Guest Bill Barton Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I just posted this in the "What are you listening to now?" thread. It's a very good recording but a total mystery to me where and when it was recorded. _________________________ Ornette Coleman - Jazz Masters 100 ans de jazz (e.f.s.a. collection) This one's really strange... It sounds like the trio with David Izenson and Charles Moffett to me but there's no info in English. One of those discount-bin specials. It's on an Irish label, Mandarim, and copyrighted 1997. But the notes (which look like an overview of Ornette's career and recordings) are in French! The titles are: 1. In the Snow 2. Mis-used Blues 3. The Poet 4. The Duel 5. January Does anyone know what the hell this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Based on the song titles, it's probably some of the Who's Crazy? soundtrack with Moffett and Izenson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Bill, if you want to call, I will translate the notes for you. Years ago, when I was in South Africa, my buddies were big Bill Evans fans (and why not?). The Verve "At Montreux" LP had just come out (a very nice album, with Jack de Johnette on drums), and our drummer came up and said "What does the (Swiss French) announcer say at the start?", with a frustrated look on his face. So we stuck it on again, and the bit he didn't like was "Tous deux sont les partenaires (du pianist Beel Evans!)". Lotsa fun. [i don't think he said "Tous les deux", but I'd have to dig it out to find out.] What does that mean, by the way, lol. Added: Ooh, Jim, your italics aren't working today.

I appreciate it. From my very limited knowledge of French, as I said, it looks like simply a basic bio/overview of Ornette's career and recordings though, probably not worth the trouble. It's a very good recording (well, if you're not a Moldy Fig ) and has quite a bit of violin and trumpet. Izenson is tha shytt... I'm really happy to have it in the stacks taking into consideration the fact that the Jazz Atmosphere and Affinity releases are probably pretty hard to come by.
