.:.impossible Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 How about Jarrett's 'Sun Bear' concerts in 13 downloads!!!!!! I recall when this was an unattainable luxury because of cost in the late 70s! I'm listening now to Sapporo, November 18, 1976, Part 1. Simply beautiful, stunning improvised music. I just bought this LP set for $30 at a local shop. I had no idea what to expect. After listening to the first three sides, I still don't have a clue what the fourth will sound like. I was intrigued by the first LP, but side 3 wasn't so pleasant. Might have been my mood. Either way... I'm glad I grabbed it. I don't think the records had been played more than once, thought he box itself has come unbound from the pages. The plus here is that I can't here Jarrett vocalizing at all! Quote
mjzee Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I don't think the records had been played more than once, thought the box itself has come unbound from the pages. I remember when it came out. The box frequently came unbound from the pages. Beautiful paper on the cover, though. Quote
mjzee Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Enrico Pieranunzi - Dream Dance What's it like? Johnson and Baron are a mean team. Quote
ejp626 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 A new John Taylor (solo) and Enrico Pieranunzi (with Marc Johnson and Joey Baron) just appeared on Camjazz. Along with (what seems to be) a new Henri Texier disc on Label Bleu. Added to 'saved for later' for next weeks refresh. Bev: We seem to be moving in very similar circles these days. As I mentioned I picked up Apti (though I've generally tried to get CDs rather than downloads for Vijay and Rudresh). I actually went ahead and got a booster last night and picked up three Texier albums on Label Bleu: Mosaic Man Respect (V)ivre I had a few left over so I got Afro-Rock Vol. 1 Special People by Andrew Cyrille I find it kind of interesting that the Texier CDs are almost all on eMusic (and some are quite rare) but the Aldo Romano CDs, many with Texier, are not. In a way, I find this discouraging, though for these particular CDs (Suite Africaine and some others) the liner notes and artwork is pretty essential, so I will try to get a physical copy. (The previous month was a mix of world music and jazz): Diggin' the Crates for Afro Cuban Funk Issa Bagayogo's Mali Koura Butch Morris Dust to Dust Walt Dickerson Life Rays Kenny Drew Trio At the Brewhouse Tommy Flanagan Beyond the Bluebird Bill Perkins Quietly There Andrew Cyrille X-Man Still haven't listened enough to the Bagayogo, but I'll probably get the rest of his albums on eMusic next month (no more booster packs for a while).

I loved the Live In Japan release by this trio I just downloaded the two live Village Vanguard Mal Waldron Quintet recordings with Rouse,Shaw, Workman and Blackwell. The Get Go and The Seagulls Of Kristiansund. Amazing. Quote

Hoppy T. Frog Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I just d/l Eric Dolphy and Booker Little "Live at the Five Spot" WOW! It's one of the first jazz records I ever heard. That was my reaction too. One of the records that changed my life. Quote
WorldB3 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I just d/l Eric Dolphy and Booker Little "Live at the Five Spot" WOW! Make sure to check out the Quest by Mal Waldron (same band for the most part with Dolphy) and The Seagulls Of Kristiansund, Mal’s other great band. Quote

The sound samples sound really promising. Albumlink Found this info online, looks like an attempt to recreate Claude Thornhill band material by this excellent orchestra whose works featuring the music of Billy Strayhorn and Mary Lou Williams I really enjoy. This features some never previously recorded pieces. . . http://www.challenge.nl/index.php?group=pr...al=119685583782 Janine Abbas, Friederike Darius: flutes(track 6&9) | Marco Kegel: alto saxophone & clarinet (tr.5 replaced by Albert Beltman) | John Ruocco: clarinet | Ab Schaap: tenor saxophone & clarinet | Simon Rigter: tenor saxophone & flute | Nils van Haften: baritone saxophone & bass-clarinet | Jan Oosthof, Ruud Breuls, Mike booth: trumpet (tr.5 replaced by: Erik Veldkamp, Ray Bruinsma, Jan Hollander) | Martijn Sohier, Ilja Reijngoud(tr.5 replaced by Hansjörg Fink): trombone | Rene Pagen, Roel Koster, Morris Kliphuis: french horn | Martien de Kam: tuba | Rob van Bavel: piano | Martijn van Iterson: guitar | Jan Voogd, Jos Machtel (tr. 5): bass | Eric Ineke, Marcel Serierse (tr. 5): | drums In 1957, Capitol Records released an LP album that contained eleven instrumental tracks by a group billed as the Miles Davis Nonet. The material on this LP stemmed from two recording sessions in 1949 and 1950. Capitol had originally released some of these recordings as 78 rpm singles. The music was scored by a group of young modernists, then virtually unknown: Gerry Mulligan, John Lewis, Gil Evans, and John Carisi. The Miles Davis Nonet had an unconventional line-up that included “non-jazz” instruments such as a French horn and a tuba. The sound of the Nonet was even more unconventional. Against impressionistic, subdued backgrounds, the soloist escapades of Miles Davis, Lee Konitz and Gerry Mulligan defied the dominant aesthetics of late-1940s bebop, which called for virtuosos who expressed themselves with quicksilver versatility. Capitol’s 78s of the Nonet sold modestly and had little impact at the time of their release. The music must have struck most listeners as an odd, far-out extension of the modern jazz movement. But among connoisseurs, the recordings gained an underground reputation, which has never stopped growing since. The catchy title of the compilation was as suggestive as it was misleading: The Birth of the Cool. Despite the suggestion of the album’s title, “cool” was not “born” with Miles Davis Nonet, in 1949 and 1950. In truth, its musical idiom developed out of experiments by a number of young modernists. Two of the main voices of that group were Gil Evans and Gerry Mulligan. The present CD is dedicated to their largely unknown work for the Claude Thornhill Orchestra, the band that served as main inspiration for the Miles Davis Nonet. Among the historically important scores presented here are two arrangements by Gil Evans for an extended Thornhill orchestra, including a breathtaking version of Moondreams (as part of a medley) that served as the basis for the famous Miles Davis Nonet recording. The other gems are hitherto unrecorded scores by Gerry Mulligan, which prove that he was one of the important architects of the Birth of the Cool sound. Edited January 31, 2009 by jazzbo Quote

I think everybody who reads this thread with an emusic account would love this. I can't stop listening to it. Edited February 4, 2009 by WorldB3 Quote
