ED BLACKWELL QUARTET "TIN PALACE 1979"

 

This concert was most probably part of a double bill with the Moffett Family.

The picture above is from the Tin Palace. But obviously and unfortunately after it was used as a location for many wonderful concerts... And don't miss the interview Ted Panken conducted with Edward Blackwell in May 1986 https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/edward-blackwell-wkcr-may-4-1986/

Paul Motian Trio - Live in Alassio '77

This was the first and only time that i had the chance
of listening David Izenzon live : after ten years of
retirement he was starting playing again with P.Motian
and C.Brackeen in this short lived trio.
What a marvellous bass player, one of the greatest
of the sixties together with Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro,
Henry Grimes, Jimmy Garrison and few others.

Paul Motian trio- live in Bremen 13/9 /1977

Some one emailed me months ago asking if i had any unofficial material by Motian's trio with Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano.. i don't.

Paul Motian ,one of the great modern jazz drummers was perhaps as instrumental in emancipating the drums from the rigid role Of mere time keeping, and developing the concept of free time as Sunny Murray and Andrew Cyrille.. you hear freedoms on The Bill Evans village vanguard records from 1961 that were unparallelled in their day,a fact that's due more to the fluid and spontaneous role of the rhythm section than to anything Evan's plays.
This concert feature my favourite Motian group of all time..they only made one album 'Dance' for ECM, one of the enduring classics of the late 70's.
There's so little Charles Brackeen on record.. that one wonders how some one with such prodigious gifts has been so neglected by the 'industry',Brackeen is prominently featured on both tenor and soprano saxes.
Masterful bassist David Izenzon, stretches out like you've never heard him....at least not on record.

this is a beautifully detailed recording in superb sound... many thanks to the Tapers Seeders Traders..whom ever they be.
