P.L.M

Who? Mengelberg or Holland? And if it's Mengelberg, why so?

Yep, you're right on both.

I much prefer DANCE. For his current trio (PM, FRISELL, LOVANO), the best I've heard is TRIOISM on JMT, a 1993 date who has been very recently reedited (by the way, the trio, here, transform himself in a quartet in the last tune with the addition of DEWEY REDMAN).

LP?

Yes, my man. My mistake. I thought about IMPROMPTUS and write WHO'S BRIDGE who is a trio record. By the way, I 've never heard MIX. I've corrected the list.

I like it a lot to...

I like it a lot. Quite different from the usual "conceptual" BERNE.

What a stupid post. Really.

I'm not Nate Dorward, but it's on PSI, meaning than it's "nearly" EMANEM. There's an interesting batch comming from the twins labels with the PARKER/BAILEY, a magnificent SPONTANEOUS MUSIC ENSEMBLE: A NEW DISTANCE (EMANEM) from 1994, few weeks/months before the premature death of JOHN STEVENS (it's with ROGER SMITH and JOHN BUTCHER), URS LEIMGRUBER/ JACQUES DEMIERRE/ BARRE PHILLIPS: LDP - COLOGNE (PSI) dealing with microtonality and that I like a lot (more, if I have to compare with, than the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FISH, to say the truth), a strange and not so interesting PAUL RUTHERFORD: ISKRA 3 (PSI) with a pseudo EAI electronic background provided by ROBERT JARVIS & LAWRENCE CASSERLEY), and a killer FREE BASE (ALAN WILKINSON/ MARCIO MATTOS/ STEVE NOBLE): THE INS AND OUT (EMANEM) who burns everything on his way up.

... And you can add CECIL TAYLOR: SOLO (AT 02:30 AM MAY 29th, 1973 IN TOKYO)/ TKCZ 79029 - 1974. I think that they was also a WARNE MARSH CD with material from the COPENHAGEN SESSION who has been lately (and more completely) edited on one of the STORYVILLE serie.

WARNE MARSH: NE PLUS ULTRA (REVELATION) WARNE MARSH: THE ART OF IMPROVISING (REVELATION) WARNE MARSH: ALL MUSIC (NESSA) NOAH HOWARD GROUP: BERLIN CONCERT (FMP) JOACHIM KÜHN: QUARTET (GERRY BROWN/ DETLEV BEIER/ CHRISTOF LAUER) (ALISO RECORDS) PETER KOWALD (BASS): OPEN SECRETS (FMP) JOHN HANDY: RECORDED LIVE AT THE MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL (COLUMBIA)

Its possible to find KOCSIS records here (I mean in Europe), particularly in second hand shop. But it's completely possible than PHILLIPS has started to delete this fantastic integral from the catalogue. About the VÉGH, I think than BRIGHT MOMENTS was asking for recommendation, not for cheap version of BARTOK's works. Of course, if the two can mixed together... The VÉGH's version of BARTOK quartets are available here without much problem. It surely because they are edited by a French label who is not (i'm guessing) very well distributed in the USA. But, hey, we, european, are buying all the time tons of records from american website, I think that you could try to buy this records from european's one (it could be expensive, though). Aniway, you could try the FNAC site (www.fnac.fr or if not working, just GoOOGLE the name) where, maybe, CHUCK, you could find yourself more KOCSIS. The problem with the sonatas it's than there are not so many "modern" versions available, good or not (and it's the same for his two RHAPSODIES ). KREMER is great in my opinion (also in PROKOFIEV on DG with ARGERICH again) and he is the first choice for that "modern" version IMO. Strangely, it seems than the SECOND SONATAS has been more recorded than the first. I have two other versions of the SECOND, one by ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER on a record where she plays METAMORPHOSEN, the second PENDERECKI VIOLIN CONCERTO (on DG), and by two young french players, ISABELLE FAUST & FLORENT BOFFARD on HARMONIA MUNDI. But none equal KREMER for me, including (sorry) the PAUK.

For BARTOK's piano music, the integral of ZOLTAN KOCSIS on PHILIPS is the absolute must in the best sound possible. Of course Gyorgy Sandor is a great choice. For the violin & piano sonatas, the most stunning to my ears are the interprétation of GIDON KREMER (violin) & MARTHA ARGERICH (piano) for the first sonata (on DG with the LEOS JANACEK's sonata and the short MESSIAN's THEME AND VARIATIONS) and the interprétation of KREMER again and, this time, OLEG MAISANBERG for the second (on TELDEC with GEORGE ENESCU's IMPRESSIONS D'ENFANCE and ERVIN SCHULHOFF's SONATA N°2).

My favorite version of the String Quartets is, by far, the one by THE VÉGH STRING QUARTET on ASTRÉE/ AUVIDIS for the modern time (I mean in stéréo) and by THE HUNGARIAN STRING QUARTET, to whom SANDOR VÉGH was member before founding is own string quartet, for a great older version (they recorded the six quartet in the fifties just before their separation) in mono. There's a box set for both. The HUNGARIAN STRING QUARTET (in french LE QUATUOR HONGROIS) should be on EMI. The last string quartet of BARTOK (the six) has been dedicated to the HUNGARIAN by the composer and the "première" of the work was given by them. So, you can't find more "idiomatic" version of these quartets than by this two (and the VÉGH has a great sound quality). I don't know the KELLER in BARTOK but their version of THE ART OF THE FUGUE on ECM is the best I've heard from a String Quartet (much better than by the JUILLIARD, by example). They have recorded also a magnificient "integral" of the string Quartets of GYÖRGY KURTAG (on ECM also). So, maybe, it's the way to go for an "easy to get" version of this quartets.

That the difference between you and me my friend. But please do. I'm curious to see the result.

Yep and HENRY didn't even score. Can't wait to see the final against MU. Both team need to win a trophy or, well, blank season for both. And of course I'm 100 per cent behind ARSENAL.

You wouldn't choose the ESP? Why? I should have too? I don't like this album (great cover though) and I didn't care about BYRON ALLEN until I find this gem. It's close to the SONNY SIMMONS'S ANCIENT RITUALS (In fact it's the contrary as the BYRON ALLEN is much older).

There's no soul in this record.

Same experience here, but from three concerts I've seen fifteen/ eighteen years ago. Since, I've stick to his bunch of classic albums. Even the concept of "Brillant on stage..." escape to me. He didn't play well in this concerts. Not at all. Why? Because he had nobody around who could challenge him and know it obviously too well. So he was blowing, blowing, blowing... endlessly.

According to The "SESSIONOGRAPHY OF CECIL TAYLOR", this is all the CD & LP who have been publish carrying the sum or the part of this concert. I had, in the seventies, the FREEDOM/ ARISTA LP with his flashy cover. If I remember well, the pieces wasn't complete on the LP. Have now the REVENANT (under the title "NEFERTITI, THE BEAUTIFULL ONE HAS COME" like the LP) who are the more complete edition (with the Japanese CD, LIVE AT THE CAFE MONTMARTRE on TOKUMA from whom the REVENANT has taken its material, if I remember well) of this concert. From the two last titles listed here (alternate of CALL and this intriguing UNTITLED SAMPLE), it seems than only the alt. of CALL has been published on The Black LYON CD TRANCE. But I never hear it. Generally, I avoid BLACK LYON CD Somebody (Brownie ?) know something about the UNTITLED SAMPLE tune? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cafe Montmartre, Copenhagen, November 23, 1962 Trance 8:55 Call 8:44 Lena 6:39 D Trad, That's What 21:26 What's New?

Hi, just pass by to say hello. Can't catch with you guy. You run to quick for me. Try to post here a bit in the near future, anyway. That TAKTLOS festival seems to be very interesting, UBU. See you all later.

Right but I think that the true reason is not a technical one, only than clarinet, in a context of a bop combo, had a too thin sound to compete with a trombone or a trumpet (imagine Gillespie with his trumpet and Parker with a... clarinet). Aniway, clarinet play a role during the West-Coast era (cf. Jimmy Giuffre).
