Gheorghe Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 who is on that Jimmy Lyons album ? I heard him only on the Cecil Taylor albums but I am so impressed of his playing there it is incredible. It is the next evolution after Jackie McLean, I mean I could almost say: Bird, Jackie, Lyons if there would have been more exposure to Lyons. Was he too stuck to Taylor ? I read that the first gig Taylor had without Lyons was when Lyons became sick. I don´t like very much if an alto sounds a bit to "sweet". That´s why I like that reed sound that had started with Bird, I would even say I like McLean´s tone even more ! and Lyons fit´s into that categorie. Quote

The Moncur is superb, and the Shepp 'Yasmina' is really strong. The Joachim Kühn Actuels are both very good. Edited February 7 by clifford_thornton double posting Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Paris is Wonderful has some excoriating alto from Mr Kühn, which I do enjoy. But worth being prepared! Quote

Excellent word, though it generally has negative connotations. I briefly thought "coruscating", but that's probably far too positive (although one definition is "scathing"). Youtube here. I dig the album, but it's extremely free and the alto (in places) brings to mind performers such as Akira Sakata. 😉 It also includes the under-recorded (IMO) bassist Jean-François "J.F." Jenny-Clark.

I think of it as tearing/ripping, though it can also mean to harry or denounce. regardless, it’s a fun album! Quote

clifford_thornton Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM I’d love to go back in time just a little bit to when I was first becoming aware of the Actuel LPs and hoovering them up in the late 1990s. It was a really fun experience to hear them fresh without the benefit of YouTube or other digital media platforms. Quote

I went that route and got an LP copy of Other Afternoons last weekend without playing it before... It's awesome, a Cyrille master class... Quote
felser Posted Saturday at 09:38 PM Report Posted Saturday at 09:38 PM The LP's used to show up in cut-out bins in the early/mid 70's. That's where I got my first dose of them - thrilled by some, horrified by others! Quote
mjzee Posted Saturday at 09:45 PM Report Posted Saturday at 09:45 PM I remember huge amounts of the BYG/Actuels as cutouts in spring 1974. At least one of the records I bought had a flat outer rim (not raised). Very exotic. Quote
