Gheorghe Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 My God, if I think how I translated the title of that album when I was a teenager: "eine f***ende Sonate" Well, everybody is playing great on this. One of the few recordings of Tommy Turrentine, who is really fine and it´s a pity he was so underrated. On the BN documentary film you can see him and he talks, but he looks very very frail. Butch Warren , on the last tune "Love" quotes "Old Devil Moon". 6 minutes ago, HutchFan said: Tone Janša Quartet featuring Woody Shaw - Dr. Chi (Timeless, 1989) I read the story about that session in Max Bolleman´s book "Sounds", he was the owner of the studio where most of the Timeless records were made. It was a terrible stress on that session because of the very unruly and uncoperative behaviour of Woody Shaw, and even worse, of his then girlfriend. But the music was great which is astonishing under those terrible circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, Freddie Waits and Sam Rivers do look sorta similar. I think it's the prominent forehead/high hairline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it? I saw the review today on the FJB. First listen and I think it's very good. I've a heap of Wooley albums but haven't bought anything for a few years so took a punt on this as a pre-order. Sounds quite composed to me, it's probably not, and errs on the 'not a lot' end of the 'does it swing?' spectrum Seriously, it's serious music played very well by some very good musicians. If you've an ear for Wooley then you'll enjoy it. It wears all the intellectualising in the notes and on FJB lightly I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) An album from 1960 from the popular Dominican bandleader Billo Frómeta who was a big hit for years in Venezuela. Being against the Dominican dictator Trujillo, he and his family left for Venezuela while he was in his early 20s. The name change to Billo's Caracas Boys was a kind of an intentional insult towards those who vowed to not let him into the Republic again because of his political views. A full musical life occasionally tainted by scandal (bigamy, hiring musicians outside of the union, conflicts with local musicians to the point where he had to travel to Cuba to perform while being ostracized by Caracas musicians ...), while rehearsing a self-tribute concert that was to take place the next day - on stage, and just finishing "A Cuban in Caracas," - he had a stroke and fell over during the audience applause.

It is a gas, and "Blue Horizon" may be the greatest clarinet blues performance on record. Ok, not may be. IS!

I am not much of a Woody Shaw fan, but I think is one of his best. This one and "In My Own Sweet Way" are the only Woody Shaw dates I return to often. And gotta get this Boleman book.

rostasi Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Natural Information Society with Evan Parker – descension (Out of Our Constrictions) Quote Joshua Abrams guimbri Lisa Alvarado harmonium & effects Mikel Patrick Avery drums Evan Parker soprano saxophone Jason Stein bass clarinet Rich in musical associations yet utterly singular in its voice, joyous with an inner tranquility, the music of Natural Information Society is unlike any other being made today. Their sixth album in eleven years for eremite records, descension (Out of Our Constrictions) is the first to be recorded live, featuring a set from London’s Cafe OTO with veteran English free-improv great Evan Parker, & the first to feature just one extended composition. The 75-minute performance, inspired by the galvanizing presence of Parker, is a sustained bacchanalia of collective ecstasy. You could call it their party album.

rostasi Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Yes, this is very nice! You were lucky to be in the audience. I see listings for concerts I want to see there, but it’s nearly 4800 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
