BLEY, PAUL

LIVE IN HAARLEM

28.08.99

A live recording from 1966, this seems to be a typical type of gig Paul Bley was doing with his trio during this time. The versions of tunes are extended, meaning there is only room for two on an LP, one per side. As for the quality of the playing, fans of the pianist would want to hope this is not typical, as this date comes off as kind of uninspired. Of the two pieces, "Blood" is the more aggressive, and Bley seems to lack energy here. Barry Altschul tries mightily, then tries too hard on the flip side, a rhythmically bumbling version of "Mister Joy," in this case credited to Bley rather than Annette Peacock and not really sounding much like this tune as recorded on the later Bley and Peacock albums with synthesizer.

BYAS QUARTET, DON

ANTHROPOLOGY

18.01.03

1963 Recordings, This superlative set (in which he is backed by pianist Bent Axen, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer William Schiopffe) finds Byas stretching out in a club on five jazz standards; listen to him tear into "Anthropology" and "Billies's Bounce." It is hard to believe, listening to this heated music, that Byas (who would live until 1972) only would be recorded twice more as a leader.

This CD reissue is quite valuable for Ibrahim (in a trio with bassist Johnny Gertze and drummer Makaya Ntshoko) performs the intriguing title cut, brief versions of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "Mamma" and a rather hypnotic suite.

CECIL'S BOOGIE

28.08.99

A second generous helping of boogies and blues by "the G.I. Sing-Sation," as Pvt. Gant was billed on his earliest mid-'40s sides for Gilt-Edge. His thundering boogie piano style on "We're Gonna Rock," "Nashville Jumps," and "Cecil Boogie" presaged the rise of rock & roll.

Sax (Alto); In 1978, Pukwana founded Jika Records and formed his own band, Zila, featuring South Africans Lucky Ranku on guitar and powerful vocalist Miss Pinise Saul. Zila recorded Zila Sounds (1981), Live in Bracknell and Willisau (1983), and Zila (1986), the last with keyboardist Django Bates and Pukwana increasingly using soprano sax. In duo with John Stevens, he recorded the free session They Shoot to Kill (Affinity 1987), dedicated to Johnny Dyani.

WILSON, TEDDY

SOLO

25.05.96

26 piano solos by Teddy Wilson had ever been released before. Made as radio transcriptions, the performances are all quite brief (none reach the three-minute mark) but are particularly valuable, as 12 of the selections are Wilson originals, the majority of which were never recorded again. The pianist also performs swinging versions of a variety of standards and was clearly in his early prime when cutting these highly enjoyable sides.
