Happily, my first live Sonny date was 1982 and I revisit his stuff periodically when nothing else will do.Salty Swift wrote:Jesse wrote:Sun Ra Nuits De La Findation Maeght, Volume 1
Jesse,
When you get into Sun Ra, there's just no stopping you!!
Yes its a great album, one would prefer the spelling Catalogue thoughhatta wrote: loved A Catalog of Sounds.
I feel your pain...I picked up a few nameless, plain white covered Saturn's at a few Arkestra gig's....They all wound up being traded at the Chicago Jazz Record mart..Jesse wrote:

About 10 years ago I sold several hundred free jazz/improv records to a local collector, and there were numerous Saturns among them.

Now having got through this I have to refine my position. The two longest pieces here, Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices & Organ and Music For A Large Ensemble I couldn't make it all they way through. They are indicative of what an increasing amount of Reich music would become like from this period on. The vocal parts are particularly grating, but the bright, tonal sounds also are just relentless as well. I did enjoy the first two pieces a lot though.hatta wrote:Steve Reich

This a recording of this festival off of Radio Nederland which I downloaded the other day. Really great sound quality and represents about the upper bound of the period of Reich compositions that I really like. The accompanying text file didn't say who is playing but I assume it is a local ensemble, maybe bolstered by the Reich Ensemble. Real nice versions of these pieces.
Yeah, that's why I leave it in the player for a long while each time I'm up to the task. Totally worth the effort. I guess there will be a third collab coming out sometime soon.Salty Swift wrote:The reason I don't listen to this quite enough is the packing is tricky to disrobe...Discriminate wrote:
Yes its part of Absurd's "A Question of Re-entry" sub-series. Agreed about both the music and the packaging.simon reynell wrote:Matthew Sansom / Rhodri Davies duo cdr 'Live Uncut Vol.1'.
Very nice music indeed; an excellent balance of the ethereal and the gritty. Not a great cover, but who cares about that? Except that there is a complete lack of information, so that I'm not even sure what label it's on. Is is 'absurd'? Anyway the music is really good and well worth hunting down.
