The Keith Tippett Group

Please note, two new remastered releases on Esoteric Recordings.
We are talking about two classic British jazz releases, Keith Tippet Group´s "You are here...I am there" (1970) and "Dedicated to you, but you weren´t listening" (1971).

The band on the first album: Keith Tippett (p), Elton Dean (as), Marc Charig (cornet), Jeff Clyne (bass), Nick Evans (tb) and Alan Jackson (dr).

The band on "Dedicated to you...": Keith Tippett (p), Elton Dean (as), Marc Charig (Cornet), Nick Evans (tb), Roy Babbington (b), Neville Whitehead (b), Robert Wyatt (dr, and some voc), Phil Howard (dr) and Bryan Spring (dr).

Great big band-impro-jazz-rock (oh come on, it´s jazz, don´t get mad at me), with newly written essays by Sid Smith.

I got my copies quite cheap from Amazon (UK), but if you only want one of them, get "Dedicted to you..", with Roger Dean cover and all!

Thus:Owls - Sea Song

Here is Robert Wyatt´s "Sea Song" by Thus:Owls.

Post Image invite John Greaves

Here you get John Greaves together with Post Image, doing "Smile". "Smile" seems to be a track on both the band´s 2012 album "Mandragore" and a best of album, also released in 2012.

Joining the queue to become one of those ordinary ghosts

Care for some slow growing improv, where the instruments almost melt together into one organism?
Try the new album from Koboku Senjû "Joining the queue to become one of those ordinary ghosts" (2013).

The musicians:

Martin Taxt - tuba
Tetuzi Akiyama - guitar
Toshimaru Nakamura - no-input mixing board
Eivind Lønning - trumpet
Espen Reinertsen - saxophone

The music was recorded live at Caféteateret, Oslo, 31 August 2011.

Download Koboku Senju´s new album, and both their SOFA releases, over at Bandcamp.
Pay at least 40 NOK for each album (that is around 5,5 EUR). I like all of them!

On Bandcamp you may also read some strange liner notes by David Sylvian.

BOREALIS 2013

This year´s Borealis (festival for contemporary experimental music and sound art) is happening in Bergen 6 - 10 March.

It may become a grim month of March, since the festival theme is "The End", but the program is promising still!

It all starts with garbage, and Lasse Marhaug ´s "Søppelmusikk (for to avfallsovner)" ("Waste Music (for two furnaces)"), and I´m happy to say that Peter Blegvad and Richard Skelton is coming to town!

There will also be performances in Espen Sommer Eide´s March exhibition at Bergen Kunsthall.

LOL!

Lol Coxhill has been a regular visitor to this blog, free improvising or playing with Kevin Ayers (and others), and here he is again in the sweetest video! Take some minutes with Lol Coxhill, Steve Beresford and Tony Coe in church!

Hans ST. is writing on YouTube: "Recorded with my Canon HI8 Camcorder: the 31st of August 1996.
Place: a small church in Oostum, a small village in the north of the Netherlands (Holland)..."

By the way, anyone writing a Lol Coxhill biography?
