2017 CD box WBK 'Out of the Box'. 11 CD’s plus 84 page book in Dutch and English For over 45 years, Willem Breuker played a large part in the musical life of the Netherlands, as a musician, composer, arranger and organizer. Between 1974 and 2012, the Willem Breuker Kollektief presented an adventurous and innovative mix of jazz, free improvisation, contemporary classical and theatre and circus music, often enlivened by a personal sense of humor. From this huge body of work, original Kollektief members Arjen Gorter and Bernard Hunnekink have now compiled an anthology, to be found on these 11 beautifully remastered CD’s. Themes such as music for film, theatre and strings are featured, as well as songs and longer, more complex pieces. Many of the pieces presented here are either no longer available elsewhere, or are now released for the first time, including the complete sound track for the film Faust, and the farewell concert Happy End.

Misha did not think his music was considered beautiful. It led him to accept the alienation..... He loved the experience of nothingness, Dada and Fluxus, and called himself pianist, composer and Fluxusartist. The ICP Orchestra will perform a concert in memory of Misha Mengelberg on Saturday, 25 March at 2:30 PM Obit: https://ethaniverson.com/2017/03/03/the-great-mengelberg/

Sort of....

Eric Dolphy & Chuck Israels Duo

Clifford_Thornton, too bad you can't read the first article (in the Dutch newspaper). Misha didn't understand Dolphy. He made jokes about him. I've heard it all from Han (Bennink) and some more.....That doesn't mean I had no respect for Misha. Oh no, far from that !!! And yes, he wasn't nice to the Dutch public. That's my own experience. But, don't forget, Misha was one of the greatest Dutch experimental composers and piano players. Right?

And in a jazz club in Holland https://www.jazzclubassen.nl/webshop.htm

Don't forget this one. Hard to find.

Me too.

Mengelberg didn't like Eric Dolphy. Han Bennink did and still does.... I was driving home and I heard by Han Bennink, Misha has died (on the radio). Misha was in a very bad health. Although he wasn't a nice person, I was in shock....and I still am.. Don't know what to say....! I remember I posted a while ago a part of the docu "Misha enzovoort" made by Cherry Duyns. Misha did a lot for the Dutch free jazz. R.I.P. Misha.
