JiŘí STiVíN - Zodiac Live at Prague Spring 2007

Stivín's album Zodiac (Zvěrokruh in Czech, released 1977) was never performed live, until Spring 2007, in time for 40th anniversary of its creation. From studio version, where Stivín played also drums beside saxes, flutes etc., and posted here before, he retained both string quartet and mixed choir (even in updated personnelss). Slovak pianist Gabriel Jonáš was busy at the time for Prague Spring Festival, so he was replaced by Karel Růžička. Added are vibraphonist Radek Krampl and Stivín's occasional international partners, bassist Ali Haurand and drummer Daniel Humair. Various medieval melodies are used in choir parts. I think result is still vital mix of classical & early music, folklore and jazz.

EUROPEAN JAZZ QUINTET. Manchester 1992

One good Sol brother once commented how it’s better to share this stuff than to have a pile of cassettes doing nothing in a box.  So here’s another one  that won’t eventually end up in a skip without a trace.  If any of you connoisseurs out there can help with titles, that would be appreciated.

At the gig I remember particularly enjoying Gerd Dudek’s gorgeous soprano on The Peacocks and being mesmerised by Connie Bauer’s amazing multiphonics.  In memory of the great Tony Levin and Rob Van Den Broeck.  Enjoy.  (It’s a big file)

Skidmore, Oxley, Haurand - SOH (1979)

Here's a terrific post from glmlr's vinyl collection. Many thanks to him for allowing us to enjoy this rare LP.

Details:

Alan Skidmore - Tony Oxley - Ali Haurand
"SOH"
Ego 4011 LP
Recorded Ludwigsburg
February 1979

Skidmore Alan, tenor, soprano
Haurand Ali, bass
Oxley Tony, drums, percussion.

A1 - One - Two - Free
B1 - Das Ist Alice
B2 - Trio nr. 10
B3 - Lost in W. G.


There are far too few Alan Skidmore recordings available. This one, long since unobtainable, is one of the best I've heard. For most of the tracks, Skidmore is in unashameably Coltrane mode, and nobody does it better than him. Curiously, as a contrast, the track "Trio nr. 10" sounds more like Evan Parker. I have my doubts about that track, but it's only short, and the rest of the tracks more than make up for it.

Glmlr informs me:-
"By complete coincidence, the latest issue of Cadence magazine contains a review of a newly-released SOH recording, called "Live in London" on the Jazzwerkstatt label, number 16, recorded in 1983."

That I believe is the only other recording the trio made, so if you can track it down you can have their entire recorded works.
