B. Clugston Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Contemporary Hungarian Music, Zoltan Jeney and Laszlo Sary (Hungaraton). Early 1970s works from two Hungarian composers--very nice and adventurous.Excellent choice. Many treasures to be found on the Hungaraton label in the 1970s and 1980s, especially by composers of the Budapest New Music Studio (Jeney and Sary were both founding members).I've yet to find a dud on that label. Zsolt Durko is another favourite. Do you have any other recommendations? Hungaraton also did that amazing edition of Bartok's works.Sorry for replying late and I don't have my records here, but I would recommend really almost anything by the New Music Studio composers (I'm particularly fond of Zoltan Jeney). Hungaroton also released a string of excellent electronic/electroacoustic records by Hungarian composers. And there's Kurtág, of course...(I'm not an expert on "straight" classical music, but given the high quality of so much contemporary/avant-garde releases on the label, I would imagine their standards to be pretty high there too. The Bartok edition you mentioned is a case in point.)now listening to Endre Szekely on Hungaroton (this time I spelled it correctly). More great stuff, especially a trio for percussion, piano and cello. Thanks for the Kurtag recommendation--that's one composer I really need to check out. 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.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 Thanks for posting the cover. When I'm playing the record I always display the back cover because the front is so gaudily awful. The music, however, is wonderful. That's a great rendition of "The Hard Blues" and Hemphill's playing on the title cut makes the David Sanborn connection even less surprising. Quote

Having just acquired this I realise quite how long it is since I've listened to him. Far too long. Time for a reacquaintance. Superb music and playing Edited October 6, 2015 by mjazzg Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 Bill Dixon - 7-tette - (Savoy, US orig)Nice! Just have a French BYG issue of this..a good reminder to upgrade to an original. I do have a minty original of his other Savoy date with Archie Shepp.Earlier: Jackie McLean "destination out" (Blue Note, mono NY USA) it took me about 3 or 4 copies, but I finally found a truly mint copy with no clicks or pops or crackles! Call me obsessive, but this is one of my all time favorite blue notes and I needed a perfect copy!Right now: Freedom Unity "something" (Liberty, Japan red vinyl promo copy). A heavy Japanese rarity..a recent acquisition. Killer album... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 Those Freedom Unity LPs are extremely rare. Never even seen Something for sale other than the CD reissue.Destination Out! is one of the best jazz records ever. Could use a cleaner copy myself, but what can you do...? Quote
