I love the Gaslini Plays Monk album too. There's a coughing-in-rhythm bit that just kills me :cool:...

didnt he anticipate braxton in certain ways?

Elaborate, please?

listening to invention(1968), from that soul note disc for that time period with gaslini's big band, it, to me, has a bit of the feel of braxton's 1975(?)creative orchestra recording(though not as edgy).

my muscal knowledge is less than 0, so feel free to chasten my uninformed ears. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The only Gaslini I have is Nuovi Sentimenti, from '66, with Barbieri, Lacy, Cherry, Rava, Kent Carter, J-F Jenny Clark, Giani Bedori, Franco Tonani and Aldo Romano. It's a motherfucker, but I've always thought it sounded a little like Mantler or Carla Bley (which would make sense, given the period and some of the personnel).

Africa! is on my list as well ...dunno if anyone here has heard it.

No, not at all! I was looking for exactly such elucidation. Thanks!

When has Volume 3 of "L'intégrale" come out? I think I've seen it mentioned somewhere before but wasn't aware it was actually available!

Vols. 1 & 2 are great! And I second the :tup for the Ayler & Monk discs - but that then is just about all the Gaslini I have... ah no, there's an Italian Instabile disc with him playing (and at least some of the music his, too). Here's the jazz discography from his homepage:

http://www.giorgiogaslini.it/dischi.htm

I see the disc with IIO is "Skies of Europe" (ECM), one of their best!

And I also have the Jelly Roll hommage, good fun, but nothing too earth-shaking.

Somehow I do remember a previous discussion of Gaslini (possibly via a Lacy discussion about the material on "L'intégrale" Vol. 2? It's not in the Black Saint/Soul Note recommendations thread, and other than that my search didn't bring any other possible hits...

Gaslini and Braxton did an album together in the early 1980s. Gaslini was intrigued by Braxton's title for "Comp. 101," so he drew his own design for the album.

I've only heard Ayler's Wings and Skies of Europe with Italian Instabile Orchestra, but keep meaning to hear more.

His Albert Ayler solo piano cd is exceptionally good.

Magnificent.

Adding a "me too" to "Ayler's Wings". I was intrigued by the idea, I had never heard Gaslini, and I didn't "get" Ayler until I heard this album. The album made me a fan of two musicians!

That's cool!

Gaslini is really something!
