KARLOVY VARY, 1988

Interjazz 6
Václav Zahradník & Prague Television Orchestra  featuring Rudolf Dašek, Georgi Garanian, Peter Hurt, Albert Mangelsdorff, Jiří Stivín, Jan Talich
Supraphon ‎– 11 0183-1 511 (LP)       Czechoslovakia, 1989

The fifth edition of the CZ Jazz Festival, held in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) in 1988, included as part of its program an International Jazz Composers Workshop for which the organizers of the event had commissioned six renowned composers to submit scores.  The individual entries were rehearsed by the Prague Television Jazz Orchestra directed by Vaclav Zahradnik and a majority of them were performed in public at a Festival concert on March 26, 1988.
Studio sessions took place the following days and resulted in this album.
Jri Stivin is absolutely stunning in the first track but the whole album is pretty good.  Not a dud track IMHO.  Get it!  I do not think it had appeared in the blogworld before.

MUSIC FOR A TELEVISION BALLET


RIEDAIGLIA

SWEDISH RADIO JAZZ GROUP & CHAMBER CHOIR
conducted by GEORG RIEDEL & ERIC ERICSON

SVERIGES RADIO label (RELP 1051), 1967

Those of us who have known the “golden age” of jazz blogging a few years ago do fondly remember El Reza’s blog.  Reza, Bacoso, Ish, Arkadin, Katonah, El Goog Ja, Simon, Basso … all these blokes inspired me to start a jazz blog of my own.  I am therefore much honored and pleased to present today El Reza’s first contribution to the Boogieman’s blog. 

Superb Nordic jazz with shades of Sun Ra / Art Ensemble Of Chicago / Palle Mikkelborg Mysterious Corona / Marion Brown's Le Temps Fou funky free jazz and groovy psychedelic sounds of the period. Experimental mood music recorded in the studios of the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation for the TV ballet, Riedaiglia (an avant garde dance production by Lars Egler with choreography by Alvin Ailey). Features the psychedelic club tune Gluttony, Strange, spacey and addictive atmospheres with lots more improvised jazz horns / scat voices / sophisticated rhythms and solos throughout the whole LP (El Reza / Discogs)
