Leeway Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 The new Calumet reissue. Wild and passionate music. The reissue is OK if you crank the volume a bit. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I have an original of that Frank Wright - excellent album. I recall it being a pretty loud pressing. The new Calumet reissue is a bootleg; Calumet was a subsidiary of Musidisc France, which also owned the America label. Their catalog was pretty small, with a handful of blues titles and a library funk title spotlighting the music of Mal Waldron (although Mal doesn't play on it). Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I always thought Calumet was a private label manufactured and distributed by Musidisc.Now listening to a recent $.99 treasure from Record Theater in Buffalo. I seems to be unplayed. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I used to think Calumet was a private label too, but it's a Pierre Berjot/Jaubert (take your pick) imprint. All of those labels - Carson, America, etc. - shared artists and releases and were manufactured and distributed by Musidisc. As near as I can tell, he was the dude running the show and didn't seem to be paying anybody either. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 multiple imprintsI always figured it was a way to fudge sales and/or losses. Quote

On the other hand, music from the same session (a track also called "Church number nine") was released on Noah Howard's "Space Dimension", which was released some time earlier on the America label (part of Musidisc) and produced by Jaubert.It's always a bit complex in France...

Clunky Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Sal Mosca / Peter Ind--------At the Den-------(Wave) 1969 issue of inspired live duo of Mosca and Ind ( rec. 1959) Very nicely recorded with pretty sublime playing from Mosca. Quote

Yeah, that's the Waldron I'm referring to.I've got a couple of America LPs that have Discodis logos too. Weird. It's all a mess indeed. Agreed, that track was also included on the Japanese Odeon LP "Church Number Nine" and I'm pretty sure it was all from the same recording session. Quote

B. Clugston Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Julius Hemphill, Georgia Blue (Minor Music). Live recording featuring Alex and Nels Cline, Steubig and Jumma Santos. I think this was Nels' first recording. Features updated versions of "The Hard Blues" and "Dogon A.D." The cover screams 1980s. Quote

The cover screams 1980s.haha the allmusic reviewer had following choice words for the cover (and the album i guess)"If things weren't dismal enough, the album cover, looking as though drawn by a fashion-school dropout, is possibly one of the worst ever". I always liked the album a lot and am listening to it right now Quote
mjazzg Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Andre Jaume - Saxanimalier [Hat Hut]Heinz Becker, Louis Sclavis, John Lindberg - Transistion [FMP]two recent arrivals getting their first airing. The Jaume has a very impressive bass clarinet piece and 'Transition' owes something to Giuffre to these ears Quote
mjazzg Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Alexander Von Schlippenbach, Evan Parker, Paul Lovens - Detto Fra Di Noi, Live in Pisa 1981 [Po Torch]the third new arrival's debut play.This is possibly my favourite 'band' in Jazz and improvised music. Pleased to finally afford a copy of this which doesn't disappoint Quote
Leeway Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 That Detto Fra Do Noi is a great pick-up. I got lucky in acquiring my copy. MALUS - Nate Wooley, Hugo Anyunes, Chris Corsano. Quote
