mjazzg Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Biosystem [Incus, UK 1977] Today's arrival. Fascinating, will take some absorbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 (edited) Now spinning: Roy Eldridge - Dale's Wail (Verve, 1978, 2 LPs) These 1952-54 sides are sooooooo good. And not because of the instrumental pyrotechnics that Eldridge often brought to the table earlier in his career. This music is all about the feeling, all about the vibe -- a subtler form of mastery. I only got this album earlier this year, and it's quickly become an all-time favorite.    2 hours ago, mjazzg said: Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Biosystem [Incus, UK 1977] Today's arrival. Fascinating, will take some absorbing. @mjazzg (or others), I'm totally unfamiliar with the music of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble. Would Biosystem be a good "diving in" point? Or would you recommend starting with another album?  Edited June 17 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 I would start with Challenge or Karyobin, or maybe Oliv & Familie Sequence. Bobby Bradford with John Stevens and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (a 2CD set released by Nessa), is another excellent example. Biosystem is superb but my feeling is that those recordings still somewhat tethered to a jazz or "free jazz" feel might be a better place to start with the sound world of John Stevens and company.

HutchFan Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Thank you, @clifford_thornton.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Yes, wouldn't argue with Clifford's suggestions. 'Oliv' and 'Karyobin' are both extraordinary, and the former is a great introduction to Stevens' use of female vocals, also featured to great effect on 'Birds Of A Feather' and '1.2.Albert Atler' 'Biosystem' is towards the end of Steven's SME journey and as such is absolutely indicative of his approach to music but you may be better immersing yourself in his world elsewhere first, rather depends on how you feel about strings-only (with a hint of cornet) based free improvisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I have it as this: Not very sexy as far as vintageness goes, but that series ended up in cutout bins and provided much service by so doing. Does anybody have the 10"? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Two of my favourite vintage bop recordings The Wardell Gray stuff is really all star. I never had heard before Shelly Manne on drums, or.......maybe on an early Ornette Coleman record. It´s a pleasure to hear his strong bop drumming here.  And the Afro-Cubop is one of my favourite latin records. Howard McGhee and Brew Moore in top form......
