Painting by Gunter Hampel: Inscape No. 6 (1971)

Cover painting: Nelson Stevens In 1977 there have been limited silk screen prints of this painting available. Does somebody have a print?

Yes, it has been deep in the night - 2 o'clock in the morning. Line-up - I complete: Egil "Bop" Johansen (dr) - and pieces of music here: http://programm.ard.de/TV/Programm/Sender/?sendung=284878207977268. The rehearsal was recorded in Hamburg 1967.

Well, he wasn't a bad drummer... Perhaps Andy Sheppard http://andysheppard.co.uk/;-)? If in doubt vide http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/threeforshepp.html

http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/marionbrownquartet.html I can't believe I missed that this album had extra music. Needless to say it's now hard to find. 'Marion Brown Quartet' as an exemple of a curious publication of a recording session!

ticket signed by Dave Kikoski, Dwayne Burno and Roy Haynes

http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/marionbrownquartet.html yeah, the last ESP edition included all five tracks on CD, so I had to pick it up too. *) Now: Amon Düül - Collapsing - (Metronome GER orig) *) 'only' four tracks have been recorded. The complete issue is hard to find and very expensive! http://www.amazon.de/Marion-Brown-Quartet/dp/B000A0GP4A/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1426434512&sr=8-11&keywords=Marion+Brown

The logo and typography are the same as the French Guilde du Jazz of that era. I first heard the Parker Dials on that label (dreadful sound quality, later greatly improved on the British Spotlite label.) Spotlight SPJ-CD 4-101 - P 1993 - total playing time 248:57 Never got as far as the CDs: have had 5 Spotlite Parker LPs since the 70s This Spotlite DLP is from 1981

... listen too:

Erwbol, this cannot be serious. Larry Kart has provoked this kind of discussion and he has got it - why on organissimo, a blog for jazz lovers?

The same severe problem has been here. But the jazzfest committee has resisted against strong pressure from outside the jazzscene. Gilad Atzmon & Orient House Ensemble have played November 12, 2011 "round midnight". Line-up: Gilad Atzmon as, cl, electronics - Frank Harrison p, kb - Yaron Stavi b - Eddie Hick dr

I have sent Gunter Hampel (*1937) a link to this topic. Here is his answer - with his permission: "1964. Eric Dolphy was checking my vibraphone, I got bis bassclarinet on my request. I play clarinet since I was 11. After we both had a jam, he on my vibes, I on his bcl, Eric said, I should buy me one! Some times later, 1966, I was playing with my quintet at the Blue Note in Paris, opposite the Kenny Clarke Quintet. They played one set, we played one set, 3 or 4 times each night. Kenny was holding drumworkshops at Selmer. They sold me a flute and a bassclarinet. I got the one, which goes to the low Bb, which I still play today. On my recording "The 8th of July 1969" I pinned sections with two bassclarinets (me and Willem Breuker, who was playing in my band for over 6 years) + a contrabassclarinet (Anthony Braxton) + Jeanne Lee on voice and great Steve McCall on drums. A few years later I got from Selmer a contrabassclarinet from wood. Anthony's is from metal. If you like, you can go to "youtube" and hear and see a piece I performed solo in the Philharmonic Hall in Berlin on that huge horn. I used to play both bcl and contra-bcl a lot with the Galaxie Dream Band, in which I was featuring a string unit with violin, cello and two contrabasses and a clarinet group with two clarinets, alto-clarinet and bassclarinet. It is all documented on Birth Records + voice of Jeanne Lee a.o. ... and still available."
