Clunky Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Andrzej Kurylewicz (piano) with Stanko. Duets from 1986, sounding pretty free here. Quite different from Stanko's usual fare.

jeffcrom Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Kid Thomas Valentine + The Hall Brothers Jazz Band (GHB mono). A 1964 meeting between four veteran New Orleans musicians and four (very) young Minnesota revivalists. Inspired by thirdtry's enthusiasm for Kid Thomas, I decided to spin this one tonight. Do you know this one, thirdtry? Not reissued on CD, I don't think. Later: I'd forgotten that Valentine plays Fats Domino's "One Night" here. I love that he apparently thought of himself as a dance/pop musician, not as a "jazzman." Edited January 5, 2015 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sun Ra - Sign of the Myth (Roaratorio). A new release of a 1973 "lost" album intended for Impulse. How is it? Based on one listening - good, not essential. It's very much in the vein of "Pathways to Unknown Worlds," which is from the same period - it's four improvisations by the Arkestra, rather than "composed" pieces by Ra. It's perfect for someone in my situation - I have lots of Sun Ra records and CDs, including much (most?) of what was issued during his lifetime. The plethora of "new" live recordings issued in the past few years have seemed overwhelming to me, and I've had no desire to keep up with them. But a "new" studio recording, even if it's not the best Ra I've ever heard, is very welcome. If that makes sense to anyone here, I would recommend this album. If you don't have the Sun Ra "essentials," pass on this and get those first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found side one to be pretty meandering and a bit weak but on side two some sparks start to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Sun Ra's Other Strange Worlds on Roaratorio and had the same reactions. http://roaratorio.com/uncategorized/sun-ra-his-astro-infinity-arkestra-other-strange-worlds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 That one is outtakes from "strange strings", right? I think that's why I didn't buy that one because I'm not a huge fan of "strange strings"; an interesting album to hear once maybe but...

It was marketed as a companion to Strange Strings, but it was recorded the year before and with a much smaller group. But similiar musical territory? I'm not all that familiar with Strange Strings, but this one seems like similar territory, but more percussive, less stringy. It has a lot of unfocused noodling, punctuated by oboe. But there's some nice bits as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been debating buying this because I have a nice sounding mint mono original as well as the Japanese SHM cd, but I'll probably cave in and buy it when they release the Dolphy and Hancock titles this month...

xybert Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Bernie McGann - The Australasian Jazz Avant-Garde 1966 - (Sarang Bang) unissued quartet and quintet recordings from this under-sung altoist, absolutely essential group music. Nice to see a release from a local label mentioned here! I've only heard a sample track but it sounded really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
