Chuck Nessa Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 After some online speculation about the "health" of Okka, 2 new releases hit my door today. "Furniture Music" is a the first solo project by Ken Vandermark, and a group called Triage (Dave Rempis- alto/tenor, Jason Ajemian-bass, Tim Daisey-drums) is represented by a date called "Twenty Minute Cliff".

J.A.W. Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Any comments on the music, Chuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 No chance to listen yet. I just opened the boxes. I also received a new (Italian) disc by Roscoe Mitchell and the Note Factory (Leo Smith is the trumpeter on this one), and an 11 cd set of the Mozart symphonies by Trevor Pinnock. I'll be spinning new sides for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 (edited) What is the title of the Mitchell and what label is it on? That Pinnock set has great "period" performances, though I always found the complete symphonies a bit much... Edited May 18, 2003 by J.A.W.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Roscoe's disc is called "The Bad Guys" and is on the Around Jazz/il manifesto label. It says "Live In Fano - Jazz by the Sea- July 2000". I have no idea of the availability or who might distribute it. Roscoe sent me this copy. The Pinnock box was only $30, so I can live with 'em all.

minew Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Also just noticed that the Okkadisk site is back up, at www.okkadisk.com, of course. Everything looks exactly the same except for the (snail) mailing address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mnytime Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Does anyone know where you can get a copy of Mitchell’s The Bad Guys? Unfortunately for me I didn't catch the Ebay auction before this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Does anyone know where you can get a copy of Mitchell’s The Bad Guys? Unfortunately for me I didn't catch the Ebay auction before this. I don't know how good your Italian is, but I found this article on the Italian AAJ site: ROSCOE MITCHELL & The Note Factory,"Bad Guys" - CD live E' un grande onore per Il Manifesto Cd presentare l'album live di Roscoe Mitchell and The Note Factory. Il sassofonista statunitense, figura storica del jazz e fondatore degli Art Ensemble Of Chicago, con "Bad Guys" fissa un momento della tourneé italiana 2000-2001 Tra queste acclamate esibizioni, è stata scelta quella di Fano, svoltasi presso la suggestiva atmosfera della "Corte Malatestiana", per testimoniare la forza innovativa e la portata artistica di un musicista sempre orientato alla ricerca di nuove strade espressive del jazz e della musica nera. Il concerto, ripreso nella sua versione quasi integrale, testimonia ancora una volta la genialità del lavoro di Roscoe Mitchell, per l'occasione in compagnia di altri grandi e soprattutto del compositore Stephen Rush, al suo esordio, che firma due brani molto importanti. La band che suona nel cd THE BAD GUYS: ROSCOE MITCHELL - sax WADADA LEO SMITH - tromba MATTHEW SHIPP - piano CRAIG TABORN - piano SPENCER BAREFIELD - chitarra JARIBU SHAHID - basso HARRISON BANK HEAD - batteria TANI TABAL - contrabbasso GERARD CLEAVER - batteria Il cd è in vendita in tutte le librerie del circuito FELTRINELLI e IL LIBRACCIO, nei punti vendita della catena RICORDI MEDIA STORES e nei migliori negozi di dischi e librerie al costo di 8,00 Euro. pressoff@bigtimeweb.it promozione@bigtimeweb.it It might be worth writing to one of these email addresses and seeing if they can direct you to a copy. Maybe writing to Jazzos would work, although they do not have the disc listed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historical founder and, the American sassofonista figure jazz of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago, with "Bad fixed Guys" a moment of tourneé Italian 2000-2001 Between these applauded exhibitions, have been chosen that one of Fano, carried out near the evocative atmosphere of the "Malatestiana Court", in order to testify the innovative force and the artistic capacity of an always oriented musician to the search of new expressive roads of the jazz and black music. The concert, resumed in its nearly integral version, once again testifies the genius of the job of Roscoe Mitchell, for the occasion in company of other large ones and above all of the composer Stephen Rush, to its debut, than company two important brani a lot. The band that sound in cd THE BAD GUYS: ROSCOE MITCHELL - sax WADADA LEO SMITH - bugle MATTHEW SHIPP - slowly CRAIG TABORN - slowly SPENCER BAREFIELD - guitar JARIBU SHAHID - low HARRISON BANK HEAD - battery LAIRS TABAL - contrabbasso GERARD CLEAVER - battery The cd it is in sale in all the bookcases of circuit FELTRINELLI and the LIBRACCIO, in the points sale of the MEDIUM chain MEMORIES STORES and in the best storees than discs and bookcases to the 8,00 cost of Euro. pressoff@bigtimeweb.it promozione@bigtimeweb.it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
