Hear that, if there's the slightest chance, come to Mulhouse and let's meet (and though I don't know how this would relate to you, i.e., whether you'd have the time, but we're determined to spend a few days in Switzerland afterwards with my girlfriend).

Д.Д. Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Nice pictures of Eneidi. (Reminds me to listen to b.e.e.k.: live at spruce street forum, a disk that I didn't care for first time around.) ← Large mp3s from Eneidi's trio concerts: HERE.

Guest Chaney Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'm just now listening to (and enjoying!) One More Time (Leo) with Steve Lacy and Joelle Leandre. This is from the liner notes: In 2002 Steve Lacy decided to return to the USA. His way of saying farewell to Europe was a series of ten concerts which took place in different parts of Belguim with different partners. The concerts were organized and promoted by his loyal fans and friends with whom Lacy felt at ease and could express himself fully. For the concert in Gent his friends invited a Japanese dancer Shiro Daimon. In Brussels there was free music with Fred Van Hove and the Art Song with Irene Aebi. In a chapel in Gent there was another concert with a classical violinist Michail Bezverkhny. In cafe Belga in Brussels there was a very warm dialogue One More Time with improviser Joelle Leandre. Irene Aebi performed a second poem cycle in gasthof Heidelberg (Brugge). There were solo concerts as well in Mons and Brussels. The cycle of concerts closed in Antwerp at the Free Music Festival with a duo with Frederic Rzewski. This cycle of concerts is documented by Rita De Vuyst who produced an edition "Blossoms". It is a square album in a wooden cover containing notes to the concerts, drawings, photographs, 5 CDs and one DVD with the dancer Shiro Daimon. The box can be seen at http://www.afkikker.be/ and is available from Rita De Vuyst, Sint-Kwintensberg 52, Gent, Belguim, e-mail: info@afkikker.be. From the site, it looks like this set is still in production. I'm e-mailing Rita asking for its status and eventual cost. ← Dear sir, (...) Until now I have no distributer. I think to be ready with the whole set of Blossoms for New Year. The price I don't know I hope to do it for 120€. I'am sorry I can not answer you more in detail. I also hope it will work out with the paypal system. Kind regards, Rita De Vuyst The (...) deals with the high cost associated with producing this set (no specifics) and Rita's hope to help finance this project through the sale of the other items featured on her sight.

I havn't been to the United States since I was 6, so I'm excited about the opportunity to go record shopping there. I'm sure the jazz selection is better than it is here in Sydney, Australia. I also plan to stop off in Japan, so I can get some out of print blue note jazz albums Edited June 29, 2005 by Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 From Pi Recordings newsletter: (...) we are very excited to announce the release of Fieldwork's new CD, Pi16 - Simulated Progress. Recorded in September of 2004 by Scotty Hard, Simulated Progress marks the return to the studio of one of modern music's most innovative working bands; it also introduces new member, Steve Lehman (alto & soprano). The collaborative trio, the CD features compositions by all members, works with each other's music towards creating a language solely their own and entirely different from other current trios, but entirely keeping with the history of revolutionary collaborative bands, Air, Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Revolutionary Ensemble. The street date for the CD is July 17th, but it is available for sale on our web site now.

John B Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I recently bought a live cd by a band called The Respect Sextet, out of Rochester, NY, based on Nate Dorward's rave review over on JC. I have been very, very impressed by this disc. Covers of Fred Anderson and Misha Mengelberg interspersed with original tunes, all played with a great deal of humor and talent. I would highly recommend all of you give this disc a try. There is a nice review of this disc posted on Paris Transatlantic. MP3 sound samples are available on their website.

"Electric Dream" is so-so - dated advanced post-bop. Furio Romano is in the "advanced 60s Blue Note" vein. Well played, but not too original either. I don't know this Ceriano, but I have his other one dedicated to Kirk's music, and I though it was quite unspectacular as well (very polished large band stuff). Mezzapelle I don't know. ---------------- On edit. Listening to Apuzzo's "Electric Dreams" now... It's not too bad, actually. Sure, there are fusionish synth guitars, electric bass and drums (and saxophone sound has nice smooth jazz reverb to it) - but at the same time, it is all cleverly done, Apuzzo is strong (if not too orgiginal) post-Coltrane saxophonits, and hearing a fusion-type arrangement of Ayler's "Ghosts" is moderately entertaining.

Д.Д. Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If interested, Utech has a few new releases. (I believe David gave the first batch a lukewarm reception.) ← Just when I was about to order Nisslen-Love/Marhaug CD, I see it's already sold out. Hopefully the second edition is comind - looks like Utech is not interested in creating instant rarities and does additional pressings when sold out. I am ordreing the other Nilssen-Love, Rempis and Hubak. For the rest, I am not too convined by the sound samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Following the Italian theme reignited by John's BFT, here are a couple of recent Italian listens - both didn't impress me too much. Giorgio Pacorig - "My Mind is On the Table" (Splasc(H), 2003). Post-bop piano trio. All seems quite forced to me and lacking in pesonality. "Free" pieces are not free enough, more structured pieces lacks any memorable melodies. There are a couple of Ornette pieces, and seems like Pacorig is not too sure what to do with them. Reminds me of Hancock quite a bit - and equally unconcincing when he tries to play "free". Daniele Cavallanti - "Holystone" (Splasc(H), 2002) That's early-Ornette quartet type of stuff. Cavallanti is firmly somewhere in the Coltrane - Joe Henderson - Dewey Redman zone. Calabrese does some impressive trumpet pyrotechnics. Really well-played, but nothing earth-shattering. I was hoping for something more original. Edited June 29, 2005 by Д.Д. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hey, I like that Pacorig disc! Not much Hancock in there I would have thought--it's Paul Bley that's the primary influence (though there's interestingly enough a tribute to the Legendary Hassan too). Haven't heard the other one.

On the contrary, there was very little development (IMO) - just a set of quite disjointed exercises... Edited June 29, 2005 by Д.Д. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are good, but the second one, Electro-Magnetic Trans-Personal Orchestra is indeed a more interesting one. Very original music - highly recommended. It's a part of $5 sale ($ 5 !!!!)
