Д.Д. Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Looks like Peeter Uuskyla to me. That cracked me up. I'm sure Tesh gets that comment all of the time. Was laughing like insane for five minutes imagining John Tesh being asked at every concert and receiving e-mails from all over the world about whether he is related to Peeter Uuskyla.

I actually don't think I've ever really heard Tesh's music. On the other hand, I lived in States for 2 years, so I guess I couldn't have avoided it completely...

I checked Tesh's website- he does not seem to be playing live too much, so my chances of seeing him live are quite limited. But he has a an on-line message board...

John B Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm just starting to listen to Rashied Ali / Arthur Rhames - The Dynamin Duo: Remember Trane and Bird. Instead of liner notes, the first 17 minute track is Rashied Ali remniscing about Rhames and their experiences playing together. This set was recorded live in Willisau in 1981 and is primarily composed of songs TRane wrote or was known for playing as well as Ali and Rhames' homage to Bird. I'll post thoughts as soon as I have a chance to digest this music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 (edited) I mentioned a while back that Dennis Gonzalez has a new disc coming out this month called Nile River Suite, with Henry Grimes - bass, Sabir Mateen - reeds, Roy Campbell, Jr. - trumpet andMichael "T.A." Thompson - drums. Dennis has now updated his website to explain that this will be "an extremely limited edition," so, if you are interested in hearing this, I would recommend ordering a copy asap. I will be pre-ordering tonight and will post my thoughts as soon as the discs arrive. $12 direct from Dennis. I am on a fence regarding this one. One one hand - GIonzalez and Grimes how I am very interested to hear (any other recordings after his comeback? - I don't know any); one hte other hand -ROy Campbell who I don't care about and Sabir Mateen who I cannot stand (and mnore and more so since I got otherwise excellent mark WHitecage CDs with annoyingly banal contributions buy Mateen). So I rely on your in-depth analysis, John. Edited June 17, 2004 by Д.Д. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Well, after reading all your morally valuable posts regarding Piet Brutsmon and the end of the world and considering pros and cons, considering morals and ethics, I guess I log out now for good, go pray a bit and then spin "Last Exit" and wait for the big bang to arrive (latest tomorrow is my most optimist prognosis)... Good night everybody, hope to meet some again later once I roast in hell... (I hope to join Ulyss, not the Joyce-one, but the Ulyss of the "Divina commedia") ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Listening to Martin Siewert / Martin Brandlmayr "Too Beautiful to Burn" (Erstwhile, 2003) and enjoying it quite a bit. Will have to listen again to be able to write in greater detail, but this is good stuff, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 DORGON Who he? With the exception of a disc with his old fast-cut band Dim Sum Clip Job, released on John Zorn's Avant, the work of New York saxophonist Gordon Knauer, aka Dorgon, aka Mr Dorgon, aka DJ $Shot, is to be found primarily on his own Jumbo Records. In duos with drummer Laura Cromwell and bassist William Parker, with his quintet or by his lonesome, Knauer has staked out a rocky bit of terrain for himself within the worlds of experiment and drone. His compositions are never fast and his ideas never simple. While they might be trying at first, over close to a dozen releases he has shown that he has a vision to chase. The respected British music magazine The Wire has likened Knauer to Ayler, Brotzmann and Ware, said Cromwell's drumming is "ostensibly artless, shrewdly anit-jazz" and that the duo has a "folkloric pithiness light years away from the scorching virtuosity with which John Coltrane and Rashied Ali degined the terms for this instrumental match." The New York Times said "How far can you trust a guy named Dorgon." SQUIDCO Gotta love the cover artwork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 (edited) DORGON Who he? I have one of his discs (I think it's called "Dorgon y Su Grupo" - and beleive me, its packaging is much less elaborate than the that of the ones you are posting). I hated it on a first listen - sounded silly, primitive and senseless (I think there were several "conceptual" compositions/improvisations in vibrophone-bass-saxophones-drums format), but something made me listen to it for the second time and I found it much more interesting and involving the second time around - the sillyness and repetitiveness of compositions started to make sense, and it all seemed nearly charming. Still I don't hink I finished listening to the CD. Means I need to find it and listen to it for the third time. Nothing reminding of Brötzmann or Ayler or Ware on this disc, btw. Jumbo releases seem to be available from themusicresource for just $9"a piece. I think this is where I got my Dorgon treasure from. Edited June 18, 2004 by Д.Д.

Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Archie Shepp - The Way Ahead - Impulse! I love this album from the earlier days of free jazz - just listen to the first track, "Damn If I Know (The Stroller)"; that's what the blues are all about. I love The Way Ahead. Beautiful Album. I finally got this one (wonderfully sounding Japanese version.. but no bonus tracks (why? why?) - a great one. Probably the best Shepp I've heard (I don't have too much, I have to admit).

Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I have no Shepp. What kind of loser am I? I am pretty sure that HatHut will reissue Shepp-Roach duo in a forseable future - and knowing your Hat fetish, it is inevitable you'll hear Shepp sooner or later. But you shouldn't wait till then. Go for The Way Ahead or this one: Japanese-only reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Anybody knows tis one by chance: Dave Holland / Barre Phillips "Music from Two Basses" (ECM, 1971). I see it's just been reissued on CD in Japan (with corresponding price). Barre Phillips is one of my favorite bassists (his solo CD Camouflage (Victo) is my favorite solo bass record... Dave Holland is no slouch either... but the price... Listened. Amazing. This one will certainly become one of the most often listened-to discs of the following year. If I were a bassist I would listen to it standing on my knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Do you know if there have been any remastering by the japanese of JUJU since? Yes, there was: UCCI-9021 Archie Shepp: The Magic of Ju-Ju - released 3-4 years ago in 24-bit remastering. Might be not so easy to find now. If you are interested, I'd recommend contacting Hiroshi Tanno at hiroshi@earlyrecords.com - super-fast service and reasonable prices.

Hmmmm.... I am now listening to this disc: Mujician - Colours Fulfilled featuring Tony Levin, Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall and Paul Rogers. Fantastic music! Not as fiery and furious as I had expected. There are some wild moments but, so far (track #2) I have a great sense of a huge power barely kept restrained, as if they are ready to explode at a moments notice. Very interesting music and great playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
