Here is a very interesting concert by an otherwise undocumented quartet. The music contained within contrasts quite a bit with what you may be used to hearing from Brotzmann. It is dense at times but there are lots of dynamics and a musicality that doesn't always come across very easily on his officially released material. A very unique group that needs to be heard to be believed. A pretty solid analog audience recording provided by Owombat on Dime-a-doze. Thank you very much Owombat!

Now I offer a double helping of one of my favorite pianists of today. This was the first opportunity I had to hear a solo performance of his. Mr. Moran always seems to be brimming with inventiveness when he plays and this solo concert where he explores the possibilities of his instrument within the solo context is a great example. To compliment it I have also included the performance of his well known trio The Bandwagon recorded the following day. I hope some of you enjoy these two documents as much as I do. Big Thanks to Tomyoungster at Dime-a-dozen for sharing these nuggets.

One of the most brutal and punishing bands ever led by Peter Brotzmann.  I caught them live in Buffalo abouth 7 months before this concert and they completely destroyed my consciousness.  Loud explosive, pounding and brutal sounds emanating from all three musicians.   Set break was taken due to the fact that Michael Wertmuller had broken his snare and needed to repair it. Ranks atop some my best memories of witnessing Peter Brotzmann live.  I offer here a crushing radio broadcast.  Sadly it is not the whole concert but what we have is truly worth damaging your psysche for.

I'm really glad there are tapers out in Japan documenting these kinds of things.  This is a meeting of great minds.  Each one is a powerful voice on his intrument so I was a little worried it would be all hype and no product.  I've seen some concert like this where every one wants to be the star of the show and also the opposite where no one will step it up.  Both circumstances yield uninspired music.  That doesn't seem to be the case here.  The 3 seem to feed off each other very well.  Not sure if they rehearsed any of this or improvised on the fly but it seems to get better and better as the concert goes on.

18 tracks and 82mins of great Afro Soul music.  The Budos Band out of Staten Island brings it every night.  Members of the Dap-Kings & Antibalas and a sound that kinda mixes what both bands produce.   I caught them in Hamilton, ON on this tour and it was fantastic.  Thier first record was a lot of fun but their live performnce was highly infectious and full of nasty grooves.  They have since released a second cd aptly titled Budos Band II which is even better in my opinion.   I look forward to catching them on tour again sometime and hope they keep groovin for a long time to come.  Big thanx to Andy Hopkins for capturing this and sharing it over at bt.etree.org.

Two great nights of the Sun City Girls in Michigan!  Reminds me of the opportunity I had to catch them in Montreal for two days in a row.  Two completely different sets.  Different songs, different mood.  A nice contrast of the SCG.  They unfortunately are not pristine recordings but they are definitely well worth listening to.  Live recordings of the band are few and far between considering their 20+ years of making music and touring.  If you are a fan of SCG then you will be like me I'm sure and take what you can get.  With the passing of Charles Gocher all we can do now is wait these kinds of documents to surface.

A thrilling duo.  Everything I have heard these two do together has been really great.  Whether it's the 2 releases on Ayler Records or unofficial live recordings such as this one.   Assif Tsahar is a personal favorite of mine.  His compositions flow unlike any one else's and his tenor blasts are unlike any thing I have heard before.  There is also a very mysterious beauty about his bass clarinet playing that i cannot quite describe.   His music is very well documented on his Hopscotch label.   There is not to much you can say about Hamid that has not been said before.  I caught the duo live in Toronto in Sept 2001 and it is still a great memory.  The music was powerful and moving but still it was highly interactive and dare I say uplifting.

I cannot remember where I got this from but I remember searching a long time for it.  It was the best Sonic Youth concert I attended other than the two times I caught them for the 'Washing Machine' tour and Tibetan Freedom Concert where I first heard the instrumental stuff from the Perspectives releases..  This was also memorable because I'm pretty sure it was the first time I saw them with Jim O'Rourke.  What a great addition to the band.  He adds a lot of extra dynamics to the band, as if it were even possible in the first place.  I don't think any one else could have enhanced them so much as opposed to changing the overall sound of the music.

This was the last concert of an European Tour by Ken Vandermark with Pandelis Karayorgis.
 

The tour with Pandelis ended in Linz, at the Bruckner Haus, probably the reason the whole trip was conceived in the first place. Pandelis was offered the concert more than a year ago and were paid about three times what we received on the other dates (it’s necessary to keep in mind that this was a major institution/concert hall and the other places were regular club dates). That fee helped to cover the majority of the transportation costs (planes and trains). (...) For some reason the concert was called, “The Monk In Us,” which no one bothered to tell us about ahead of time. Thankfully Pandelis and I had been playing a few Monk tunes on the tour so we had something to offer that was prepared, but anyone that was expecting an all Thelonious Monk program would have been severely disappointed.

An absolultely stunning document!  A very well recorded concert that ranks amongst my favorites.  I just recently got this in my collection thanks to the wonderful seeder at DIME.  A real piece of history once again.  There are not too many unofficial documents of the great Jemeel Moondoc, seems he is perhaps overlooked, as is almost always the case in regards to jazz musicians.  The original records of the Muntu band are well worth getting if you can track them down.  To help ease your pain a little I offer this as a temporary antidote.

By the time they performed this concert the Vandermark 5 were a well oiled machine. This is an impeccable document of the band at their peak before the departure of Tim Mulvenna. The compositions are daring and fresh with all members comunicating ideas almost telepathically. Hats off to who ever did the mix and recording of this as it is absolutely marvelous.

Thanks to Boldsouls on DIME for sharing this wonderful piece of history.  Very uncommon to see a complete 3+ hrs concert in excellent quality surface.  The concert contains lots of interesting bits and pieces and it fills an gaping hole in early live documentation of the Arkestra.   Now if only more recordings like this could surface!
