Looks like it could be a great "lost" one found!

[A Lark Ascending]

Thanks for that, Roger.

Ah - duh. Thanks. If this is BBC stuff I may have it already, but of course better to have in a "real" form.

It has to be more than is around ('t was on my blog) -- at least if there's no overlap with the Reel Recordings disc, that is. There's none as early as 1973 in circulation, to my best knowledge (but there are hoarders among the collectors/tapers/traders, so you never really know).

The stuff I'm aware of that's NOT on the Reel disc and is from 73-76 is only this:

Harry Miller Isipingo - 1976

Marc Charig (t), Malcolm Griffiths (tb), Mike Osborne (as), Stan Tracey (p), Harry Miller (b), Louis Moholo (d)

Family Affair (9:58)

Where Now Then? (9:53)

Then there's two lengthy cuts by the Harry Miller Quintet from 1977 (also Beeb recordings), but the new disc looks like it won't have them (they're "Orange Groove" and "A Traumatic Experience", the band is Miller with Trevor Watts, Alan Wakeman, Bernie Holland and Louis Moholo).

[clifford_thornton]

Those are the tracks I have. Really nice; thanks for correcting me on the date being '77 for the Quintet.

[king ubu]

Well you never know ... they're not Isipingo but the date may be off - seems at the BBC they never bothered much about stating any dates and with the files being "around" probably no one really knows the source and if the info is accurate as far as the date goes ... let's just wait and see. New Harry Miller is a feast, no matter what!

HARRY MILLER : “Different Times, Different Places”

Harry Miller bass, Louis Moholo-Moholo drums, Chris McGregor piano, Keith Tippett piano, Mike Osborne alto sax, Mark Charig trumpet, Nick Evans trombone, Malcolm Griffiths trombone (collective personnel)

Virtuoso South African bassist Harry Miller forged his reputation on the British jazz

scene working alongside Mike Westbrook, Bob Downes, John Stevens and fellow exiled South Africans Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana and Louis Moholo-Moholo. As his reputation spread, Miller worked increasingly on mainland Europe with the likes of Peter Brötzmann, Misha Mengelberg and Willem Breuker.

“Different Times, Different Places”, which follows up on the 1999 Ogun release “Harry Miller - The Collection” (now a prized collectors’ item) celebrates Miller’s work as leader of the band Isipingo and features previously unreleased sessions from 1973 and 1976.
