clifford_thornton Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Great session(s). I have the Freedom UK version (which contains tracks from both nessa volumes) and the nessa 2-CD issue with the complete music. Now: Ivo Malec - 3L - (Philips, FR) Electroacoustic, string orchestra and choral music from an extremely rugged Croatian composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of his "triola" record on INA/GRM as well. where did you find the "sart" shirt!? Or did you make it yourself? I once made a Slint "tweez" t-shirt in college art class because I needed to fulfill a demand the market was not meeting haha.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total classic along with "Afric pepperbird" and "triptykon". This copy is my second mint German copy because years ago I found out my first copy had a "LC" code which meant it was pressed after 1976. Yes I'm a collector nerd. How about the cover? Real nerds of course need a copy of this with a spineless cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington: Recording Together for the First Time/The Great Reunion (Roulette/Mobile Fidelity) At first I wondered why Columbia didn't do a session like this one, but it looks like Louis left Columbia right around the time that Duke returned to the label.

clifford_thornton Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 CS Yeh - Transitions - (De Stijl) Recent, electronically-focused indie rock from a few years ago, and a striking record to boot. Yeh is probably better known as a sound artist/improviser than a songwriter, and this is his only full-length 'pop' album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Nice. Now: The Vaselines - Enter the Vaselines - (Sub Pop) 2009 3LP compilation of pretty much everything this Scottish post-punk duo ever recorded, much more thorough than the 1993 release (which I had on cassette way back when).

The Count Meets the Duke. In return, Columbia "loaned" Ellington to Roulette, where he recorded two LP's worth of material with Armstrong's band: Together For The First Time and The Great Reunion. (Or something to that effect.) I wish they would have recorded Louis with Ellington's band -- instead of the other way around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy - (Earthforms, US) partial to the overdubbed solo voice piece but overall this is an excellent record with a well-applied ensemble cast (Sam Rivers, Gunter Hampel, Steve McCall, Mark Whitecage et al).

Please enlighten... Yes, it did. My copy of Sart is spineless. We might need an uber nerd (preferably from Japan) to help us here... No, seriously: I think 1015 might actually have been the last one. "Sart" and "Triptykon" are the only Garbarek ECM's left in my collection. It's not that I disliked the later albums, but I felt no urgent need to keep them. 7 hours ago, clifford_thornton said: Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy - (Earthforms, US) partial to the overdubbed solo voice piece but overall this is an excellent record with a well-applied ensemble cast (Sam Rivers, Gunter Hampel, Steve McCall, Mark Whitecage et al). It's a great album by a terrific singer. I recently found an original Seeds pressing in its original cover, which, to my surprise, is slightly different from the Earthforms cover.

Yes, I think so. There are several pressing variations of "Free At Last", but the first came in a fold out cover with a sheet music booklet inserted in one of the "flaps" inside..

I have this first issue of the Waldron. I think the "rarest" ECM I have is the pre-release version of the "just music" album in an art cover and red(!) ECM label. I think some of these early "spineless" issues are quite hard to come by, for example, I've never seen a spineless issue of "output". Corto you should at least add "Afric pepperbird" to your Garbarek collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corto you should at least add "Afric pepperbird" to your Garbarek collection! Don't worry, I just forgat that one. It's "Witchi-Tai-To" (not a bad album by any means, but I don't have room for it) and the later ones that had to go. The trouble with first pressings of those early ECM's is that not many people seem to know or to care. Of course, it's perfectly fine (and understandable) not to care about such details, except for sellers who ask premium prices for so-called "1st original pressings" when they're actually just offering a pre-1977 pressing (without label code). The Just Music you have is indeed very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Been looking for that pre-release Just Music for many years. Alas, it hasn't appeared. The music is quite good, and the scene around Just Music and Harth in Frankfurt around that time is pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first edition of the Penguin Jazz Guide describing the Just Music album -en passant- as a "thoroughly forgettable session" or something to that effect. Now, I've learned a lot from that book, but the British bias of the authors in covering free music was all too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah, probably true. There's a strong transitional JuMu/EMT LP by Harth and pianist Nicole Van Den Plas (among others) called 4.Januar.1970, privately released, which is also a corker.

clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Ivan Lasso Quintette - Snowsnake - (Dragon, US) knotty Chicago-based modern jazz outfit, I assume the LP was recorded in the late 70s. Lasso is, by all appearances, a strong tenor player and the group is quite fine. Never seen or heard of anything else under his name.
