Some years ago I was in touch via mail with the producer of Astral Records John Loeffler (german born Hans Löffler). He informed me about other recordings he had produced. We did exchange some music (more from his side than mine). Here are other copies: Kenton,Stan "live" at KEESELER Air Force Base 1958 Astral Jazz 102 Kenton,Stan Concert in Wiesbaden 1953 Astral Jazz 101 Kenton,Stan Kenton ' 63 - Concert in England 1963 Astral Jazz 104 and the above mentioned compilation issue # 105 on the Astral label. Here I like best the period from 1951 to 1958 Part of this issue are also 2 tracks from the famous Berlin Sportpalast concert. I think that was Stans first visit to Germany. I have them all and must say these were the times when Stan really had great bands. Nice to see that also our common friend Fred Augermann was part of the production crew for 3 of those and also another friend Steven D. Harris on 2 copies.

jcam_44 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Peter Brotzmann - I Surrender Dear (Solo Tenor Saxophone) A departure from the typical Brotzmann solo as he plays (his) version of standards here. Quite enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that when he was on a recent BFT, but his playing keeps it firmly out of any smooth jazz cheese. Some of the production elements flirt with smooth jazz but he and his bandmates keep it interesting. I'm not a smooth jazz hater either, FTR.

I don't necessarily equate "smooth jazz" with "cheese" (although god knows it's a well-deserved conditioned relex/survival mechanism to do so). What struck me about this record (or the first disc, anyway, as far as I've gotten) is how "large audience ready" the whole thing is. I mean, it's all there but the sing/clap-along. And that's ok with me, I mean, if you can get a lot of people to listen to something besides metronomes and fascistic diatonic assaults, good for you. I was just sorta taken aback at how...un-austere the whole thing was. I've not listened to Gararek for a loooong time, when was It's Ok To Listen to the Grey Voice? I liked him, precisely becuase of his austerity. He had a sorta "bleak vision" thing going on that seemed quite real to me. But there's nothing like that here. But, as "friendly" as it is, there's no cheapness, none. So, yeah, Do it like that. Cheapness sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
