PETER KOWALD, BOBBY NAUGHTON, LEO SMITH, GÜNTER SOMMER "LIVE AT WDR KOLN 3/12/81"

Here's another wonderful

concert, in very good sound

acquired in a trade with a 'friend'

anyone familiar with the ,wonderful fmp disc , touch the earth break the shells, will already have an informed view of the stunning empathy between kowald ,smith, and sommer.

well this concert adds the highly individual approach to the vibraphone of bobby naughton a neglected figure whos contributions to classic leo smith, anthony braxton, and roscoe mitchell albums, to some extent shaped my appreciation of the instrument's possibilities as something other than a merely pianistic approach, ah la say milt jackson.

all i can say about this is that, its a major statement by masters who's names should be in every lover of improvised music's lexicon, this is as great an example of aacm , post 60's free intergrating with euro free improv as one could hope to find, anyone interested in either should on no account overlook this superlative gem.

Wadada Leo Smith & New Dalta Ahkri - Live in Florence '79

The New Dalta Ahkri (the name of the open groups led by Wadada
during the Seventies) stands out for a music that is always balanced
between written and improvised parts : Wadada's scores contain
only a part of what you're listening to, even if the first impression
is that the musicians read nearly all.

Rec. live in Florence, Italy, on July 4, 1979

hi all
here's an album thats been unavailable for many years.
surprising really that smiths only large scale big band record should remain unreleased.
this album was recorded the same day and with identical line up as roscoe mitchell's sketches from bamboo.
both were recorded at the moers festival 1979,unfortunately i couldnt find an image of the cover
for more information on leo smith please go to his home page at-http://music.calarts.edu/~wls/index.html
if anyone has the cover or any other out of print leo smith albums theyd like to upload please contact me at-dipmong@hotmail.com

PLEASE BUY LEO SMITHS RECORDINGS,YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED THEY ARE FANTASTIC!
this is a vinyl rip to 190kbsmp3 or there abouts(note side 1 =1 track,side 2 = track 2

Bobby Naughton said.....
I play vibraphone on this record. It was not recorded at '79 Moers Festival but rather a few days later at Palm Studio, Paris/France. The Leo Smith Creative Orchestra and The Roscoe Mitchell Creative Orchestra were indeed recorded at the Moers Festival by WDR but never released.(I have a private tape)I used my vibraphone at Moers but when we tuned up in the Paris studio I gave my A as pianist Marilyn Crispell sounded her A. Ouch! The tuning in Paris was A442 versus my vibes A440. The session was delayed about an hour until an A442 vibraphone was borrowed or leased.
