RELEASES NEW & OLD FOR THEM POST-THANKSGIVING DAY BLUES - TRANSMISSION ON NOVEMBER 29th, 2002

1. STEVE LACY - 10 of Dukes + 6 Originals (Senators Records 01) An immensely splendid and wonderfully recorded live solo performance from the Egg Farm in Japan in October of 2000. Our favorite soprano sax master was invited to play an Ellington Anniversary Celebration in San Francisco the previous year, which inspired him to choose challenging gems from the Duke's vast repertoire and experiment with a variety of techniques he hadn't previously used to tackle these tunes. After that special night, he performed sets around the world doing what he calls the "10 of Dukes", an entire set of Duke's gems. The following year Mr. Lacy did this performance in Japan, the first set of Ellington treasures and the second set of six Lacy originals. The second set's songs were inspired by that of writings of Herman Melville, Jack Kerouac, Bob Kaufman, Ryokan and a joyous blues piece inspired by Stevie Wonder. An obvious love of Duke Ellington's remarkable music is at the center of the first set's magical performance, this is certainly some of Steve Lacy's finest playing I've heard. This incredible limited edition CD only release has no domestic (or international!) distribution and can only be purchased from your good friends here at DMG.
CD for $21.

2. DON CHERRY - Don Cherry [aka Orient] (Fruit Tree 825) Extremely rare, much sought after and marvelous sessions featuring two trios: one with the late contrabass legend Johnny Dyani (Blue Notes, Brotherhood of Breath) and Okay Temiz, the legendary Turkish percussion master on "Eagle Eye Part 1 & 2" and "Togetherness", recorded in Paris on April 22nd; the other trio features legendary Dutch drummer Han Bennink with Mocqui on tamboura on "Orient Part 1 & 2" and "Si Ta Ra Ma" recorded in Carpentras, France on August 11th, '71 -- and world traveler, free-spirited pocket trumpet god and multi-instrumentalist (piano, dousangooni and vocals) Don Cherry fronting both trios! These are amazing live recordings are from France and originally released as an ultra-rare BYG double album in Japan only (and one UK pressing in the late 70s titled Orient). Original Japanese release artwork The CD contains all material from the LP set uninterrupted.
Import CD for only $15.
(Still available as an import 2LP set for $22)

3. DON CHERRY - Blue Lake (Fruit Tree 826) Extremely rare and sought after recordings featuring Don Cherry on trumpets, piano, dousangooni and vocals with the late contrabass legend Johnny Dyani (Blue Notes, Brotherhood of Breath) and Okay Temiz, the legendary Turkish percussion master; and we believe (though you can't tell from the original Japanese text replicated here) Dollar Brand [Abdullah Ibrahim] makes it a quartet on "Dollar's Tune" ! These are amazing live recordings from 1971, and previous to this ONLY released as an ultra-rare BYG double album in Japan. Original Japanese release artwork, high quality 2 LP set. The CD contains all 5 cuts from the LP set uninterrupted.
Import CD for only $15.

(So when is somebody gonna release Don's Organic Music Society on CD?!?!?!)

4. THE RAS MOSHE ENSEMBLE - Schematic (Jump Arts 004) Featuring Ras on tenor sax, Matana Roberts on alto sax, Matt LaVelle on trumpet & bass clarinet, Reut Regev on trombone, James Duncan on trumpet, Dave Brandt on vibes, Matt Heyner & Todd Nicholson on basses and Jackson Krall on drums. This treat was recorded live at Roulette in April of this year and features a fine crew of mostly feisty, young avant-jazz players hungry to unleash their spirits. Three longs tracks which clock in at over 73 minutes and soar high and wide with focused freedom. Jackson Krall is a powerful drummer who spent years in Cecil Taylor's most recent trio and whips us a storm as both bassists burn and new vibes contender Dave Brandt swirl together profusely and push each soloist higher and higher. Watch out for Reut Regev, an Israeli woman who smokes on trombone and plays the first fine solo here. Matt LaVelle kicks hard on trumpet, Ms. Matana Roberts brings the energy back down as she takes her time in building her restrained yet colorful solo, Ras also starts slowly as some great bowed bass buzzes before he erupts his screaming Pharoah-like shrieks - showing his finesse a great new downtown spirit force. Ras is one of the most well informed local scholars of free-jazz history and whose music mixes the various threads of the avant-jazz streams. Each of these three long works deals with different approaches. "Habari Gani" has a quirky, moderate tempo walking bass line, which gives each of the soloists an odd rhythmic challenge to works with. Matt's bass clarinet shows a thoughtful side as he also weaves with some fine arco bass. The piece slows down near the end to add some suspense to the proceedings as ghost-like sounds float around and the final piece "Solar Boats" begins with the vibes droning into a mist. Once more everyone takes impressive and mysterious solos, creating other worlds somber turbulence. A most impressive first effort from one of our favorite newer downtown heroes, Ras Moshe will play here at DMG this Sunday December 1st at 7pm with a smaller version of his wonderful ensemble.
CDR only release for $13.

5. IVA BITTOVA - Iva Bittova' J. H. (Indies MAM 186; Czech Republic) This 16 track retrospective from the last 15 years of amazing vocalist/violinist Iva's recordings includes otherwise unavailable/unreleased cuts ("Gloomy Sunday" from the film 'The Men Who Cried' and "Kaddish" done for a historical stage presentation) and well-picked songs/pieces from her back catalogue (many of which are out-of-print anyway) as far back as 1987. Beautiful, strange and haunting melodies, a great facility on her instrument and a voice that takes on many personas - an instrument in itself - if you've ever heard her, you know she firmly belongs in the pantheon of the great international "Downtowners"...and why we go out of our way to stock whatever is available on her by dealing directly with the labels in Eastern Europe. Recommended! Her recent solo set at the Knit was one of the year's highlights for us.
Import only CD for $16

HALF DOZEN + RELEASES FROM OUR FAVORITE BRITISH GIANTS:

6. EVAN PARKER/BARRY GUY/PAUL LYTTON - At Les Instants Chavirés (PSI 02.06) Live recordings from the famous club in Montreuil, France made in 1997. 71 minutes of previously unissued, incredible and intense improvisations from one of the greatest British trios featuring Evan Parker on tenor & soprano saxophones, Barry Guy on contrabass and Paul Lytton on drums/percussion.
CD only release for $17.

7. EVAN PARKER & GEORGE LEWIS - From Saxophone & Trombone (PSI 02.04) Their first fabulous duo recording made in 1980 and finally reissued. Two giants on their respective horns, one British legend of saxophone multiphonic explorations and the other an AACM all-star trombone master, composer and professor.
CD only release for $17.

8. EVAN PARKER & PAUL LYTTON - Collective Calls [Urban/Two Microphones] (PSI 02.05) The first published recordings of this duo was made in 1972. This rare reissue is an extraordinary improvised urban psychodrama in eight parts which is almost fifty minutes in length.
CD only release for $17.

9. PAUL RUTHERFORD - Chicago 2002 (Emanem 4082) Rutherford's appearance at the Empty Bottle Festival was his first visit to America apart from two previous tours in orchestra situations only. His superb 31 minute trombone solo shows him still to be at the top of his game, with a few incredible solo trombone efforts already under his belt. The following day he was asked to organize a septet with Jeb Bishop (trombone), Lol Coxhill (soprano saxophone), Mats Gustafsson (tenor saxophone), Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello & electronics), Kent Kessler (double bass) and Kjell Nordeson (percussion). They performed a concerto featuring the wonderful Lol Coxhill and a free improvisation. 77 minutes and all previously unissued.
CD only release for $17.

10. CHRIS BURN ENSEMBLE - Horizontals White (Emanem 4080) The whole of two totally improvised performances from London's Red Rose and Conway Hall with Chris Burn (piano & percussion), John Butcher (soprano & tenor saxophones), Mark Wastell (cello), John Russell (guitar) and Matt Hutchinson (synthesizer & electronics) and Rhodri Davies (harp). A smaller ensemble than on their three previous CDs, but sounding larger at times. Each release by the Chris Burn Ensemble has blown me away and this is one is also amazing British improv at its finest! 58 minutes long and previously unissued.
CD only release for $17.

11. ROGER SMITH - Spanish Guitar (Emanem 4083) The long awaited reissue of Roger Smith's 1980 LP which finds his distinctive acoustic guitar improvising fully formed. Also included are some previously unissued solos from the 1990s recorded at three very different gigs, which show his prowess to be even better. A great reissue with extra unreleased material and nearly 70 minutes in length.
CD only release for $17.

12. ROLAND RAMANAN - Shaken (Emanem 4081) Trumpeter Roland Ramanan (who doubles on wooden flutes) has been quietly enriching the London scene for some 15 years now. For the first CD under his leadership, he presents his imaginative current quartet which spans the ground between Free Improvisation and Free Jazz. With two of England's finest string improvisers - Marcio Mattos on cello & electronics, Simon H. Fell on double bass and the ever-amazing Mark Sanders on drums & percussion. 72 minutes long and all previously unissued.
CD only release for $17.

13. LUNGE - Strong Language (Emanem 4079) The second strong release by this talented improvising quartet which features Gail Brand on trombone, Phil Durrant doing electronics and acoustic violin, Pat Thomas playing electronics and acoustic piano and Mark Sanders on percussion. The whole of their superb 2002 Amsterdam Bimhuis concert is included, augmented by two studio tracks from 2000. 61 minutes and all previously unissued.
CD only release for $17.

14. MEL GRAVES - Ear Shot/The Music of Mel Graves (mutable 17510) I've known of west coast contrabass great Mel Graves since his work with Jerry Hahn and Denny Zeitlin in the sixties. His rhythm team soul mate George Marsh has been playing drums with Mel since those days as well and is also on this session. The rest of Mel's septet includes players I am less familiar with - Bob Afifi on flute, Al Bent on trombone, Pete Estabrook on trumpet, Harvey Wainapel on tenor sax and Randy Vincent on guitar. The opening track is a fine uptempo jazz groove piece with the infectious rhythm team pushing the fine tenor sax and guitar into playing strong, engaging solos. Bob Afifi plays some elegant flute on the Latin tune "Picturing You", with nice horn arrangements surrounding and great, melodic solos from the bass and trumpet. Mel has written some complex, rambunctious works, "For Smith" starts with a stormy intro, but then switches direction to a more somber, yet dark and dreamy terrain, with Harvey's tenor playing a great slow-burn Trane-like solo. George's ever-inventive drums are at the center of "Revisiting Higgins" and continually shift the dynamic flow throughout with immense finesse and providing the fire with Mel's fabulous bass as the flute and guitar both take quick superb solos. What is so great about this entire affair is that all the participants play with restrained yet inventive fire throughout, the smoothness of the sound is due to the beauty of the a great studio it was recorded in. Adventurous music, that is never too far out, but still endlessly complex and provocative.
CD only release for $10.

15. UZVA - Niittoaika (Silence 011) Wonderful Finnish often acoustic septet whose instrumentation includes guitars, cello, violin, flute, clarinet, bass, vibes and percussion. Beautiful, haunting and completely enchanting with dreamy, majestic and melancholy trance-like wonders which unfold in long flowing epic-like suites. Nice mix of Finnish folk melodies with progressive elements and some jazzy rhythms and tasty solos. Both the el. bassist and el. guitarist take some great bluesy solos as the tempo increases to near boiling point at the end of the first piece. Most impressive, appropriate and just slightly weird cover art, as well.
Scandinavian import CD only release for $17.

16. CHIAKI YOSHIHARA - Ghost (People's Records 0002) The enchanting Ms. Yoshihara just paid us a visit while she was in town, played a gig at CB's and left us with her rather unique cd. She sings and plays guitars and keyboards and is backed by another Japanese band called Ghost, not the one many of us have heard before. This Ghost (a trio) did the arrangements and play keyboards, violin and bass, with a guest drummer. Chiaki occasionally reminds me of Patti Smith, but sings mostly in her native tongue. It begins with an uptempo drone rocker with some spinning violin, piano and el. bass. Track 2 is starts somber and majestically, but later picks up speed to a frantic section, but then slows down once again. Track 3 shows a quaint, cute side, reminding me of some charming sixties psych ditty. Track 6 has a calm, sad and charming vibe and the next trrack features some lovely harpsichord and enchanting vocals. Overall, this reminds me of a long-lost sixites gem, which embraces a few different genres - folk-rock and ethereal pop. There is suspenseful element on track 8 which sounds like an eerie nursery rhyme with some exotic acoustic string thing being twisted a bit and some strange piano sprinkles as well. This cd ends with three live songs which are well recorded and rock a bit, although they are done on acoustic guitar and percussion with good use of the echo effects. An odd, yet rather endearing offering from Ms. Yoshihara.
Japanese import CD only release for $15.

3 HARD-TO-FIND CD RELEASES FROM JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER:

17. JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER - Change (Textile Records 2) This is the new one from that weird northern west coast avant/folk/rock octet, who have just toured Europe and returned with a few copies of this rare import release. They begin in peaceful folk heaven with acoustic guitar(s), harmonica, percussion and melancholy drifting vocals. JOMF do a great job playing dreamy, mildly disturbing psychedelic landscapes where sounds often manipulated as the float through a slowly evolving kaleidoscope of soft colors. There is backwoods tribal quality to chugging rhythms and the hazy ghost-like images wander through the scenery. There is a magical alien glue that holds it altogether, which is hard to describe, but most familiar to former (and current) stoners like myself.
CD only release with no domestic distribution at present for $16.

18. JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER - Figure 5 (Road Cone 024) This bizarre offering is from 2000 and features a larger ten piece line-up, with a couple of guests on a few tracks. JOMF here cover three traditional Americana tunes - "Go Down, Old Hannah", "Chiapas!" and "Amazing Grace" (that's right Raymon). From the industrial humming electronic drones at the start, with some processed sax (?) a' buzzing to sinister bent strings and occasional percussive spice and a distant Amalgamated Children's Chorus, to more swirling psychedelic earthy goofiness. The traditional tunes have a nice twisted charm and seem to organically grow out of the freer sections. The dreamy laid back sections stretch out time like a lazy day in spring and feel nice. Completely cool cardboard packing with illuminating text from Alan Lomax on the history of "Amazing Grace". Somewhere between the warped charm of No Neck Blues Bin and Sun City Girls, lies the innocent alien cosmic flow of Jackie-O MF.
Another difficult to find CD only release for $14.

19. JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER - Liberation (Road Cone 031) This is the JOMF CD release that I have seen previously, so we know it has available before and is from 2001. It was recorded in Portland, Oregon and contains all originals, except for Dino Valente's "Something on You Mind". Once again, we find ourselves being sucked into the unnerving, yet well crafted world of alien transmissions, which continually mutate, glow, flutter and evolve through waves of strange and often somber sounds. The opening benediction is called "Peace on Earth" and does begin calmly, but soon shifts into a more disturbing series of nervous waves. Eventually waves shimmering psych guitars shimmer and mesmerize like one of those magical Dead jams. A long (73 minute) journey through slowly evolving dreamscapes, sometimes haunting, sometimes scary, but always fascinating.
Another difficult to find CD only release for $14.

20. TERRY RILEY - Keyboard Studies CD (MDG 1135) Performed by Steffen Schleiermacher (keyboard realization and programming) and Bernd E. Gengelbach (sound projection). Minimal music and its strangely fascinating suspended sound animation have long held cult status in the musical world. On this CD Schleielermacher offers more new innovations with Riley's "Keyboard Studies #1" and "Studies #2". The studies are a few pages with short musical formulas and a long 'user's guide' requiring a lot of thought and organizational energy before things can be put into practice. Schleiermacher soon recognized that one interpreter alone couldn't realize the tricky polyphony of the keyboard studies. He arranged the pieces for electronic keyboard; a computer exercises the proper control, so that the voices are never heard simultaneously and the tones occur in rapid succession. An oscillating sound fabric results -- in dimensions creating the impression of eternity.
CD only release for $16.

21. MORTON FELDMAN - String Quartet No. 2 (Mode 112) Morton Feldman's monumental String Quartet No.2 is in one unbroken movement. The Flux Quartet performance is complete, lasting a total of 6 hours 7 minutes and 7 seconds. Available in 2 Editions: a 5-CD set or complete and uninterrupted on 24-bit audio DVD! In the 1970s Feldman took up the study and collecting of antique Turkish rugs, a highly evolved and exquisite folk art. The rugs are intricately patterned, symmetrical in basic design but with constant variation and displacement in the detailed execution of that design; strikingly and subtly colored, including fine variegations of principal colors resulting from the dyeing process. Analogies are clear to Feldman's music as it takes up large-scale patterning, partly working with his familiar subtle gradations of rhythm and instrumental color and ostinati, loops or extended repetitions of a sounds, partly -- and especially in this second string quartet -- continually finding new and surprising qualities of color. There are a number of sounds in this piece unlike anything one has heard from a string quartet. One can experience the work uninterrupted complete with no need to change discs on the DVD Edition.
Available as a 5 CD set for $30 or as a single DVD for $40.

22. GYAN RILEY - Food For The Bearded (New Albion) Great album of mysterious and maybe even a little dark compositions for guitar and other guests from this fine young guitarist, who contributed the brilliant opening track to our "156 Strings" collection. New Albion is pleased to announce the solo debut of guitarist and composer Gyan Riley. This set of compositions describes a path that started in what surely must have been a most unique household. Now, at the age of 25, his complete command of the canon for nylon string guitar is wedded with a Northern California sensibility for improvisation and drift. Gyan, born in California in 1977, is the son of renowned avant garde composer and North Indian raga vocalist Terry Riley. Gyan is currently the artistic director for the San Francisco Classical Guitar Society. Gyan (the word means 'knowledge' in Hindi) is the only person to have been named by Pandit Pran Nath, when Terry and Ann announced they were expecting, Pran Nath proclaimed "Gyan Shankar is coming." He certainly is.

A WIDE VARIETY of CLASSIC AVANT-JAZZ & PROGRESSIVE REISSUES & HISTORIC RECORDINGS for your LISTENING PLEASURE:

27. SOFT MACHINE - Live at the Paradiso (Turning Point Music 212) Recorded live at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on 3/29/69 with Robert Wyatt on drums and vocals, Hugh Hopper (replacing Kevin Ayers) on fuzz-bass and Mike Ratledge on fuzz-organ and electric piano. 'Live At The Paradiso', the only live recording of the Soft Machine available from this period, captures the band at its frenzied creative early peak. Featuring material from the band's amazing second album. Not available on CD at present time.
LP only release for $15.

28. THIRD EAR BAND - Raga Live (Turning Point Music 216) Although the Third Ear Band recorded for Harvest (home to many of Britain's leading progressive rock acts) in the late 1960s, the group was more of an experimental ensemble, relying on strictly acoustic instruments, such as violin, oboe, cello and hand drumming. Founder and drummer Glen Sweeney used the term "raga" to describe their music because the melodies and trance-like rhythmic patterns used were inspired by the classical music of India. Not available on CD at present time.
LP only release for $15.

29. BONDAGE FRUIT - Selected (Pangea Music 2016) A now out of print compilation from their first three albums, all of which are also now out of print. This includes 3 tracks from their amazing first album, as well as one track from 'II' and 'III Recit'. Bondage Fruit were part of the Japanese Zeuhl (Magma-like) explosion of the early 1990's, along with Koenjihyakkei and Happy Family, and this is somewhat similar to these bands and similarly great. Certainly one of the finest Japanese progressive bands of all time!
CD only reissue collection for $14.

30. DAVID MURRAY & THE LOW CLASS CONSPIRACY - Flowers for Albert (West Wind 2039) This is live set from the Bimhuis in Amsterdam in August of 1977, during the early loft jazz days and it features an all-star line-up of David on tenor sax, Butch Morris on cornet, Don Pullen on piano, Fred Hopkins on bass and (currently arch-conservative blowhard) Stanley Crouch on drums. The opening track is the title tune and is a rather swaggering gospelish tune which has a drunken off-kilter groove, short and sweet. "Patricia - Lost and Lonely" is an aptly titled somber, free piece which turns into a sad and eloquent ballad. "Holy Seige on Intrique" is quiet long (almost 42 minutes) and moves through different sections, first with a trio of Don on playful piano, Fred on buzzing bass and Stanley doing a freer version of Ed Blackwell's organic spinning drums, I just wish the piano was in the same room as the drums, which are a bit louder, but not as closely mic'd. Don goes further out as the piece progresses, finally exploding into intense free blowing with some powerful and heavy blowing from David's immense tenor by the halfway point and eventually Butch Morris sails in and also erupts, with horns soaring for the stratosphere. "Joann's Green Satin Dress" is another, somewhat bent piece in which Don at times sounds like he is playing in his own world as Butch takes a somber, quirky and cool solo. Nice to hear Butch soloing, since he no longer plays that cornet and only does his conductions. This is mostly a fine and historic recording, too bad Don's great piano is a bit removed.
CD only release for $14.

ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO - Live In Berlin [2 CD Set] (Westwind 2051; Germany) This is a well-recorded concert from March 3rd '79, making it prime creative playing for this unit, coming before the stagnation developed during the early '80s ECM years and the even glossier and less adventurous DIW years of the late '80s-early '90s. Absolutely stunning versions/variations of "Dreaming Of The Master", " A Jackson In Your House", "As If It Were The Seasons" and three other pieces make for a seamless voyage through all the territories this unit is hallowed for, ranging from post-bop to tribal to free form madness. This was likely an original double LP (though we've never seen it!) in Europe as the times for each disc would seem to indicate (about 40 minutes per disc).
2 CD Set for only $18

32. DRANSFIELD -The Fiddler's Dream (Transatlantic 462) Charming British folk-rock, led by brothers Barry (vocals, electric and acoustic fiddles, electric dulcimer, cello, guitar, zither) and Robin (vocals, guitar) Dransfield, with Brian Harrison (vocals, bass, organ, piano) and Charlie White (drums). They recorded two albums in 1970/71 and then split up for other things, such as Morris On with various Fairport Convention members. In 1976, the brothers joined up again to make this, their final album. High quality folk rock, "one of the great 'lost' albums from the Transatlantic catalog" reissued on CD for the first time in excellent sound and with new liner notes by Robin.
CD only reissue for $10.

BEAK DOCTOR, an improv label from San Francisco in the late 70s-early '80s that released several great LPs, some in conjunction with Metalanguage, is reviving its presence/catalogue in both new material on CD (and LP!) and re-issue CDs. The first out is the all new...

33. GREG GOODMAN/MATS GUSTAFSSON/GEORGE CREMASCHI - They Were Gentle And Pretty Pigs (Beak Doctor 7) Recorded live at Woody Woodman's Finger Palace 2/5-6/99 in Berkeley. From the liner notes:" Greg Goodman: unprepared piano and objets d'interieur; Mats Gustafson: imposing saxophones, disgruntled flute; George Cremaschi: contrabass & very strict rulers" Indeed!
