Harbour Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 This looks interesting, don’t think it has been officially released before? https://www.grooves-inc.co.uk/marion-quartet-brown-mary-ann-live-bremen-1969-moosicus-indigo-cd-pZZa1-2100807682.html its certainly been out there unofficially but not sure if this is taken from master reels http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=2299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Very curious. I have that Joe Viera/Ed Kröger material from around the same time, which is fairly interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optatio Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 The recording from April 24, 1969 in the venue "Lila Eule" (purple owl) in Bremen is already known. https://rateyourmusic.com/release/unauth/marion-brown-quartet/lila-eule-bremen-24_04_1969.p/ https://jazznblues.org/jazz/marion-brown-quartet-lila-eule-bremen-1969/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaba.siegel Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Good to see it will be issued by Moosicus. This + Marion Brown is an insta-buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 the sound on the YT is pretty decent. I wonder if the CD will be any improvement, and if it's legit? Kinda suspect it isn't, but I guess it's over 50 years old so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 This was repped by the official Marion Brown IG account (run by his son), so however it came about it does have the family’s blessing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrHkd95OysD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Got this the other day and have been listening to it quite a bit. It's a really substantial document, clocking in over 150+ minutes. Sound is quite good. The music is very expansive in scope and dynamic for being a club date. No blowing exercises, everything seems rehearsed and worked over and the band plays as a band, not Marion plus. And 2,5 hours of Steve McCall is always going to be welcome. Above all it's great to have this much more music from Marion's early European period, I think this is when his playing was at its peak (i.e. Porto Novo, Le Temps Fou, In Sommerhausen, Gesprächsfetzen). He was always a personal player with a quiet confidence, but I think this is when that confidence was at its strongest, and when he's beginning to take in some new concepts and techniques that will eventually come to flower on Afternoons of A Georgia Faun, Sweet Earth Flying, and Geechee Recollections-- namely the amount of sheer space in this music. It really breathes. Can't recommend this enough, if you're on the fence at all, get off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pity, that this recording wasn't issued during Marion's lifetime. It was his entry intro into Germany! But he is not mentioned in the booklet as composer of some of the tracks!

Radio Bremen hat damals mitgeschnitten und nun nach so langer Zeit sind die Aufnahmen als Doppel CD veröffentlicht worden. Wirklich hörenswert, was und vor allem was wir da gespielt haben. Frisch und munter und sehr kommunikativ.“ "Surprise. In 1969 I played in the Lila Eule with the American saxophonist MARION BROWN, the drummer Steve McCall and the Bremen trombonist Ed Kröger. Radio Bremen recorded at that time and now, after such a long time, the recording have been released as a double CD. Really worth hearing what and above all what we played there. Fresh and lively and very communicative." Edited May 20, 2023 by optatio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
