Andrew Cyrille/Peter Brotzmann - In Berlin [FMP, West Germany 1983]

Been too long since Brotzmann has been on the turntable. Cyrille is masterful.

That's one of my favourite JiB releases. I should buy the LP version.

Again, the sound has more presence to my ears, than the CD version. Good though the CD is - happy to have both.  By staggering the LPs from the CDs, Jazz In Britain are onto a good little earner !

The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Golden 8 is quite an untypical thing for Blue Note. 

I got it years ago from my wife , a japanese mini LP cover CD. 

Very fine, but as I said completly different from the usual BN stuff, first because it is recorded in Europe (others were Ornette at Golden Circle and Dexter "Our Man in Paris" and a few others) and second, because it´s kind of a "mini big band format" and BN usually was a combo-label...

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, it's interesting that it even came out on Blue Note at all. I love the CBBB and am glad it exists, though.

Must have been the consequence of one of Francis Wolff’s European Summer holidays and a deal which was made. 

Rearward also put out an additional LP of material from those sessions, recorded in Koln I think.

Now:

I like this record, but I wish it had been mixed differently.  It's too treble-y, giving the music a flat aspect.  Where's the low-end ooomphh ?!?

Chic Chic Chico!

How about that cape? ... Most dudes would look silly wearing that thing.  But Chico looks debonair.

Oudi Hrant, Turkish Delights (Prestige). Brief liner notes and no recording date/discographical information included or in Prestige discography. The leader is superb on oud. There are also ensemble performances. Several feature saxophone solos. The saxophonist sounds like Zoot Sims.

Awesome, would love to check this out. I believe the saxophonist could be Joe Maneri.

I guess a key piece of evidence is this album

https://canary-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-cleopatra-record

which features Maneri together with Hrant in an early 60s incarnation as ethnic clarinet virtuoso...
