CECIL TAYLOR - BLUE NOTES - MANFRED SCHOOF - MISHA MENGELBERG - THEO LOEVENDIE "FRANCE - ANTIBES+" (1964-69)
This is not music or more exactly it is music but with footage from the respective concerts.
Culled from the French TV.
Among others we have the first concert of the Blue Notes in Europe, just arriving from South-Africa. After the concert and some weeks playing in Antibes at the beach (and elsewhere) they embarked to Zürich were they got offered Dollar Brand's place at the Cafe Africana.
The movie (~ 1:40) is not in high definition but the quality is easily good enough to enjoy these concerts and in case of Taylor's Unit something rather special.

Friedrich Gulda-Nachtricht Vom Lande-(Brain - 500.018 lp) 1976)
This is one of Gulda's Lesser known records , oddly enough produced for a label , that specialised in so called 'Kraut Rock', Great bands such as Wolfgang Dauner's Etcetera, Neu, Harmonia,Guru Guru and Embryo as well as tedious forgettable Euro trash, like Birth Control, Jane and Scorpions.. this now unfortunately rare double lp, is the most experimental jazz related outing on the cult label, and is regrettably despite being among the best things on the label almost unknown , certainly little heard ....
it deserves better , its a neglected Masterpiece!
Gulda , was one of 20th Century Musics Controversial Eccentrics, Starting his Career as a concert Pianist performing relatively conventional standard repertoire , he developed a reputation as a highly individual interpreter of Mozart, Bach, Schubert and so forth.
by the Fifties his interest turned more and more towards Modern Jazz, his first jazz record 1957's, at Birdland is considered a minor Classic,as is his wildly varied and experimental series of records for MPS, running the Gamut of everything from Third Stream big band , to Funky piano trios, solo free improvisation ,jazz rock and world fusion , to an Extraordinary ,very Bizzare 1971 collaboration with Hippie freak Out Outsiders , Paul And Limpe Fuchs' aka Anima Sound....
This record continues along that same Trajectory, and its basically a series of improvised Jams , with an occasional , structure , or short recurring theme thrown in for good measure..
the Mysterious Ursula Anders , was Gulda's life partner, and plays percussion and various objects on this .... when i originally found this gem 20 something years ago, off course i had no idea , who Gulda was , and was largely interested in Cecil taylor , Surman, Phillips , Mangelsdorff , and Stu Martin (whom incidently at around this time were performing and recording together as Mumps)... that all changed , i am now an Avid Gulda fan ... , it ISVexing that so little of his fairly large body of work is currently available ...
Hope you enjoy this as much as i do , i have only given the rip a very minor surface clean ... its not an ECM cd , and i refuse to make it sound like one..,
we can only hope that in due course a properly mastered edition , of this including perhaps the material from the Concert which it is rumoured was left off the double lp...

Please note , have not separated the 2 tracks on D , they run together anyway, NOTE the source vinyl is in only fair condition , playable but very crackly , these are the raw materials do with them what you will.. if anyone has a better rip, post it , if you want to clean this up and repost it here by all means do so.
Ursula Anders and Gulda ,recorded several other Albums together for Interchord, Amadeo.. well worth tracking down is 1980's 'Opus Anders '
i have a very worn Barely playable copy , and am looking to buy Cd which i believe was reissued on Amadeo.
buy some available items if you have the Opportunity
cheers

UPDATE- a friend has kindly ripped his own copy , which is in much better shape than mine , i'm deleting my links .... he says he doesnt like the album much , feels that its a complete mismatch .... anyhow here are his links
