johnagrandy Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) i am obsessed with dusko! having bought from board member Joe "After Hours" and "Swinging Macedonia" i am looking for MORE!!! recommendations PLEASE!! here's a discography site i found, so it looks like there is a lot out there!! http://www.cosmicsounds-london.com/DUSKO/goykovic.html http://www.cosmicsounds-london.com/DUSKO/bio.htm What is mind-blowing about this bio is that not once is Larry Vuckovich mentioned. How can one of the two greatest Serbian jazz musicians be left out? From the Dusko bio: "1997 saw the release of the 2-CD set "Balkan Blue", another high point in his career." ... but: 1980 saw the release of Vuckovich's "Blue Balkan" (with Hutcherson playing the long complex heads from memory after one listen - 'cause he forgot to bring the sheet music ! ... shades of Woody !) 2000 saw the release of Vuckovich's "Blue Balkan : Then And Now" Larry's bio does not share the same flaw: http://www.larryvuckovich.com/biog.htm "Besides touring with Hendricks, in the late '60s Larry led the house band at what was then Germany's top jazz club, The Domicile, in Munich. In that role, he backed visiting jazz greats including Lucky Thompson, Slide Hampton, Pony Poindexter, Clifford Jordan, and Dusko Goykovich. Larry was a member of Dusko's International Quintet, recording a live album with the Quintet at the Domicle. It was also at the Domicile in Munich where he worked with the master drummer Philly Joe Jones, with whom he went on to tour Europe (see the Gallery shots here). He also performed with Dexter Gordon in Austria and in Copenhagen at the famous Montmartre jazz club." Edited February 4, 2006 by johnagrandy Quote

JSngry Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Had a chance to hear this one today, and it's a swell session: http://www.cosmicsounds-london.com/DUSKO/birdland.htm No idea how to get it though. It's a Japanese disc, and all I got was a loaner. But if you come across it somewhere, carpe diem. Gianni Basso is sweet on this one! Quote
EKE BBB Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Besides "Ten to two blues", retitled "After hours" in non-Spanish reissues, and already mentioned, there´s another disc with Tete Montoliu that is at least as good: "It´s about blues time" . Quote
Bright Moments Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 here are the latest additions to my collection!!!!! here is nada jovic for the uninitiated! Quote
Bright Moments Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Posted August 11, 2007 enjoyed this one today!! NEED MORE DUSKO!!!!! Quote
sidewinder Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Not to forget the two sessions recorded in London for the boys at Mole Jazz in the mid-80s on the short-lived Hot House label: Edited August 11, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
king ubu Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 I fairly recently picked up "Swinging Macedonia" - great one! The Nathan Davis looks good - I've liked what little I've heard of his (mainly the "Two Originals" MPS disc from the late 90s) - who's on that one, besides Dusko? The Nada Jovic disc pictured above I have, too, as well as the Ensayo version of "After Hours" (titled "Ten to Two Blues"). There's another fine album done a day before "AFter Hours" with Ferdinand Povel added on tenor, "It's About Blues Time". I think there's been a Freshsound CD issue of that one - here's the cover (tough to find online, hence my own saved jpg): By the way, right now, a short 1971 show of Dusko's is running on dime (courtesy of yours truly), for those interested...

Eloe Omoe Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Sony Italy has recently reissued the extremely rare Slavic Mood, which came out in 1975 on Vista, a short-lived subsidiary of Italian RCA. Here's the details: Dusko Govkovich (tp), Ben Thompson (ts,ss), Vince Benedetti (p), Joe Nay (b), Andy Scherrer (ds), Rome, October 24 & 25, 1974 [ 1] Slavic Mood [ 2] Got No Money [ 3] No Love Without Tears [ 4] Old Fisherman's Daughter [ 5] Kosmet [ 6] East Of Montenegro [ 7] Flying Rome Quote
king ubu Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Is that Andy Scherrer the tenor sax and piano player? Didn't know he also was good enough to record on drums! Wow! Who's Ben Thompson, never heard of him... Quote
Eloe Omoe Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Is that Andy Scherrer the tenor sax and piano player? Didn't know he also was good enough to record on drums! Wow! Who's Ben Thompson, never heard of him... I've always thought that the credits on the LP are wrong (I have the original vinyl, and the CD reissue is an exact reproduction). I guess that Scherrer is playing saxophone, and that the mysterious Ben Thompson is on drums. Next time I see Dusko (he plays in Italy quite often, having a group with Gianni Basso) I'm going to ask him. Quote
Eloe Omoe Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) By the way, this is what came out on RCA Vista (the label lasted only a couple of months: most of these LPs came out in May, 1975...) and has never been reissued, except the Goykovich and (I think) the Lacy: TPL1-1082 Mario Schiano/Marcello Melis Perdas de fogu (with Don Pullen, Sheila Jordan, Ray Mantilla, Jerome Cooper). This is a great record. TPL1-1097 Steve Lacy Flakes TPL1-1113 Patrizia Scascitelli Ballata TPL1-1114 Maurizio Giammarco / Andrea Centazzo Davanti e oltre la soglia TPL1-1115 Dusko Goykovich Slavic mood TPL1-1116 Enrico Rava Pupa o crisalide (with John Abercrombie, Jack DeJohnette, Jeanne Lee and many others; the remaining tracks from this album came out later on "Quotation Marks" for Japo) TPL1-1117 Mario Schiano Partenza di Pulcinella per la luna TPL1-1149 Gato Barbieri/Luis Enriquez Bacalov Desbandes Edited August 12, 2007 by Eloe Omoe Quote

king ubu Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 giving this one a spin again: you'll love this, BM - get yourself a copy! it's a collection of latin tracks, dusko often muted, his mellow sound and lyrical delivery perfectly backed by Ferenc Snetberger on acoustic guitar (a Hungarian born into a Sinti/Roma family), Martin Gjakonovski (from Macedonia, I know him from Antonio Farao's trio, mainly) on double bass, and Jarrod Cagwin (member of Rabih Abou-Khalil's badn for quite some years now) on drums. The quartet plays compositions by Jobim, Mihanovich, one by Heitor Villa-Lobos, and some Dusko originals. Quote
king ubu Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 some more info: http://www.enjarecords.com/cd.php?nr=ENJ-9473 and here Quote
brownie Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 I'll pay more attention to that Samba del Mar CD from Dusko. It pops up pretty often in the shops here! Thanks for the recommendation! Quote
king ubu Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 I'll pay more attention to that Samba del Mar CD from Dusko. It pops up pretty often in the shops here! Thanks for the recommendation! Snetberger may be familiar from his work with Markus Stockhausen (Karlheinz' son, a fine trumpet player - I once saw him in concert with Dhafer Youssef). It's really special to have that much purer guitar sound (I assume it's some kind of acoustic-electric guitar he plays, a plugged in acoustic guitar, or otherwise he's very closely miked, it's nothing like "spanish" or "classical" guitar, but nothing like your usual electric guitar, either). There's a follow-up album called "Samba Tzigane", Dusko's latest. I haven't heard it, but I shall try and get an earful at a store some day: DUSKO GOYKOVICH SAMBA TZIGANE ORDER NO. ENJ-9489 2 Dusko Goykovich trumpet, flugelhorn Ferenc Snétberger guitar Márcio Tubino flutes Céline Rudolph vocal Martin Gjakonovski bass Jarrod Cagwin drums, percussion 1. Samba Tzigane 06:54 | 2. Melodia Sentimental 04:59 | 3. Menina Moça 07:08 | 4. O Grande Amor 06:16 | 5. A Descoberta De Lentidao 03:43 | 6. Trio Loco 03:04 | 7. Samba Triste 04:13 | 8. Coraçao Do Sul 03:31 | 9. Five O'clock In The Morning 05:13 | 10. Éste Seu Olhar 03:42 | 11. Every Day And Every Night I Dream Of You 07:30 Total time: 56'13 Quote
Bright Moments Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 i'll have to check it out! thanks ubu!!! Quote
