Well, this blog has already surpassed what I had imagined it would become. Thanks to Boromir (many thanks!) for some great music, and thanks to you all for the encouraging comments. I feel guilty for not putting up something new for a whole week. That is about to change, and how! I thought it would be nice to post an early Andrew Cyrille album here. I haven't been to too many live shows, but I did get the chance to see Mr. Cyrille in southern California a couple of years ago. He is one of my musical heroes (mainly due to the album associated with this post), and he stuck around after the gig to talk to everybody around the stage. Pretty cool, but he disappeared before I could thank him for his amazing music. As I was walking out of the auditorium, I caught him coming back and actually got a chance to talk to him for about five minutes. I have never been so star-struck in my life! He probably thought I was a little bit out there, but was a real class act and quick to talk about his different projects. Very cool. It's always nice when you get to meet a personal hero and they turn out to be that much more amazing.
Anyways, on to the music. Andrew Cyrille's Metamusicians' Stomp is flat out incredible. I found a copy of it on Amazon and never looked back. The first track has a catchy intro (and a young David S. Ware's smoky sax burns through it all) and it just gets better and better all the way through the last track. Speaking of the last track (Spiegelgasse), there is a point where Ted Daniel's trumpet sounds absolutely other-worldly--just some ethereal trumput floating over it all. If you hear it, you will probably know what I am talking about. Disappointments regarding the album? It's not that long (less than 40 minutes), leaving you wishing they had recorded more! Just listen to it!

great band! - are these also aac files? or mp3?
these are aacs, i'm listening to them as i write... and there's certainly no issue with the sound quality compared to most of the mp3s i hear (i think that as well as the "audiophile snobbery" angle, people sometimes mistakenly assume that ripping a poor recording at 300000kbps will somehow make it sound better - nope, just creates a big fat file which still sounds like shit). i could understand why one might not want to install itunes, but i have to say i wouldn't use anything else now, and i have no reason to be loyal to that company (whose products are nowhere near as problem-free as they like to claim)
oh yes, the music?! i like it :) ware's tone is almost painful in the ear at times, but in a good way... and of course the leader is a demon...
thanx's a lot for your uploads, especially for the Coleman/Haden....Never heared that before.......
I'm not an "audiophile snob", but I'm not using mp3-player or I-tunes to listen.
I just burn what I like to listen...
So I have a Problem with AAC Format!
It's not really 128kbs and will loose quality while burning - and that you can really hear....
There is no really need for mp3 files with more than 256kbs - but 192 kbs are needed to not loose the warm sounds in your ear....
So, it's not really a joy to listen to this AAC Format, but it's good enough just to get an impression about the music........
cheers
Many thanks for the Cyrille, nice to hear that he's still around. Some great blowing from Ware.
Here's something you might like. From the defunct French label BYG, recorded in Paris 1969:-
Kenneth Terroade - Love Rejoice
Kenneth Terroade: tenor, flute
Ronnie Beer: alto, tenor, flute
Evan Chandley: bass clrinet, flute
Francois Tusques: piano
Beb Guerin:bass
Earl Freeman: bass
Claude Delcloo: drums
I've had this record for 30 years, but I know very little about Terroade, other than that he was West Indian born,
and featured on some recordings by Sunny Murray, AECM and others. I suspect this was his only outing as leader. I can find no evidence of his recording beyond the early 70s. Beer, of course, came over to England from South Africa with the Blue Notes. Sadly, I think he had an early death also. Tusques was (and still is I beleiive) one of the stalwarts of the French avant garde scene.
Anyway, I think it's worth a listen. Free blowing and loud. Unfortunately, with 2 tenors playing, I can't tell which is Beer and which is Terroade, not knowing enough of their styles.

These links seem to get truncated. The above should end in .rar
hi boromir,
thanx a lot for this Terroade one.
In opposite to you I los this record, but good to have a chance listen it once more..........
and.......
copying the link to Browser it still has the .rar at the end...
cheers
boromir, thanks for another rarity, and please don't think i'm ungrateful when i say this: but i think maybe your record player is running too slowly! those two sides are well over a minute longer than the published times, and the same goes for the baptised traveller you put up recently... a bit strange..?
Hi centrifuge,
Record deck's a bit like me - old and tired. There may be a speed control on it, I'll take a look (pity there isn't one on me).
b - :)) actually there is, sort of:
http://www.acuxo.com/meridianPictures.asp?point=GV4&meridian=Governing%20Vessel
alpine walkers prod this on each other, i'm told, in order to keep their energies up (this instinctively or empirically, but without any knowledge of acupressure)
centrifuge, I had some acupuncture last year when I had back trouble. It tended to relax me and slow me down rather than speed me up. I don't know how I'd feel about being prodded plodding up an ice mountain.
Vack on music issues, ever come across this Spanish site www.jazzmusic.org ? A lot of uploads there really shouldn't be there (copyright), but somebody has just posted a real gem:-
Archie Shepp & Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen - Looking at Bird (1980)
Very rare Danish recording, Shepp at his best ! (before he got the notion he could sing). I'd recommend grabbing it fast.
b, i can't even find the site never mind the album. typing that protocol into either one of my browsers just brings up jazzreview.com, a different beast entirely. never mind, i'm not exactly short of things to listen to...
... as for your acupuncture, well, presumably that's what you needed at the time! but the reverse can also be achieved.
Humble apologies, centrifuge. Missed out a 'y', the site is
www.jazzymusic.org. Drill down into the "jazz" section. There's not much avant stuff, but if like me you have varied tastes, you may spot items of interest. Once again, sorry for the faux pas.
this is just not destined to happen... i can't load that site either (tons of error messgaes/warnings from my isp about security issues). but thanks anyway! for my part i've just put up you can't name your own tune by barry altschul (see church #9, top entry), an album which i imagine a lot of people round here already have, but hopefully not everybody :)
I've downloaded your Altschul, just listening to the first track this very minute (I should really be out doing jobs (I'm retired)) Great stuff ! Many thanks.
you're welcome boromir, and for my part i am just about to avail myself of your url :)
thanks in advance (or rather thanks for the various efforts you've made to get me this far!)
Hey guys,
Glad you can use this site as a forum for sharing more interesting records. That tip about the Shepp album was dead on--thanks! As a frequent visitor to Church Number 9, I also dl'd Evan Parker's "At the Finger Palace" album. When will the good times end? Hopefully none too soon. Let's keep it up!
p.s. I'll try to take down that link sometime around the middle of the week.
hello j! hope you don't mind all this cross-talk and stuff... can't hurt :)
just pulling that gustafsson/drake duet now (and smacking my lips accordingly)
i left that evan parker alone on the grounds that it was FLACs, figured it would take all day to download, but several people seem to have done it so i guess maybe i'll reconsider...
oh yes and glmlr has already posted a reply to your brotz query; i am preparing a (different) response of my own, back at the church in due course...
Centrifuge,
What? A blog used to discuss jazz, life, etc., with other people from around the globe that might share similar tastes/leanings? Heh, heh... Of course it doesn't hurt! In fact, I think it is great that we all get a chance to shoot the breeze about stuff we are into. Is there such thing as a "jazz junkie" convention? I know they have comic book conventions, etc.
About the Brotzmann "Lonely Woman" info, thanks for the help. Wishing Pierre will reply to clear things up. About the album you referenced with that track, have you heard it before? A high recommendation? The reason why I am asking is that I found a copy of it on Jazzloft.com. Thanks for the help!
j, if you mean the icp006 groupcomposing album, yes, it's top-notch and i definitely recommend it! i did give rather labyrinthine instructions as to how to locate the link for the download, but it may make things a lot easier if i just tell you it's here:
http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2007/02/instant-composers-pool-icp-orchestra.html
link is still active. you may as well know that several people encountered a problem with the second track, which sometimes cut out about three minutes in... no idea why - solution was to import the file into audacity and re-export it but if you don't use audacity already this may well be too much hassle! if you have an alternative source for the music, perhaps use that ;-)
i hope you did mean that album and not the brotz solo one - that was glmlr who mentioned that, and i haven't heard it.
