Clunky Posted August 23, 2013 Report Posted August 23, 2013 and earlier Two great sets. The Murray must be one of his best. I've this on CD . At the time I rather OD'd on Murray , hoovering up DIW releases to excess. I've hardly touched them in years. Can't go wrong with Bang though. Currently spinning Jefferson Airplane-------Bless it's pointed little head-------(Victor) UK orange label. Quote

I agree that Spirituals is right up there - Burrell is an important factor I think Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted August 24, 2013 Report Posted August 24, 2013 Marc Charig, Floros Floridis, Taya Fisher - Amore [j.n.d.] What's that one all about, Mark? Charig was one of my earliest jazz links - King Crimson again alongside KT. He appears now and then in the 70s/80s (e.g. on the LJCO records) but seems to vanish after that. Quote

Charig was one of my earliest jazz links - King Crimson again alongside KT. He appears now and then in the 70s/80s (e.g. on the LJCO records) but seems to vanish after that. It's a fully improvised concert - Charig plays alto horn a fair bit as well as trumpet, Fisher the violin and Floridis clarinets, alto and soprano. Takes some listening but they create some very lovely combinations alongside some more abrasive passages. I found it in a Dalston record shop and thought it was worth a punt - it was. Not very reminiscent of King Crimson though! Like you, I know Charig's name from LJCO, Elton Dean and Mike Osborne. I assume you've heard Pipedream with KT and vocalist on Ogun? If not, give it a go. I think he teaches in Germany now Quote

I think he teaches in Germany now Thanks. Yes I do have Pipedream - remember it coming out during my initial 'Ogun' period c.1977-8. I didn't buy it because I feared my very basic turntable set up would not cope with the dynamics. Then it vanished for decades. Bought it on the CD reissue a few years back. Charig has an important role in my musical education c. 1972 - there's a wonderful passage on the long 'Lizard' track of that KC album where the music settles into a bolero. Tippett, Charig and Nick Evans all take solos - the music moves from the sweetly melodic to near free improvisation. Initially I was bemused but over time I became more and more intrigued by the more irregular parts. Then on the title track of 'Islands' he plays some wonderfully emotional horn - but unlike what I was used to it had a sputtering stop/start feel that spoke to me. Buying Septober Energy on the back of that there's a glorious Tippett/Charig duet that ends the double album. Again, tonal but irregular. Provided me with very different reference points to what I was listening to at the time. Quote
