A later remastering of the same performances was botched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I bought some CDs! I must be going mad. I know I know - it's all on Spotify. But I bought them in a STORE (new policy - no more online purchases) and I was feeling CHEERFUL on my way to an LSO/Eötvös concert featuring Rite of Spring and Boulez' Rituel. Nuff said. Tomorrow night local luminary EP. I will badger him about a reissue of Karyobin. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Oh, well, I did talk to EP and Matt Wright after they played but they were tired so I preferred not to go geeky by asking about Karyobin. So I talked about Brian Eno instead. By the way I love that Mark Helias disc. A lot of shorter compositions and many richly worked ideas. Also beautifully recorded in a studio. If you get it I'll be interested to hear what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I talked about Brian Eno instead. By the way I love that Mark Helias disc. A lot of shorter compositions and many richly worked ideas. Also beautifully recorded in a studio. If you get it I'll be interested to hear what you think.I told Tom Rainey after the two sets that I need to wait at least a week to listen to the new disc. I have to let what I just heard from 8 feet away sink in. The band is perfectly balanced, full of twists and turns and doesn't rely on their brilliant technique to show off. Cerebral yet powerful. Plus they don't take themselves too serious. No arrogancd or pretentious in anything they play. I'm they do wonder why more people don't listen as they are as accesable as any so-called avant-garde jazz trio I know. One reason might be that they get into a good place and the easy crowd pleasing way would be to milk it as far as it goes. They never stay in a groove or a mode too long - they are always looking for the next unexpected invention. No 7 or 10 minute solos over rhythm with this group. Helias was playing an awesome fast bass line with Rainey at one point and it would have been great if they played it for 30 minutes with Malaby coming in with a roaring free bop tenor - but this trio is way more than that. Way more than that. People got ears - maybe they might listen.... I've now heard the band play most or all of the new Helias compositions twice over 4 sets (last night and last December). The band was on a higher level last night. They extended the shortish tunes (they range from 3 to 6 minutes or so on the disc) or they meld them into others. They only played 2-3 older compositions each night. Rainey was roaring last night and my guy Malaby is playing the soprano better than he ever has. There were a few passages that I could barely believe what I heard. As has been said previously this is the first recording or shows with Open Loose to feature Tony on the straight horn as well as the tenor. He probably played soprano about 35-40% of the two sets. Fwiw, my wife said this band is as good as it gets:) Reason being for her is that they combine great tunes and groove with the best saxophonist in the world:) at least by far her favorite!!!

I didn't realise that you were going to hear the actual same band. Well you were lucky, and I know exactly what you say you heard from the CD. The music is excellent and as you say quite different. I think I agree with your wife how great this band and this music is.PS And to come back to your 'giants walk the earth' theme, this looks to me like a classic unit and a classic recording, right up there in the sax/bass/drums trio lineage.

erwbol Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Cecil Taylor - Jazz Advance (Blue Note, CDP 7 84462 2) Cecil Taylor - Looking Ahead! (Universal Japan, UCCO-9966), SHM-CD from 2011 with DSD mastering from 2007. Long OOP, but luckily Amazon Japan had one copy left in stock. My first Cecil Taylor album was Looking (Berlin Version) The Feel Trio, and for years Nefertiti was the earliest Taylor album in my collection, until I got the Candid Mosaic box last year. The majority of my favourite Cecil Taylor recordings are still on FMP. Some of the FMPs are still available in ever dwindling quantities as new old stock from German sellers on (mostly) Discogs, and I have been happily adding several to my collection since signing up to Discogs, the latest being Regalia with Paul Lovens.
