David Mack - New Directions: Essays for Jazz Band (Serenus mono)

One of my earliest Ebay purchases, years ago. For years before that, I had known that Max Harrison considered this an important record - most of the tracks are written using 12-tone serial technique, and many of the solos are improvised within the tone row of the piece. The composer and band are British; the most well-known musician (to this American, anyway) is probably Shake Keane, who sounds great, whether his solos are 12-tone, free jazz, or conventional. I'm glad to have this album, although I admire it rather than love it.

I believe it was one of the Columbia Landsowne LPs when issued in the UK; Serenus is mostly a classical label, I think. Looks like sealed copies pop up on eBay fairly frequently for not too much bread.

Onward Brass Band - Last Journey of a Jazzman (Nobility); sides one & four. This two-record set (issued as two separate albums) is a flawed, but remarkable document. It was recorded on the streets of New Orleans in 1965, at the funeral parade of pianist Lester Santiago; Cosimo Matassa, who recorded so many New Orleans R & B hits, carried a 50-pound "portable" tape recorder through the rain to capture this music. I call it "flawed" because three of the sides are overdubbed with narration by H. Grayson Clark, who managed Dixieland Hall and Nobility Reocords; side four is the only side mostly free of the intrusive narration. This has been reissued on CD, but with the narration, unfortunately. But it's all interesting, and side four is magnificent.

Yes, a Dennis Preston production - it came out in the UK on Columbia in the Lansdowne Series - I have a copy of it. The US issue on Serenus seems to be much more widespread than the UK issue. Musically, the session is a mixed bag but it's certainly unique and Shake Keane is typically good on it.

The Max Harrison essay referred to here is very interesting read - and the Lp also appears in his 'Modern Jazz - The Essential Records' book.

Mine is stereo and numbered BLP-4173/84173. I don't recall whether I bought it before or after 1970.

Liberty blue/white issue?
