Late Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 The schmaltz level is so high that it's somehow, blackhole-wise, a good record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) And now ... I can't tell if this is a terrible record or a hidden gem. But I am spinning it. Jimmy Bowen was smart enough to leave performing and became a successful (in terms of sales, anyway) producer.

jeffcrom Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Ornette Coleman - Crisis (Impulse). In spite of the muddy recording and Denardo's still-unfinished drumming style, this is one of my favorite Ornette albums - a masterpiece, in my opinion. I was in New York a few days ago, and coincidentally, on the day he died, I attended a reception at New York University, on the site of the Loeb Student Center, where this was recorded. That building has been replaced by a newer one, but I still felt as if I was on holy ground. RIP, Ornette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading your post, I'll have to give it another try. Well, the sound is a real barrier to getting to the music. for one thing. But to elaborate on some of the highlights as I hear them - I love the construction of "Broken Shadows." Each horn solos in turn while the others play the theme; the piece ends with a really moving (for me) anthemic presentation of the theme in harmony. And "Trouble in the East" (apparently mislabeled "Space Jungle") is just one of the most exciting pieces of music I know - a driving theme bookending a complex, passionate collection improvisation. Again, the sound gets in the way of it all. But I've found my way through that so that I can enjoy the music.

This album has a catalog number in line with some Universal Justice releases, though no label is listed. Heavy one. Can you or other members recommend a publication focussing in depth on this scene (BAG, Human Arts Ensemble, Committe for Universal Justice, the Universal Justice label...) ? I love the music, as well as the "look" and the "feel" of those records, and I'd really like to learn more about the socio-political and cultural context.

corto maltese Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Philippe Mate/Jef Gilson "workshop" (Palm, France). Have not played this in at least 10 years; much better then I remember it being! Difficult to go wrong with Palm - great label... Do you have Maté's duo record with Daniel Vallancien on Saravah ? Not really jazz, I suppose, but a terrific record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
