  • Anthony Braxton Five Pieces 1975
    Anthony Braxton Five Pieces 1975 ANTHONY BRAXTON Five Pieces 1975 Arista AL 4064 (LP) I would like to propose now, at the beginning of this discussion, that we set aside entirely the question of the ultimate worth of Anthony Braxton's music. There are those who insist that Braxton is the new Bird, Coltrane, and Ornette, the three-in-one who is singlehandedly taking the Next Step in jazz. There are others who remain unconvinced. History will decide, and while it is doing so, we can and should appreciate Braxton's music for its own immediate value, as a particularly contemporary variety of artistic expression. However, before we can sit down, take off our shoes, and place the enclosed record on our turntables, certain issues must be dealt with. People keep asking questions about Anthony Braxton, questions such as what does he think he is doing? Since these questions involve judgments we can make now, without waiting for history, we should answer them, and what better way to do so than to go directly to the man who is making the music? "Am I an improviser or a composer?" Braxton asks rhetorically, echoing more than one critical analysis of his work. "I see myself as a creative person. And the considerations determining what's really happening in the arena of improvised music imply an understanding of composition anyway. So I would say that composition and improvisation are much more closely related than is generally understood." This is exactly the sort of statement Braxton's detractors love to pounce on. Not only has the man been known to wear cardigan sweaters, smoke a pipe, and play chess; he is an interested in composing as in improvising.

This new recording, The 3dom Factor, features Barry Altschul’s new trio with saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Joe Fonda in a program of Altschul compositions. On January 6, 2013, Barry Altschul, who was born in the south Bronx and first started playing the drums on the local hard bop scene in the late 1950s, celebrated his 70th birthday. He is also quickly approaching five decades as a professional musician as his first “proper” gig was with the Paul Bley Trio at the inauguration of Slugs’, the (in)famous East Village bar, as a jazz club in 1964. In addition to playing with Bley, Altschul was active on New York’s bourgeoning free jazz scene of the 1960s, working with the likes of saxophonist Steve Lacy, trombonist Roswell Rudd as well as bassists Gary Peacock, Alan Silva and Steve Swallow and even performing with the Jazz Composer’s Orchestra. His familiarity with the tradition also led to performances with saxophonists Sonny Criss, Johnny Griffin, Lee Konitz, Art Pepper and Tony Scott, pianist Hampton Hawes and vocalist Babs Gonzalez, among others.

Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler.

  • Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World
    1 Chapter Seven Cold Commodities: Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World Haftor Medbøe Since gaining prominence in public consciousness as a distinct genre in early 20th Century USA, jazz has become a music of global reach (Atkins, 2003). Coinciding with emerging mass dissemination technologies of the period, jazz spread throughout Europe and beyond via gramophone recordings, radio broadcasts and the Hollywood film industry. America’s involvement in the two World Wars, and the subsequent $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe as a unified, and US friendly, trading zone further reinforced the proliferation of the new genre (McGregor, 2016; Paterson et al., 2013). The imposition of US trade and cultural products posed formidable challenges to the European identities, rooted as they were in 18th-Century national romanticism. Commercialised cultural representations of the ‘American dream’ captured the imaginations of Europe’s youth and represented a welcome antidote to post-war austerity. This chapter seeks to problematise the historiography and contemporary representations of jazz in the Nordic region, with particular focus on the production and reception of jazz from Norway. Accepted histories of jazz in Europe point to a period of adulatory imitation of American masters, leading to one of cultural awakening in which jazz was reimagined through a localised lens, and given a ‘national voice’. Evidence of this process of acculturation and reimagining is arguably nowhere more evident than in the canon of what has come to be received as the Nordic tone. In the early 1970s, a group of Norwegian musicians, including saxophonist Jan Garbarek (b.1947), guitarist Terje Rypdal (b.1947), bassist Arild Andersen (b.1945), drummer Jon Christensen (b.1943) and others, abstracted more literal jazz inflected reinterpretations of Scandinavian folk songs by Nordic forebears including pianist Jan Johansson (1931-1968), saxophonist Lars Gullin (1928-1976) bassist Georg Riedel (b.1934) (McEachrane 2014, pp.

  • Peter Johnston 2011
    The London School Of Improvised Economics - Peter Johnston 2011 This excerpt from my dissertation was included in the reader for the course MUS 211: Music Cultures of the City at Ryerson University. Introduction The following reading is a reduction of a chapter from my dissertation, which is titled Fields of Production and Streams of Conscious: Negotiating the Musical and Social Practices of Improvised Music in London, England. The object of my research for this work was a group of musicians living in London who self-identified as improvisers, and who are part of a distinct music scene that emerged in the mid-1960s based on the idea of free improvisation. Most of this research was conducted between Sept 2006 and June 2007, during which time I lived in London and conducted interviews with both older individuals who were involved in the creation of this scene, and with younger improvisers who are building on the formative work of the previous generation. This chapter addresses the practical aspects of how improvised music is produced in London, and follows a more theoretical analysis in the previous chapters of why the music sounds like it does. Before moving on to the main content, it will be helpful to give a brief explanation of two of the key terms that occur throughout this chapter: “free improvisation” and the “improvised music field.” “Free improvisation” refers to the creation of musical performances without any pre- determined materials, such as form, tonality, melody, or rhythmic feel. This practice emerged out of developments in jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in the work of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, who began performing music without using the song-forms, harmonic progressions, and steady rhythms that characterized jazz until that time.

    The Art of Making Mistakes Misha Alperin Edited by Inna Novosad-Maehlum Music is a creation of the Universe Just like a human being, it reflects God. Real music can be recognized by its soul -- again, like a person. At first sight, music sounds like a language, with its own grammatical and stylistic shades. However, beneath the surface, music is neither style nor grammar. There is a mystery hidden in music -- a mystery that is not immediately obvious. Its mystery and unpredictability are what I am seeking.

  • NEW ALBUM RELEASE - SIX & SIX | Swing to Bop
    NEW ALBUM RELEASE - SIX & SIX | Swing to Bop In 2019 RÊVE BOHÈME released their sixth album on the Norwegian Gypsy Jazz label Hot Club Records. As the album title refers to, RÊVE BOHÈME has picked SIX lesser-known swing compositions from their hero DJANGO REINHARDT and matched them with SIX bebop standards that Django loved to play! All the songs on the album have the characteristic acoustic sound of RÊVE BOHÈME and with their modern and dynamic interpretation of these classic songs RÊVE BOHÈME makes an exiting contribution to the contemporary Gypsy Jazz-scene today. SIX & SIX | Swing to Bop was recorded in one studio session with RÊVE BOHÈME having fun and playing live, choosing mostly “first takes” of the recorded material – so this album is a must for all Django-enthusiasts and Gypsy Jazz lovers! Line-up: Jens Fuglsang (lead guitar), Finn Poulsen (harmonica) Robert Pilgaard (rhythm guitar), Jesper Riis (double bass) The band / The story - www.reve.dk Rêve Bohème is from Denmark but played their first concert at the gypsy jazz restaurant Bistro d'Eustache in Paris, 1998. Since then they have been touring and playing clubs and festivals in Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, England, Germany, Holland, Greece and Poland. The band have played and performed with international gypsy jazz artists such as Dorado Schmidt, Robin Nolan, Andreas Öberg, Jon Larsen & HCN, Gustav Lundgren, Basily, Paulus Schäfer, Angelo Debarre, Gary Potter, Biel Ballester, Mozes Rosenberg - and many others. Over the years Rêve Bohème have recorded in different line-ups and musical settings. Their fusion between the Nordic and South- European traditions have always created a unique musical universe which can be heard on their five previous albums: Django goes North 2012 (Calibrated), Café Django 2009 (Calibrated), Best of Rêve Bohème 2007 (Hot Club Records), Django’s Dream 2005 (Calibrated) and Django Jalousie 2002 (Cope).

  • «Solo Duo Trio» – Christian Zehnder Di 22.05
    «Solo Duo Trio» – Christian Zehnder Di 22.05. / Mi 23.05. / Do 24.05.2018 Mitte Februar 2017 feierte Christian Zehnders Solo «songs from new space mountain» im Gare du Nord seine Uraufführung. Alle drei Premieren-Vorstellungen waren ausverkauft. Die Resonanz auf die Performance war so gross, dass eine Wiederaufnahme schon nach der Premiere im Raum stand. Im Mai 2018 bietet sich nun dem Publikum die Möglichkeit, das Solo «songs from new space mountain» nochmals (oder erstmals) zu sehen – darüber hinaus tritt er auch in zwei Formationen auf, die hier noch kaum bekannt sind: im Duo mit dem Drehorgelspieler Matthias Loibner und im Trio mit dem Hornisten Arkady Shilkloper und dem Pianisten John Wolf Brennan. Di 22.05.18 20:00 «songs from new space mountain» – Christian Zehnder Solo Eine Werkschau und Reise durch den unvergleichlichen Klangkosmos von Christian Zehnder – ein ausserirdischer Heimatabend (Wiederaufnahme) Mit neuen Kompositionen und Werken aus den letzten 20 Jahren führt uns der Stimmenkünstler Christian Zehnder in eine ganz eigenständige, archaische und geradezu ausserirdische Welt der Laute, die völlig ohne Worte auskommt. Der eigenwillige Schweizer Musiker, welcher schon mit dem Duo Stimmhorn die alpine Musik neu aufmischte und Kultstatus geniesst, lässt sich in seiner Vielfalt nicht einordnen. Auch muss man ihn live gesehen haben. Erst dann erschliesst sich sein zwischen Musik, Performance und visueller Ausdruckskraft angelegtes Werk in seiner ganzen Kraft und Faszination. Seit 25 Jahren stehen meine meisten künstlerischen Arbeiten im alpinen Kontext und einer Vision einer neuen klanglichen Utopie der Heimat. Daraus ist bis heute ein sehr persönliches und dennoch breitgefächertes Werk entstanden, welches die menschliche Stimme zwischen alpinem und urbanem Lebensraum zu befragen versucht und in den verschiedensten Disziplinen seine jeweilige Form findet.
