Late Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 Hugh Steinmetz: trumpet Karsten Vogel: alto saxophone Niels Harrit: tenor saxophone, flute Per Aage Brandt: piano Steffen Andersen: bass Bo Thrige Andersen: drums recorded April 19 & 20, 1966 If you're a fan of Albert Ayler or Don Cherry (or the two of them together), you'll probably like this recording. While the music is generally inspired by the two musicians just listed, it somehow avoids being derivative. A very fine listening experience. Sunny Murray dug Steinmetz enough to record with him a few years later. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 That's great stuff. I have the CDs (sadly not the Debut originals) and have dug on them for years. Don't forget the wigged/unearthed material that Atavistic put out on UMS. Musical saw!! Quote
Late Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Posted June 2, 2007 Musical saw!! Yeah, the Atavistic stuff is the dang. I also like when that group hooked up (electrically) in 1968 for Debut. Karsten Vogel is, in my opinion, a shamefully overlooked saxophonist in this genre. If there could be a hybrid between Hal McKusick and Charles Tyler ... that might be Vogel. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 Yeah, the Actions 2CD is great. Electric Harrit is pretty fucked... Vogel's in fine form on the Cadentia Nova Danica LP on Polydor, for which he penned a couple of tunes. Quote
