7 52156 070924
Music of invention, recollection, and imagination. Images, metaphors and associations that show us ways out of whateverism. And yet a music that can stand alone by itself – the music of a trumpet player who has an unmistakable tendency to melos and at the same time is fully aware that you have to break with tradition if you want to come up with an authentic melody. On this debut album under his own name, Marco von Orelli also reveals himself as a conceptualist capable of creating a unique ensemble sound. A great contrast to conventional stylistic concepts, this sound is based on such structuralprinciples as change and variation, as it evolves within anself-determined system of coordinates...Following hidden lanes together, they are a close-knit collective. - Bert Noglik
Musique de l'invention, de la mémoire et de l'imagination. Images, métaphores et associations tracent autant de voies pour sortir de l'aléatoire. Et pourtant, cette musique ne peut se suffire entièrement à elle-même - musique d'un trompettiste porté distinctement au mélodrame et, en même temps, pleinement conscient des incidents qu'une mélodie doit intégrer aujourd'hui pour paraître authentique. Sur ce premier album édité sous son nom propre, Marco von Orelli se révèle lui-même comme un conceptualiste capable de créer une musique d'ensemble toute personnelle. Celle-ci se démarque des notions stylistiques traditionnelles, au sens où elle adopte le changement et la variation comme principe structurel évolutif au sein d'un système de coordonnées autodéfini... Dans ces passages cachés qu'ils empruntent ensemble, les musiciens sont solidement reliés entre eux. - Bert Noglik

Albert Ayler Quintet
Stockholm, Berlin 1966
7 52156 071723<br style="mso-special-character:line-break"> <br style="mso-special-character:line-break">
Albert Ayler ts, Donal Ayler tp, Michel Samson vl, William Folwell bs, Beaver Harris dm.
Recorded live November 1966 by Swedish Radio and WDR in Stockholm & Berlin 1966.
Liner Notes by John Litweiler. Digifile packaging 49 gramms. Coverphoto taken at the Berlin concert.
Albert Ayler's 1966 European tour produced several of the most inspired concerts of his sadly abbreviated career. Of the surviving tapes from the tour, those from
Berlin have been the most abused, while those from Stockholm are all but unknown. This is the first release of these performances, in digitally remastered sound, to be approved by and officially and legally licensed from the Ayler Estate and the
copyright holders of these tapes. – John Litweiler
La tournée européenne 1966 d'Albert Ayler a donné lieu à plusieurs des concerts
les plus inspirés de la carrière tristement abrégée du saxophoniste. Sur les bandes rescapées d'alors, celles de Berlin ont été les plus malmenées, tandis que celles de
Stockholm sont quasiment inconnues.
Il s'agit là de la première parution en son numérique remasterisé de ces concerts à être approuvée et distribuée sous licence officielle et légale de la Succession Ayler
et des détenteurs du copyright sur ces bandes – John Litweiler

No, it wasn't flimsy.
They might have different finishes. The one I saw was a smooth white.
Thank you for the correct link!

Has anyone here seen or own a Pacific Rim CD storage cabinet? I've had an eye on these for a couple of years now and was wondering what anyone might have to say regarding their quality. I currently own a 2-drawer Can-Am cabinet and love it as a storage solution for my CDs. The Can-Am cabinet is of excellent quality but the Pacific Rim cabinets can be had for hundreds less so it has me wondering about their quality. I believe the Pacific Rim cabinets are what was being used at a local used CD/DVD store (which I think has since closed) so they must have been of decent enough quality for the heavier use of a retail store. Can anyone here comment on the Pacific Rim cabinet quality? (drawer slides, drawer sturdiness, thickness/heaviness of sheet metal, etc.)
I have seen them in use, and they seemed very worthy alternatives to Can Am. They do have the white pressboard finish akin to Ikea bookshelves., and they don't allow oversize CDs in a drawer filled with regular sized ones (due to the height of the drawer and the width of the rows, but the drawers and all seemed solid, and my friend had no complaints. I have considered getting them; just debating whether I care for the finish. My friend had them in a pantry, not an area of heavy traffic; my location would be more public. I think the Can-Am have better finish and are more solid, but I think Pacific Rim are solid enough.
Oh, I can't get your link to work.
Here's a previous discussion on our board:
But the link I gave in that for a source for Pacific Rim no longer works.
This seems to be Pacific Rim's website
But one can't actually find the CD cabinets on it (or at least I haven't yet)

A "nuclear storm," EMP or whatever might destroy hard drives, but it shouldn't affect CDs at all. On the other hand, I don't care what medium you're storing your music on, but it'll be hard to hear any of it without electricity. Maybe we should start buying up sheet music.
That said, I've been buying tons of CDs lately - but mostly because I'm finding them for only a buck or two... much less than most legal downloads.
Where are those CDs?
But yes, an EMP would probably wipe out the electrical grid. Best to install your own solar panels and hand-cranked generator at home.
If the EMP is caused by nuclear weapon, then you will probably be dead or dying, so no need to worry about your music.

It's not mainstream. If it was there wouldn't be either an Occupy or Tea Party movement. They don't need to stay poor. As you say, they can get rich and "sometimes even maintain their integrity." I'm saying that I don't see that here Thats exactly my argument. Glorifying objects of the 1% class---that's maintaining integrity? Touting Eames and his overhyped, overpriced status symbols; is that keeping faith with the people of Compton (literal and metaphorical)? I truly don't think so.
Actually the Eames House was made of off the shelf materials and could be reproduced pretty cheaply. The Eames easy chair (or whatever it's called) is expensive and a lovely luxury if you can afford it, but most of their molded plywood chairs are so cheap they're in every high school. (I always hated them.)
I have issues with the campaign (such as the lack of women so far, except for Ray Eames),
Judy Chicago has been mentioned a lot. (I always presumed she did most of her work in Chicago. Didn't know she's ever been in LA.)
She's in a lot of shows. I meant as a main character in one of the ads. Those have been Anthony Kiedis with Ed Ruscha, Jason Schwartzman with John Baldassari; and Ice Cube with the Eames. One woman in that group, and no Latinos, for a city that is 50% Latino.
Those have been choices of Chiat Day.
-
Ice Cube's persona, its authenticity or lack of same, is at stake since he put himself into this context. The promo in fact exploits the issue of Ice Cube's persona.
On the one hand, you get to condemn discussion of this, but then you congratulate yourself on the efficacy of the promo spot because it provokes discussion. A lot of insincere there.
No, i'm sincere. not congratulating myself.
But I accept that I might not be consistent.

None of you need to "buy" it. It's about raising PR for Pacific Standard Time, with younger folks saluting artists in different ways.
I have issues with the campaign (such as the lack of women so far, except for Ray Eames), but the "authenticity" of Ice Cube's street persona isn't one of them. He even says that he studied drafting in the ad, which doesn't buy street cred.
It's about raising awareness among people who don't already know the Eames.
Since you all are watching it and discussing, it's worked.

The organization I run is doing one of the exhibitions in Pacific Standard Time - a screening series:

He/she is pretty good about doing just links. This article is so short; it seems pretty trivial.

I'm friends with the filmmaker; I'll alert him to your inquiry. But if you have it, why are you looking for it?
-
RIP. Saw him a couple of times with his trio at the Jazz Bakery several years ago - they were magnificent.
Ah, hell. One of the great, always creative.

I read that Subway passed McDonald's in number of branches last year (in the US or worldwide, not sure). Not going to look it up right now though.

I don't think he's a phony. He's just playing what he plays. It's other people promoting him. (I haven't heard him, just read the articles, so I won't speak to the playing).
But your writing, Allan, makes it seem like he was the instigator and is at fault for all of this, when the story I read just said he was playing at his nursing home and getting occasional local gigs. Other people started thinking he should record. No one is a "phony" here; just one person who isn't that great a player (I suppose) and people who thought he should have a chance.

Mine just arrived today, as did the Dixon. Looking forward to hearing both.

Benjamin Franklin was never the President. He was too old by the time that the Presidency was instituted.
Ho! Is that oo it iz then? I thought all the pix on your money were Presidents.
MG
Actually, Alexander Hamilton, on the $10 bill, was never a President either.
Nor was Salmon P. Chase, on the $10,000 bill

Gold is worth a lot these days. Probably wiser to melt it down, and buy a thousand CDs.

The Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra under Horace Tapscott, formed in LA in the early 1960s.
http://www.myspace.com/panafrikanpeoplesarkestra
And the Sun Ra Arkestra.
And other "collectives."
It seems to me you can trace notions of freedom in music to political developments as one thematic line. But then I would also look at more traditional folk music, and the changing economic times that led to the dearth of gigs for R&B and traditional jazz performers in the late 1960s and 1970s. The nature of political songs. Is a political song like Archie Shepp's work in that period actually effective in any way? It's not a folk song in one way (you can't have people singing it while protesting) but it is inspired by and perhaps does engender forms of anger or revolt.
But did anyone ever start a riot while listening to jazz?
I think the link mentioned above to the revolutions (and non-revolutions) of 1968 is important.
-
The Hot Spot actually has a pretty good soundtrack.

Tony Conrad?
Do you want just American or is the rest of the world fair game?
-
Amazon, CD Universe, Dusty Groove, etc.
Oh, the usual suspects.. Thanks!

So what's the place to buy the Dixon now?

The played at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles last night. I got there late, and there was a line to get in to the at-capacity venue. I didn't stick it out, so didn't see them live. Bu it was reassuring to see such a turnout.
