JSngry Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Not sure what the concept was, but those are some damn good records, at least the ones I've heard. There's a good chunk of Pullen/Adams/Dannie in various records, some crazy Johnny Griffin, Steve Grossman, Sal Nistico, Slide Hampton, it goes on for a while. The Italian players are all good, so it's not like they meekly provide generic backing or something like that. To be honest, I can't see any of them disappointing.

JSngry Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 George Adams But it's "that band" no matter who is leading, and they're a lot more free and loose than their later records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I'm not familiar with the Jazz A Confronto series (or Horo Records in general) as they were rarely reissued on CD, but Vol. 35 was the last?

felser Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) Horo had some other releases in the same period. The Max Roach Loadstar is great, as is the Archie Shepp Jazz A Confronto 27.

Rabshakeh Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Steve Grossman – Jazz A Confronto 23 Listening to this one now on a bit of a whim. I'm not really a fan of Grossman (or not a big fan, I like him more or less) but this is great stuff, largely because of the Italian backing musicians, and Irio da Paula on guitar, who I don't know at all beyond @mjazzg 's recommendation above.

Rabshakeh Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Any other recommendations for the Irio Da Paula / Alfonso Vieira spine would be really welcome. I understand that they played together frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Actually, any recommendations for other showings of the obscure to me but excellent but excellent Italian musicians either leading or on rhythm on these records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 16 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Any views on the Jazz a Confronto series? They're a frequent feature of vinyl fairs. What was the concept meant to be? Some mention above of the Enrico Rava but does anyone rate any of the others? I've got the Waldron. Nothing special, he made much better records in those years.

I was put off for a long time, first because I assumed that they were compilations, and then later because I didn't really like the Lee Konitz one.

Funny, I would have said the same. I bought them both in the late 70´s at the old "Radio Kratz" on Maria Hilfer Strasse , and still love them most.
