just came back from seeing Charles Gayle, Giovanni Barcella and Manolo Cabras: just great! I also brought home the record of the three "Live in Belgium" on el Negocito.

Ya it should be a good place, I'll have to go back! I was wondering if it was regular radio at jazz hours (7 to 8) or webradio. But there is another grocery shop nearby were one of the cashiers plays great hip hop and discusses about Pharoah Sanders!

Will get this, hopefully soon! I didn't know about the Faust soundtrack! Umea° and Strings should be great. Anybody to comment on the first CD, Big Chunks? Angoulême 1980 (CD 7) was just released last year on Fou records as a double CD, I have it in my hands right now and it is the complete concert, has a few tracks more.

I heard a track from this ... from the radio in a grocery store while buying fruit, it was really good!!!
