billy hart quartet – 7 mar 2014, birdland, new york city, ny, usa

this was part of a 5-day run at birdland for the release of one is the other.  despite that, this show only had 3 pieces from the (then) new cd: lennie groove, teule’s redemption, and amethyst, i suppose in part because lee konitz was a guest musician for part of the show.  i quite like that — for me, it’s more interesting than just playing through the cd.

there’s a bit of chat at the beginning of some of the songs, but it’s still a very good recording — just enough chatter to remind you that this is an audience recording.  i’d say better than the taper’s assessment “very listenable, nonetheless”.

taper’s comments:  set promoting the release on 2014-03-04 of billy hart quartet’s new ecm disc, one is the other. most of the music went unannounced, except for lennie’s groove. i’ve differentiated the tracks of the quartet alone as bhq, so if anyone knows the names of these tunes, please help with the setlist. that too goes for the tracks with guest lee konitz. he seemed to be there as a guest/friend of particularly ethan iverson. not sure if he was there on any of the other nights or sets of this engagement.
good recording that suffers in spots from table noises from wait staff at club and nearby chatter. very listenable, nonetheless.
support billy hart and the members of his quartet (and lee konitz) by buying their officially released material and seeing them live.
many thanks to dolphyfan for providing track names.

i’ve listened to this a few times over the past several weeks, and finally decided it had spent too much time in my foobar2000 playlist not to share it here.  nonets and tentets are so nice, more depth of sound than a small combo but still not a full orchestra, a cozy in-between.

this is one of those shows that i’m posting here though it was only just on dime.  i don’t think you can get nicole glover’s first record anymore, but she has a second album strange lands & is on a few albums by other people.  anyway, loved this show, looking forward to when strange lands and george colligan‘s more powerful arrive from jazzmessengers in portugal.

where did i just see bern nix?  i thought it was dime, but no, so maybe it was something on mastodon?  anyway, i brushed off a few old shows that’ve been lurking in the vaults, and here’s one of them.  smashing stuff.  i have to look into jim nolet now.

unfortunately, i’ve missed downloading a couple of ellen christi shows, but that’s ok, i’m sure i can find some of her cd’s for sale.  though, with the range of styles she can (and, apparently, will) sing, it remains to be seen if i will have chosen well in my purchase.  i find this very hard to describe, but there’s a sample as alway.  if you like this, a venue called roulette, in brooklyn, has a recording of mark hennen, ellen christi & drummer jackson krall show on 6-mar-1985 available on their website.

a week or two ago, i was again at the workmans club down on wellington quay, for a dublin jazz co-op show:  thomas schuttenhelm & sam perkin.  it sounded interesting & was but i wasn’t sure i’d enjoy it.  but enjoy it, i did!  it was super!  and music to make you think and to be thought about.  i had a nice chat with thomas schuttenhelm afterwards, a very interesting fellow (no surprise that!).  check ’em both out!

charles tolliver & the erich kleinschuster quintet – 1 feb 1969, vienna, austria + charles tolliver’s music inc – 29 may 1971 lila eule, bremen, germany

well, a charles tolliver double-header is a fine way to hit 500 posts!

the first show, from 1969, is a phenomenal recording.  as someone commented on dime, when it was shared a few years ago,

listening now, great stereo sound, good enough for a commercial release.  sounds fantastic, swings like crazy.

i can say the same right now!  and it goes for the second show, from 1971, which is maybe a lot more “tolliver-ish” (yes. btw, i see that the ’69 show is “all compositions  by charles tolliver), and which i think that i prefer.  i’ve been listening to very little except charles tolliver or the radio (which was sadly lacking any charles tolliver!)

btw, we now have a presence on mastodon, @cipjazz@mas.to

muriel grossman, ibiza jazz 2014 / susana sheiman, ibiza jazz 2014 & barcelona 2012 (mp3)

well, i hadn’t really planned on this one.  i was listening to ibiza 2014 from the old discopolis recordings, and really enjoyed muriel grossman’s concert.  and then it fed right into the next concert, by susana sheiman, which i also really enjoyed.  and then i looked to see what other shows by grossman or sheiman i might find, answer being a nice show by susana sheiman from 2012.  well, fortunately i had the sense to stop before i went completely down the rabbit hole, as this sort of thing can rapidly escalate.  though i do need to go back to look for more muriel grossman… she is super!  anyway, the outcome of all of this is these three shows, leading off with muriel grossman & then susana sheiman at the 2014 eivissa jazzfest in ibiza, then, as a little dessert, a 2014 show by susana sheiman.  links and (if i get to it) samples are all together at the bottom of this post.  also, in case you’re wondering, no, i was not able to find websites or much of anything for most of the musicians.  finally, these are in mp3 format, somewhat unusually for this site.
