This is really pretty awesome.  At 4:35 the music gels into a fantastic groove set up by Mario Castronari’s bass line which is taken up by Elton Dean’s most lyrical, story-telling invention, Tony Levin’s magnificent funky, swinging shuffle and Keith Tippett’s  perfectly timed chords and wonderfulness.  Magic!

Always in memory of the greats Elton Dean and Tony Levin.  Turn it up!

All i can say is that this music has some primal atavistic soul  searching quality ,which challenges and ultimately offends the dull mediocre stultifying formalism &/conservatism of our era shaped as it is by a cold heartless, bloodless consumer consensus global economy.

One could quite happily reside in the vacuum .of this music... the drag is having to snap out of such deep dream listening states , and be jolted back to a harsh unyielding reality of alienation, imminent decay and  collapse.
This album has just that inexplicable shamanic power. all misanthropic repulsion aside....its so joyously alive...and vulnerable.

Hamiet Bluiett , is a faith healer of sorts ,who purveys an aural balm , which will in large enough doses sensitize one to the injustice of being trapped in an ever encroaching nightmare , and who therefore deserves support.

(click on the back cover for the line up and other info).... its a great band with Olu Dara , and Phillip Wilson.. in great form.
Some of the best records of Bluiett's in print can be bought from Cam Jazz who own the black saint catalog, they are selling them as both downloads and physical cds.
Jazz based Music of the late 70's doesnt get much better than Resolution or dangerously Suite

And here's my favorite band of Bluiett's , the same that also made 'Resolution'on Black Saint,the deep empathetic chemistry , with Pullen dating back to the Mingus band of a few years before ,very much in evidence here.

Sobre una nube was originally released as the India Navigation Lp SOS,

This double disc features the whole concert pretty much unedited.

This is the second release on the tiny imprint CAW. The first one you'll find here.

Found this LP by chance as I didn't know it existed at all - it was filed as "Rock"...which probably was a joke. I don't know wether CAW made more than two LPs but I'm glad they reorded Roger Turner's solo.
Always liked percussion solo and this outing is a fine example of the respective art.

I don't imagine that there are many fans of this music who don't have this indispensable minor masterpiece  by,one of the greatest bands of their day.... it is as far as i know out of print , although if memory serves  it has been bootlegged on CD.

A live Parisian recording of dubious provenance  originally released on the Italian Durian label ,  this predates  THE  marvelous Symphony for improvisers , on which Cherry employed an expanded version of this basic quintet...With Ed Blackwell Cherry's friend and favourite drummer instead of Romano who plays on this.
superb music in less than high fidelity  .
ENJOY!!..


PS- i'm posting it by way of experimenting with a suitable file host  since quite a few people are struggling to use Mega.... basically this upload is a shot in the dark .

this is what they say at all music:
pianist Glenn Horiuchi's second album as a leader is a strong effort. Horiuchi mixes together his Japanese heritage with inside/outside jazz, creating explorative and unpredictable yet often melodic music.

For Newk. From The Sonet Recordings double CD, I kept only "Eternal Now", as "Live Ankara" is pretty useless due to poor recording quality.
