chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 by the way asked michael jaksons engineer on titok, just what exactly was up w/ JOS on Bad, and the entire story with that. He said that was all Quincy. Quincy of course new Jimmy and invited him to do a session, and then he said he thinks jimmy stayed for dinner. the end.

Love that record. 10 hours ago, HutchFan said: Sublime !!! I love this Hutcherson album very much. He was such a flexible musician, from mainstream to avantgarde, and the occasion when I saw him together with Jackie McLean AND Billy Higgins was one of the greatest concerts I remember....

Terrific compositions and playing by everyone now onto another very fine Polish album Andrzej Trzaskowski Quintet - Polish Jazz vol.4 {Polskie Nagrana Muza, USSR 1965] Well unknown to me. The story about my vinyls from the eastern european countries is as follows: During the times of the "Iron Curtain" I did send to some jazzfans from East Germany (DDR), Poland and Russia my used "western vinyls" when I got a new japanese or spanish edition. They did send me then what was available overthere (not always to my personal taste) but during the time I have also some good ones pref. the eastern big band. Poland had always a very modern oriented jazz scene then. 12 hours ago, BillF said: Music for Lighthouse Keeping Blakey: The Big Beat Two good albums here too!

The usual jazz audience was swelled by a number of students from the very left-leaning Leeds University of the day, who were clearly there for the politics, not the music. When a number was announced "by the American pianist, Bill Evans", the group was booed! More palatable was listening to a "conversation" at the keyboard between the pianist and my late piano-playing friend Paul Woodrow in which the only shared vocabulary was the names "Wynton Kelly" and "McCoy Tyner". International co-operation at its best with jazz as the key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably at that time Bill Evans was somewhat of a rising star and not the creative superstar he is today in the eyes of the fans even after his death. Have some nice "live" vinyls with Getz & Woody Herman appearing on festivals in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 No, it was the mention of the word "American" that caused jeers from the Leeds Marxists. How out of touch can you get in a jazz audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How out of touch can you get in a jazz audience! I would be interested to know how much of the suddenly explosion in more original sounding European and Japanese jazz in the late 60s and 70s was spurred by precisely this, somewhat ridiculous in retrospect, rejection of Jazz's American origin. Teruto Soejima's book on Japanese jazz obliquely references the importance of the student protests against the US-Japan Security Treaty as being part of the formation of the Japanese free jazz scene. I wonder whether this went for other forms of jazz too, like parts of the British jazz scene's turn to pastoralist and (British) literary themes.

Germany had also that "left" direction among the students combined with the antinuclear position of the younger generation. Can't say whether they liked jazz or not. Here are 2 more of my "eastern" vinyls a) from Hungary. An excellent pianist and his group s--- Janos Gondar b) from Poland Z.

Namyslowsko Quintet Ah yes, it was the Namyslowski quartet that I saw. As for those students' politics, at least they got it right on South Africa. One morning two hundred students crossed the road to Barclay's bank and closed their accounts because of Barclays' co-operation with the apartheid regime!

sidewinder Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Another straggler from RSD just picked up. Candid release in clear translucent vinyl (). Sounds damn good though. Nicely done card sleeve and facsimile labels. All analogue. Should be a good new series, this one.

How out of touch can you get in a jazz audience! Over here, Italy, only the most radical left wing musicians were welcomed then. I mean I remember a "proletarian trial" that a left wing audience settled up against an italian forlk singer in a concert. Guess it was one of the reasons I still have some problems listening to some of the avant-garde european artists, their dogmatic attitude.

Looks like they were solely a licensing operation, reissuing LPs from Candid, Black Lion, Black & Blue, and other labels. So it's no surprise that you've not noticed them before. Not much to notice!

sidewinder Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Aha, no wonder I’ve never seen it. ‘Jazzman’ is a good reissue label over here but different styles of jazz, usually European obscurity reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
