this might be a nice companion piece for this 1967 krzysztof komeda show with a much younger tomasz stanko. nice to see things going around like that. not anything that i’ve seen before since i don’t watch polanskiy’s films. nice line up, too! looking for this on the web, i did run across a jazz(ish) [Read more…]
here’s the last of this week’s three shows, and back to the trumpet with eddie henderson! and finishing with my favorite of the three shows. btw, this is not the 2003 album echoes also with henderson & de wilde in a quartet, which is currently on my wishlist. eddie henderson & laurent de wilde quartet [Read more…]
here’s the second of the three shows mentioned. a little different than the other two, being improvisation and something that you have to listen to (i.e. not for the car, nor over dinner!) but very much worth the time doing so. if you like improvisation , you might take a look at the improvised music [Read more…]
this is the first of 3 shows i’ve lined up. been a rather busy week, but i dug some super shows out of the archive, including this one which made me realize that i’m on a bit of a trumpet jag lately. always a good thing! also: i realize just as about to post that [Read more…]
i moved from filefactory to 1fichier quite some time ago, and my ff subscription is running out in around a month. so… those files might go missing. if you have an ‘invalid download link’ issue on ff, just drop a note & i’ll see about uploading a fresh zip file to 1f.
still out of town, listening to this on a little bluetooth speaker the size of a pack of cards that has a surprisingly good sound. i just threw a few shows on the laptop before i headed out, and really hit paydirt with this one. aside from mark murphy’s super singing, all the musicians stretch [Read more…]
off travelling again, here’s one of the shows that i brought with me. a little bit of research reveals this to be “the green street trio with houston person”, according to the jazz fest website. it’s a great show and one of those audience recordings that really makes you wonder how they do it. mine [Read more…]
hans rettenbacher died in dec 1989, aged 50, and joe nay died in a car crash in dec 1990, aged 56. both very young. r.i.p. with radio studio recordings, i sometimes wonder to what extent a performance’s length was set by the show’s time slot. not that all venues & performers don’t plan or expect [Read more…]
proving that too much is not enough, here’s this delightful show from edmar castañeda & joe locke, on harp and vibes — probably my two least favorite instruments in jazz, and yet, and yet… the info file has mr. castañeda playing both colombian and classical harp. i’m not sure what the difference is, and the [Read more…]
very generously, lyle mays has a bootlegs page on his website, so a tip o’ the hat to the bold lyle mays! (he also has a store, just saying) that page includes this show, but this version is from an fm broadcast, not mr. mays website. it’s a great recording of a super pianist, but [Read more…]
