Leeway Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Cross posting from the what I am listening to aka, Steve Reynolds....stat! Who is Ramon Lopez? Btw listening now again to disc 4 of Mad Dogs box with Parker Guy Lytton with Fernandez Mind bending Best Evan Parker tenor on record in quite some time - the ending to the first 24 minute section is beyond what should be possible. Even more than his standard casual brilliance. Barry Guy is HUGE on that Mad Dogs set. I was definitely impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I guess this has been out some months now. Intense and moody. Lovely and rich concert recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to all the sets during the week, so we probably rubbed shoulders at some point. Too bad we didn't get a chance to talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'd love to hear Evan with those guys. ECM made a great call in releasing this. One of a string of outstanding releases from that label in recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigP Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Listened last night to the new Blaser et al on Nuscope, really liked it, as I did the Tim Daisy Trio with Havard Wiik. The new Claudia Quintet CD, September, left me a little cold, but I need to listen to it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 The new Claudia Quintet CD, September, left me a little cold, but I need to listen to it more. Good call. FWIW it left me cold on the first couple of listens but it's really grown on me now and it keeps getting better. I skip the track with the samples from the old-timey political rally though; not a bad track but it becomes tedious on repeated listens. Having broadcast recordings from the 1930s popping up kind of breaks the immersion as well, i find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, it does bring the album to a bit of a grinding halt. I'm not usually a fan of "if you take out this track and play the first track last and the last track first it's so much better!" type shenanigans but yeah I've found i enjoy this album a lot more if i skip the track in question, at least while it's still growing on me.

I heard them perform music from this recording live in October. I had a similar reaction to the track with Roosevelt's speach. I had never previously warmed up to Claudia Quintet and I can't say this performance made me a fan - however I did find some things to appreciate. This past weekend I found a copy of "September" for $1, so I figured there was no risk and picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 The only one I know by Claudia Q is "Royal Toast" , I recall liking this one quite a bit, no idea whether this is representative of their oeuvre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I know by Claudia Q is "Royal Toast" , I recall liking this one quite a bit, no idea whether this is representative of their oeuvre. I really dig Royal Toast... it kind of is and isn't representative of their sound. On face value CQ albums sound quite similar but on closer inspection they each have quite a distinctive flavour. I'm a huge John Hollenbeck fan, and i've found the Claudia Quintet to be frustratingly inaccessible at times. Some Hollenbeck stuff, for example Eternal Interlude, it's like he is catering to the audience to a certain extent: there are almost always these big moments where you are rewarded, the songs almost always 'pay off', bigtime. It's just so epic and satisfying. With the Claudia Quintet, it's almost like they are deliberately being obscure at times, teasing the listener in a way. It's perfectly happy to build you up and leave you hanging. Anyway, that's my $0.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigP Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I liked Royal Toast because the addition of Gary Versase on piano positively impacted the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 The latest by Mike Reed's People, Places, Things is out. It features appearances by Ab Baars, Michael Moore, Eric Boeren, and several other Dutch improvisers. Should be a blast, the core quartet is really stellar. http://www.dustygroove.com/item/680282 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Important Records is offering 35% off their back catalogue at the moment (or maybe always?), which is already very reasonably priced. Not a ton of jazz-connected stuff on the label, but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
