these two shows, only days apart, have only two pieces in common, giving the effect of a 2-hour+ concert (even allowing for the duplicates).  it’s not just the still dreaming album, though much of that does appear (mostly in the first show).  i wonder if anyone made the (5 hour by car) trip to see both shows?  probably.  i realize this is the first concert in some time with no piano, just horns, bass & drums, so if  you’re in the mood for that, i think you’ll enjoy this.

there’s been a slow but steady, and always good, trickle of chris potter shows on dime.  this was the first show of his that i downloaded, back in april 2008 when ‘colors’ shared it there. april 2008!  that seems so long ago now.  anyway, i just downloaded a couple of chris potter shows from last summer, and thought it might be a good time for a mini ‘chris potter fest’ around the house this weekend, starting with this one while i get the upload ready… which it now is.

i’ve been clearing some videos off my hard drive, and demuxing them in the process.  really, i don’t watch videos, and am only ever likely to listen to the soundtrack demuxed into an .m4a or .mp2.  i do keep the original videos, except of course that most of them were on a separate drive, which not being backed up crashed around a year ago.  but at least a lot of those had been demuxed.

anyway, here are three that transitioned in the past few days.  hard to say which i preferred.  as always, the demux is in the same format as the original… generally, i use mediacoder to extract the audio in ‘copy audio’ mode.  as i think i said before, these are an exception to my ‘flac only’ habit, but at fairly high quality (and with no alternative), you can take your chance.  oh, and if you’re not sure how to play .m4a / .mp2, try foobar2000.

additional notes from original info file:
this lady in the same league as billie or sarah vaugham appeared for ten consecutive nights in a old unused church where many festival shows of the past decade took place: i don’t know which precise night is this from. note: the “live at umbria jazz” official egea cd was recorded instead at giardini del frontone the following year, and featured mark simon in place of a here stunning colley
sorry, no tracklist given for the moment, it’s a sixty and more minutes video with a couple of minutes of italian tv intros at the beginning…

à propos
——–
à 77 ans, le big boss du free jazz poursuit son errance musicale à travers les festivals les plus prestigieux.

résumé
——
il y a 50 ans, archie shepp publiait son premier album en leader, produit par john coltrane : « four for trane ». né en 1937, celui qui se destinait au métier d’acteur s’est rapidement tourné vers le saxophone et l’enseignement avant d’être l’un des premiers musiciens de free jazz à être enregistré.

très actif dans les années 1960, archie shepp s’est toujours illustré, au travers d’une longue carrière controversée, par son engagement politique et par son attachement au blues. le temps d’un soir pour jazz à la villette, « archie va jouer le blues » aux côtés de la pianiste-chanteuse amina claudine myers (associée à l’aacm de chicago) et du guitariste joe louis walker qui, lors de ses jeunes années, a partagé la scène avec ses idoles john lee hooker et jimi hendrix.
