Just heard the sad news that Johannes Bauer has died, a few weeks shy of 62 (confirmed on the website of his brother and co-'bonist Conny) - very sorry to hear this.

Playing this duo concert recording of theirs, recorded live in 1993

When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

Sorry, I don't get the joke - a google search brings up weird christian crap such as this, with which I want no relation whatsoever.

Thread duty:




The first one, by Marie Krüttli, is from last year, but I only just got it (and her 2014 trio album - I think her only two records so far), the Alessi was recorded two years ago but is brand new (why is ECM often so slow?) - and this is my first listen (to both - already played Krüttli's trio record a few days ago but think I failed to mention it here).

It was Art Farmer's pseudonym on a Teo Macero album. See here8)

Oh, I see - was totally unaware of that!  :)

Now playing, a disc from 2013 with a good friend on tenor, picked up from the sales bins today:



Keller's 10 - Two (Unit, 2013) - good stuff, clever arrangements and making use of the sonic palette on offer (2 t/flh, tb, btb/tuba, as/fl, 2 ts/bcl, p/fender rhodes, b, d/perc - the leader is conducting)

How did you like that one?

I saw it at a local shop recently. I'm always curious about a record with Ron Carter on it.

It was just a first listen, but I really liked that one. Its understated and at a constant simmer rather than ever boiling, but without ever being too gentle or easy. All three musicians are well captured and showcased, but Frisell is clearly leading - if that makes a difference. The song selection you'll see at a glance looks overly eclectic, but they nevertheless achieved something beautifully consistent.

playing now:



Gianluigi Trovesi - Dedalo (2007)
Jimmy Lyons / Sunny Murray / John Lindberg - Jump Up (rec.1980)

king ubu

"Touchin' on Trane" and "Jump Up", are, as they say, "da shit"!

Anyone just remotely interested in this kind of music, and anyone into Jimmy Lyons (in many ways the true heir to Charlie Parker, I think ... Eric Dolphy was another but his flame stopped burning way too soon) should consider this great box set:

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach
