niels Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Very exited about this news, and I thought this new release deserved it's own topic. The fantastic little French label Dark Tree, just announced that they will launch the Dark Tree Roots series and they're going to kick off with this previously unpublished live performance. From Bertrand Gastaut/Dark Tree Records: So, here we go... Dark Tree Records is very proud to announce the release (mid/late April) of a previously unpublished live performance of the legendary BOBBY BRADFORD/JOHN CARTER QUINTET (featuring Stanley Carter & Roberto Miranda on double basses and William Jeffrey on drums), recorded in Pasadena on November 17, 1975. "NO U TURN" is the first and only recording by this quintet and the earliest extant recording of Bobby & John live in performance.Also, this shows that window of about 5 years when John was using soprano & clarinet equally. And most importantly, for historians this recording fills a void in Bobby Bradford & John Carter’s discography. If you were not in Los Angeles throughout the 70s, this is the first time you'll hear what they were doing during those years! This release will include a 16 pages booklet with great liner notes by Mark Weber as well as many rare and previously unpublished photos by Jak Kilby, Gérard Rouy and Mark Weber. Feel free to share, spread the word and stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niels Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wonderful. this sounds excellent I hope you're right. The albums released under the Dark Tree label (only four so far) all sound impeccable from what I heard myself or heard from others. This is what Bertrand says about it himself on FB: The concert was recorded on 4-track reel-to-reel by Pete Welding, transferred by Mark Weber, mastered by Benjamin Duboc... it sounds great in my opinion!

erwbol Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Is that a digipak? Having those shipped by bubble-mailer can be a bit hairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'll wait for a BluSpec or SHM-CD edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is that a digipak? Having those shipped by bubble-mailer can be a bit hairy. They are thin card folder sleeves, and the disc slides out of a pocket in the sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB1968 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is that a digipak? Having those shipped by bubble-mailer can be a bit hairy. They are thin card folder sleeves, and the disc slides out of a pocket in the sleeve. While that is the standard Dark Tree packaging, the 16 page booklet w/ this disc might mean something a little sturdier (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
