Steve Reynolds Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 Happy Birthday to the *great* Han Bennink Quote
Enterprise Server Posted April 26, 2017 Report Posted April 26, 2017 My first introduction to him was on Marion Browns "Porto Novo". One of the many incredible Arista records that came out back in the day... Quote
Edlock8718 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I first heard Han when I was introduced to the early avant-garde European scene via Atavistic's great Unheard Music Series, and he was Brotzmann's typical drummer in the early FMPs. I didn't realize what a significant force he still is today until I took the plunge and bought the incredible "Complete Instant Composers Pool" box containing their first 50 recordings on the ICP label, which Han started with Misha Mengelberg and Willem Breuker. Some great recordings of Han there in solo, small group and the ICP orchestra! Also 2 DVDs of two different solo performances by Han in the '90s. A great item to have if you can afford it; it was definitely an impulsive act of irresponsible spending for me... Edited April 29, 2017 by Edlock8718 additions Quote
