    I got a copy of that record probably about a year ago. Very strong backing for the unknown leader. Definitely enjoyable though I want to say that Sharpe doesn't play on all tracks.

    Unfortunately I do not own this LP. Listened to it once at a friend's home.

  2. There's another LP on which Clarence Sharpe plays his great alto. The group is named Vern Fridie And The Jazz Deciples. Some more info at Discogs.

    Plus he did not only play on one TTT (Penck) but on two of these elusive vinyls. All in all definitely not enough music from him.

    I just took a look at the City Hall site and found the record.  It's only available for pre-order at this point -- with a release date of Nov 17th.  I suspect that's why I'm not seeing it on those other sites.  I guess we'll see!  ;) 

     

    FYI: The CD was released in February '23. I got it six months ago through a German mailorder for a reasonable price. The entry at Discogs was made by myself a day after I received the CD (no offer since then at Discogs). Soundwise I'm happy with it.

    Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere, but the European Free Improvisation Pages from Sheffield University seem to be done for. I feel like it wasn't that long ago they were still up and running... the John Stevens sessionography being a crucial linked pdf among many other tidbits.

    https://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/

    Anyone on the other side of the pond know what is up?

    The website was started and maintained by Peter Stubley (no contact info, though). Since some years updates were very scarce and then stopped completely. About three/four weeks ago I tried to visit it and it was gone. In case there's demand for the John Stevens sessionography I have it on my pc. (never believe in the longevity of a website!)

    What you wrote in cyrillic is ... Dushko Goykovich. 😀

    Yep correct - I've made a mistake/typo. 😄 It is Душан for Dušan. And this is his real/birth name according Mr. Goykovich himself.

    Many of the slavonic names were written in kyrrilic letters and the countries that had roman letters like in my case wrote the name in a completly different manner.
    It was in this case „Dușco Goicovici” , but I think the common way to write it in all the world became Goykovich.

    His real name is Dušan Gojković (in cyrillic: Душко Гојковић). Duško is a diminutive form of Dušan. Me too has a background in ex Yugoslavia - my first language was serbo-croatic (and croatian and serbian are actually / factually [and confirmed by most linguists] the same language - or you could say two dialects - of course nowadays this is not very well received from a lot of folks from those two countries. But this does not change the truth of it.) Apart from that I believe that omitting accents could make a big difference - depending on the language it is translated into. It's not only a question of spelling but of (when spoken) the sound of it. Similar as f.e. a German "Ü" when found in English texts is mostly printed as "U". The sound is quite different.

    Back to the man in question. There's still a nice interview from 2010 visible on the Bavarian Brodcast media library (in German only I fear): Dusko Goykovich interview + some playing with piano

    I have never seen nor heard of this. I'd wonder if it's even real myself. 

    This LP most probably does not exist. Discovered this at Discogs almost three years ago. I've asked Günter Sommer. He even went into his archive and he is 100% sure that he never was part of this recording.  The same question was asked to Aki Takase by the original submitter. She is sure never to have played let alone recorded in this line-up. The original submitter found this "release" (it would have been rather a double LP - tt 62:14) at the former website of Charlie Mariano's daughter. She insisted that this LP does exist but never saw it by herself. I strongly tend to believe Günter Sommer and Aki Takase.

    Weren't there some errors with the CDs? I have the LPs so never purchased, but I heard something about that.

    The "error" are the uncredited alternate takes on the first CD. Tracks 1-4 are not the original takes from the LP. Tracks 5 - 8 are from the Anima edition. I could compare it to the vinyl from a friend's collection. My copy of the double CD plays just fine.

    See also the entry at Discogs which I've amended accordingly. https://www.discogs.com/release/4593175-Billy-Bang-Sweet-SpaceUntitled-Gift

    Anyone here heard the Helsinki tracks before?

    Yes I've heard it several times - and I do enjoy it and shall buy me the CD.

    Or the Munich tracks?

    I have the short video from the WDR which I've watched twice. Glad it will be released on CD. But wether the tracks are really from Munich... I'm not convinced. Munich never was a hotbed for advanced music. Maybe in the 1960s up to the beginning of the 70s it was better. And since a decade or a bit more there are two non-profit organisations which do help a lot. Main reason for my doubts is that the alleged Munich recording's description is coming with "... SWF Television Studio .... And SWF is the older acronym for the south-west radio station which goes as SWR since 1998/99. And the SWF would have been a much more likely broadcast station for such music. Not at least we had Joachim-Ernst Berendt there in Germany's south-west promoting the music called Jazz.

    Did Mr. Uehlinger mention if he plans to release more European radio broadcasts (like Giuffre and Coltrane Graz recordings)?   

    No - he did not mention any specific musicians / titles at all. Only those musicians / CDs which were already available back then and only when I've asked him a specific question. I talked to him as a seller of vinyl in the first place. And after finishing business I requested some informations. He was friendly, open minded and glad that I enjoyed some of his ezz-thetics releases (f.e. Jimmy Giuffre in Graz...). But as he seemed busy (and I was busy) we did talk only for a few minutes.

    Interesting indeed.   The label "revisited" would seem to imply that this material has been released before.?

    "Revisited" does not mean that it was available before. It rather means that the music is of historical importance and therefore should be revisisted. Not my five pence but from Mr. Uehlinger himself when we had a telephone call this early summer.

     
  12. Just got an email from an artist agency which also worked for Rolf Kühn. He has died on August 18, 2022 in Berlin. This was confirmed by his wife and his brother Joachim Kühn. R.I.P.

    My strong guess is that the two titles of "The Search" are unissued tracks related to a Freedom LP release "A little bit of Miles" in 1974.

    These two long titles where reissued as bonus tracks on CD "Blues for Lady Day" in 1993. I listened now to all four tracks and I believe they are from the same concert, recorded in Leiden, Holland Feb. 9th 1972 with Henk Haverhoek on bass and Pierre Courbois on drums. Maybe I'm wrong, but time and label would fit.

    Greetings from Vienna

    Thanks!! WIll buy me this download now. But not from 1201. 1201 does offer mp3 only. The sound of those mp3 is OK but the lossless version available at Qobuz do sound better. Bought me the mp3 of Dewey Redman's 'Look for another black star' and Jym Young's 'Strings, Keys & Thumbs' when they were available from 1201 more than 8 years ago. And a few days ago I discovered the lossless offer and immediately had to get 'em. All in all I'm glad that the music is available at all. Sadly they do not include even the most basic informations which is rather annoying.

    There's a really vague Allmusic page:

    https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-search-mw0002497467

    The image there shows "Recorded early 1970s" and "Black Lion Vault Remastered".

    Also shows on Allmusic's Waldron discography under Compilations, as a 2012 release on 1201 Music (Black Lion reissue label iirc).

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mal-waldron-mn0000665824/discography/compilations

    Thanks T.D. - yes I see what's at allmusic.com. Unfortunately there's no information about the line-up or recording location. And early 1970s isn't very specific either. I would assume that the music's (tape?) source does include at least the personnel apart from Waldron. But Qobuz, iTunes etc. aren't very helpful insofar - to put it mildly. Thanks again.
