your albert ayler post on LJC has always been the source of much envy from me, dott. other than his impulse recordings, plus originals of spritual unity and prophecy, i've got no ayler. always looking, though.

Alun and Nick were talking about Dollar Brand in another post. this reminded me of a couple of Brand's records in my collection. here's the rarer: Hamba Khale! on a very obscure Italian label, Togetherness MN 004. it's a duo with Gato Barbieri recorded in Milano, 1968 march 16th.

Dottore, I wonder who is on the cover. Certainly neither Brand nor Barbieri. P.S. I like the sample of the final track (81st Street) I've just listened to on discogs. |

Dollar Brand recorded well in the duet format. I've got - and mentioned this morning - the marvellous LP with Johnny Dyani, Echoes of Africa; there's also,one with Max Roach. But one of the finest is the set with Archie Shepp, superbly recorded on Denon.
Dott, I have at least heard of the record you show but never seen it and certainly never in that variant, which I imagine must be very rare indeed.

Have long wanted that Togetherness pressing. Great record. It's the same album that was issued in the US on Arista/Freedom, in England and Germany on Freedom, and in Italy (later) on Durium.

As ever, Dott, those Roling covers are very covetable. I don't have any of them but I do have ANATOMY on a later Srista Freedom/Polydor repress from the 70s. If I remember correctly, the sound quality of the recording isn't particularly good, is it?
UPDATE
I'm answering that question for myself - I'm playing it now. In fact, it's pretty bloody good. I'm often surprised when I play records that I haven't played for a long time because a couple of years back I treated myself to a pair of Beyerdynamics DT880 Pro headphones (the 200 ohm ones, i think) and a Rega headphone amp, and it has turned out to probably the best investment I have ever made in hi fi equipment. I'm certainly not an audiophile - I can't afford to be and frankly wouldn't know where to start - but even I can hear the difference a headphone amp makes.
anyway, that's off topic. Thanks for the reminder to pull out this particular Dollar Brand.

I have only one LP with Marte Röling cover: The Jazz Composer's Orchestra - Communication (Fontana, 1966), Japanese re-issue of 1984 (www.discogs.com/Jazz-Composers-Orchestra-Communication/release/2750767). I would love to add to it another beautiful LP from this series: Carla Bley / Mike Mantler / Steve Lacy – Jazz Realities (Fontana, 1966) for "a nice pair". |

Yeah. And the second track on Side 1 is famous Ida Lupino upside down. Grazie mille, Dottore.

Dottore, this beautiful platter on Danish Debut reminded about the book I found a few years ago in Copenhagen: Cool Scandinavians: Danish Jazz Cover Artwork From 1950-1970 (2007)
In 1957 Ole Vestegaard leased the company's catalogue from Mingus and produced recordings on the Danish Debut label by American jazz musicians who settled in Copenhagen or played at Jazzhus Montmartre. |

Very nice -- and oddly it still seems to be available in the UK, from Gearbox Records... I'm tempted.

Art Jackson's Atrocity - Gout (Sinner Lady, 2012) LP. This is for those who like Miles Davis' records of 1973-1975. Apocryphal sources claim that the record was made by twenty year old guitarist Art Jackson and his group in 1974, and Miles Davis himself actively supported them. It was planned to issued by Columbia (limited number of copies was even printed for promotion) but then, due to unclear reasons, nothing happened. No information about the musicians, only a track list on a piece of paper inserted into the cover: (1) Shaft In Afghanistan (7:39) (2) Arabian Fabian (8:59) (3) Available Bush (7:11) (4) Tomato Reign (16:20) (5) Gout (6:22). Limited edition of 99 copies. My copy has #77.

Absolutely fascinating. But I see that a lengthy analysis HERE claims the work is a 'hoax' (or a hommage or a piece of conceptual art or what have you) by someone or something called Late for Class. What do you think, nick? My observation is that the drumming doesn't sound like 1974 drumming -- it has that hard edged funk sound. The electronics don't sound like vintage 1974 electronics either. I'm listening to Shaft in Afghanistan as I write - courtesy of the link above. I enjoyed it. SaveSaveSaveSave |
