HutchFan Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Listened to this last night: Richard Beirach - Breathing of Statues (CMP, 1983) Solo piano. If you haven't heard this, imagine a marriage of jazz -- spontaneity and freedom -- combined with, say, late Beethoven, Scriabin, and Prokofiev. It's strange, unsettling, and stinkin' brilliant music. Uncategorizable. I've never heard anything else quite like it. One of my desert-island discs, for sure.

I couldn't sleep the other night and just sat up listening to it. It's the Beirach record where his style really does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar Peterson and Erroll Garner. They didn´t have Bird or Miles or Trane or Mingus etc in their collections, but listened to Garner or Peterson when they felt that they might listen to some "jazz". It was especially upper middleclass people. They always had piano trio jazz, no horns. But sometimes I like a little Garner. Sounds happy and makes you smile, especially the medium tempos with that special Garner Beat. Actually I have only one Garner in my huge collection, it was a present from my wife and it´s "Up in Erroll´s Room", with some brass added. On that one, Garner even plays Dizzy´s "Groovin´ High" ..... Edited October 15, 2021 by Gheorghe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started to listen to jazz he was one of the first artists I heard of for precisely that reason. Strange, because, whilst it is definitely “happy” music, it certainly isn’t easy listening. Edited October 15, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not acquainted with Garner, so I can't compare these records with other Garner's ones. I like the fews I listened to. Sound is good, both cds and vinyls. The 45 original records has a forgotten sound of old radio singles. The set is probably overdressed, I really don't need the cassette. Overall I am satisfied.

For a long time (at least since the 70s) Garner’s music wasn’t exactly overflowing in the racks here. I only recall that Savoy double LP ‘The Elf’ in addition to the omnipresent Columbia Concert by the Sea. I guess his manager Martha Glasser must have put the kibosh on things. Amazing to see that they have included a cassette in the package. It will be wire tape recordings next ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 The first (and earliest) Garner I heard was on Parker's "Cool Blues" where he didn't exactly fit in, but didn't ruin things either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Mono. "After the Rain" would have been a great main theme for a french noir with Lino Ventura: Apres la pluie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, because, whilst it is definitely “happy” music, it certainly isn’t easy listening. I can relate, the very first jazz records I bought in a second hand store back in 2001 were: Art Tatum – Baptisé "Chopin Fou" (WEA) Bud Powell – The Genius Of Bud Powell (Verve) Fats Waller – Ain't Misbehavin' (Dreyfus Jazz) Erroll Garner – Erroll's A-Garner (Vogue) Oscar Peterson – Indispensables RCA (the 1945-1949 recordings) NP: Available on every yard sale in France , but still wonderful music from the 1947-1949 period, pretty much the same as the CD I have listed above.

mjazzg Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Julian Priester And Marine Intrusion - Polarization [ECM, Germany 1977] Revisiting this and I was prompted, maybe for the first time, to check who was playing saxophone - Ron Stallings, now I need to find out more about him. So how did someone more used to playing with Elvin Bishop, Southern Comfort and later Huey Lewis get this gig I wonder?

JSngry Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 My guess would be some kind of SF/Bay Area connection. yeah, per: https://www.bluenote.com/artist/julian-priester/ Priester worked with Duke Ellington for six months during 1969-70, and shortly thereafter accepted his highest-profile gig with Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters-era fusion band. Upon his departure in 1973, Priester moved to San Francisco and recorded two dates for ECM, 1974’s Love, Love and 1977’s Polarization. I think they mean Mwandishi, but otherwise, it's a fit.
