  7. Mojo readers top ten ECMs

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    I have more of the recent (i.e., issued during the 00 decade) than the older ECMs; I probably listen to the following the most:

    Keith Jarrett Personal Mountains, Always Let Me Go, The Out of Towners, Blue Note box, My Song, Belonging

    Arild Andersen Live at Belleville, rarum

    Ralph Towner Solstice

    Ketil Bjornstad/Terje Rypdal Life in Leipzig

    Circle Paris Concert

    Art Ensemble of Chicago rarum, Full Force

    Marcin Wasilewski trio January

    Nik Bartsch Stoa, Holon

    Enrico Rava New York Days

    Paul Motian Garden of Eden

    Jon Hassell Last Night the Moon.....

    Carla Bley Lost Chords find Paolo Fresu

    Misha Alperin Her First Dance

    Jimmy Giuffre 3, 1961

    Charles Lloyd Rabo de Nube

    Miroslav Vitous Remembering Weather Report

    Marc Johnson Shades of Jade

    I'd like to get more of the older material, so I'll be picking up as many of the Old and New Masters box sets as I can

  9. Trane and Monk, Detroit 1967

    According to the John Coltrane Reference, it happened Sun, Jan 22, 8pm. All seats reserved, $3/$4/$5/$6 (Detroit Free Press advertisement, Jan 17, 1967, p 6-C). Coltrane sat in, then Alice replaced Monk. The commentary states that Wein's memory was off, as he said the concert was in Feb 1966, and there is no record of any concert in Detroit that month with Coltrane, and further, it was unlikely that a snowstorm was the reason for Coltrane's band to miss the show. The weather was unusually mild that weekend, with temps in the 50s; it's possible that thick fog resulting from the warm air chilling over the cold snow covered ground (according to the Free Press, Mon, Jan 23, 1967, p 9-D).

    No mention of any audio from the concert.

    I have the HTC Fuze, which is a pretty amazing device, but now seems a little outdated even though it came out just a year ago. It has Windows Mobile 6.1, which, unfortunately, is slow and buggy. I intend to try an Android next. I couldn't imagine not having one of these little minicomputers (the phone part seems almost an afterthought) with me everywhere now. It's great being able to email and check anything on the internet wherever I am.

    Also the Bootleg volume dedicated to the Rolling Thunder Revue might be of interest (and two or three titles included in "Biograph" are NOT duplicated there). It's from the first tour. The second is documented (well, that's an exaggeration, you get a glimpse of it) on "Hard Rain", which seems to be among the least regarded of his albums as well.

    Hard Rain is one of my favorites. Right up there with Blood on the Tracks, Planet Waves, New Morning, Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft. The Bootleg volume you mention is great except for the Joan Baez intrusions. I have to skip the songs with her every time.

    Are these recommended?

    Quartet (Moscow) 2008

    Eight Compositions (Music and Arts, duets with a bassist whose name I forget)

    Quarter (Moscow) 2008 - Yes!

    Is Eight Compositions with Peter Niklas Wilson? Haven't heard that one.

    Yes, that's the one. Alright, that's two recommendations for Moscow, so, my Borders gift card will go to that!
