Funny Rat

Bagged me one. Do I like it as much as 21st Century Texts and The Short Form? Don't yet know...

In case you can't see its ConSequences, Raphe Malik, on eremite.

ONJO plays Eric Dolphy's 'OUT TO LUNCH'

I see this is now listed on the doubt music web site.

There was a torrent of a Pit Inn show recorded earlier this year over at the Dime. It sounded GREAT. I'm really looking forward to this one.

[jon abbey]

just FYI, as I wrote on JC, this isn't actually out until December 11. ErstDist will have it for $18, DMG for $21 or $22. I have an advance of it, very curious to see how people react.

great cover, hadn't seen that before, thanks for posting it, Jim!

I picked up a copy of ConSequences a while back from Ecstatic Yod. Looks like it's still available from Yod for $16, in case anyone's interested.

Funny, ConSequences was gathering dust on my sales list before it finally sold. No one here seemed to be interested, even though it wasn't very expensive...

recorded 4 & 5 february, 2004, at the loft, köln

the 2nd release on brö since the label's 2003 revival presents a

continuation of one of the great duos in free music history, peter brötzmann

& han bennink. brötzmann organized a series of concerts with bennink in

early 2004 for the ultimate purpose of capturing these moments, their

first duo music on record since 1980's atsugi concert. the particular

chemistry & poetry b/t these two old friends is still furiously alive;

but the accumulation of experience & years by both artists brings new

areas of consideration. this is brötzmann /bennink music formulated at

once more carefully & more freely; every gesture here sounds earned,

decisive, vital.

as with brö 3, the record itself is pressed on real audiophile 180 gram

vinyl by RTI. artwork by both brötzmann & bennink, jackets

silk-screened by siwa records, oregon, u.s.a., in a numbered edition of 999. there

is a shipping/handling charge for brö products on all domestic &

foreign orders. orders w/in the u.s.: first class shipping rates will depend

on your zip code, please include it when ordering. media rate is a flat

rate of $3.50. insurance is optional & costs an additional $1.30. we

will not "guarantee" brös sent w/o insurance. canadian & overseas orders,

we will quote you a shipping price based on your preferred shipping

method.

still a few copies avail. of the peter brotzmann discography, compiled

by kouichi ohshima.

7x10", 55 page illustrated discography, paperback, glossy stock cover,

quite nice.

I wonder if Brotz is going to be releasing as many albums this year as he did in '04?

Off the top of my head I believe you are correct. The reissue of Schwarzwaldfahrt on Atavistic's UMS contains an extra disc of unreleased material, too.

I think this is Vandermark's year. So far, in 2005, he has released:

Ken Vandermark feat. Marcin Oleś & Bartłomiej Brat Oleś -Ideas

V5 - The Color of Memory (2cd)

V5 - Alchemia (12cd)

Territory Band 4 - Company Switch (2cd)

FME - Cuts

FME - Live at the Glen Miller Cafe

Free Fall - Amsterdam Funk

Brotzmann Tentet - Be Music, Night

Hoxha - s/t

That is 22 discs...can any other artists top that in 2005?

(details taken from this Vandermark discography.)

Edited November 18, 2005 by John B

[Gary]

Even Anthony Braxton cant top that just looking at AMG , the Leo site & http://www.restructures.net/BraxDisco/brax...discography.htm all I can find is 14

I think I'm right in saying that Braxton's only the composer here, rather than appearing as performer...

[Gary]

you're right

[John B]

I missed one. Vandermark has released at least 23 discs this year:

only available as part of a $300 V5: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL Poster Boxset

There is one Brötzmann release on Kilogram records:

North Quartet - "Malamute"

Peter Brötzmann - alto & tenor saxophones, metal Bb clarinet

Mikolaj Trzaska - alto & C melody saxophones & bass clarinet

Peter Friis Nielsen - bass

Peeter Uuskyla - drums

An (14 minute!) MP3 here sounds GOOD (don't take this praise coming from me lightly - I have been severaly over-Brötzmann'd recently, growing less and less interested in his recent output: his solo "Petrogliphs" (Long Arms) is total bullshit, and his playing with Eneidi's trio on "Live at the Spruce street Forum" (Boticelli) is all just an exercise in mindless clichés).

Good to see a critical note about Brötzmann. I've been hearing "mindless clichés" in his playing for some time now (even in quite a few of his older efforts), and I thought it was me...

Hans, my opinion of Brötzmann's music became much critical after I heard his discs which were simply on the different level compared to everythng I had heard from him before 14 love poems and Live in Berlin - '71. Both of these are among my favorite CDs right now, and here you can hear Brötzmann at his very best - diverse, creative, thoughtful and challenging himslef. Many of the other Brötzmann's discs sound like little bits were sampled out of either of the twoe records and looped for 45 minutes...

Thinking of it, I thought No one ever works alone by Sonore (Okka) from last year was really good.

Playing this one again:

Still like this a whole lot! The mix of folsky touches (as often pulled by Guyvoronsky as by Petrova) with free (? is it free or does it just make that impession?) parts, the mingling of abstract passages with almost grooving ones (or both of that happening at the same time) makes this a very enjoyable set for me.

Also, it's a disc that's pretty easy on the ears, yet never gets boring or dull... not just your run of the mill chamber jazz!

Haven't heard it.

[Guest Chaney]

I had a first listen to Live At The 'Bottle' Fest 2005 today and found it to be pretty dull. For the most part, much too busy; many words used to ultimately say little.

Maybe not so much a reflection on the music presented as on my current listening preferences.

I like Live at the Bottle Fest, but it in no way compares to the show I saw the duo perform in October. Eremite was taping the tour and Michaell Ehlers told me that an "official" cd would be released. I really hope so. Brotz and Waits were on fire and I heard no cliches that night.

[John B]

I very highly recommend the Avram Fefer / Bobby Few album Kindred Spirits, on Boxholder.

It is a gorgeous album, comprised of three Fefer originals and tunes by Monk, Mingus and Duke. I wasn't familiar with Fefer prior to hearing this album and I had limited exposure to Few. I'm really looking forward to hearing their other new release on Boxholder called Heavenly Places. From what I have heard, Heavenly Places is the wilder, more fiery of the two discs. Where Kindred Spirits is composed, lyrical and restrained, Heavenly Places was recorded live, is improvised, and is more "out."

From Utech Records newsletter:

Available now:

STEN OVE TOFT "Sinners' Virtue" [021] $11

Sten Ove Toft (Ryfylke, Waffelpung) initiates a repeating bit of static for several minutes before laying down the harsh noise Norwegian style. Inside the remainder of this single track is a texturally rich landscape that allows for an occasional break in the chaos to seek atonement. Recorded at Landmark, Bergen, Norway. Hand assembled and numbered. Edition of 100 cdr.

PAAL NILSSEN-LOVE/ANDERS HANA "AM/FM" [023] $11

Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Anders Hana (electric guitar) approach

their instruments as if transmitters of sound and fury. Dichotomy slowly becomes a unified colossus and back again, a lovely furor resounding then drifting away to silence. Recorded at Numusic Festival, Tou Scene, Stavanger, Norway, 8/21/04. Hand assembled and numbered. Edition of 150 cdr.

PAAL NILSSEN-LOVE "Twenty Seven Years Later" [024] $11

Solo drums and percussion. This release completes our four part survey of recordings from Paal-Nilssen-Love. Recorded at Molde International Jazz Festival, Forum, Molde, Norway, 7/20/02. This performance finds Paal playing in the same building his father (also a drummer, now a painter) had played 27 years earlier. These unique pieces of music tell of Paal's dedication to and masterey of his craft. Hand assembled and numbered. Edition of 150 cdr.
