I can vouch for MACHINE GUN.

This one is from 1968 and it is all about raw power --
I think there are three tenors on here, Brotz, Evan Parker,
and Willem Breuker (who also plays bass clarinet on this?).
Tenor sax, that is.

Very free, somewhat similar in feeling to ASCENSION rather than 
FREE JAZZ.

I would say that if you are familiar with Brotz and his work
and like it you won't be disappointed by this one.  Otherwise,
check out his playing in LAST EXIT where it is not as dominant
a voice.

It is a classic in my eyes though.

He's never really lost his beautiful tone or sense of time. There's
an '84? ECM record under Alfred Harth's name, with Phillips, Paul
Bley, Maggie Nichols (more restrained than usual), and Trilok Gurtu.
Lovely, warm, melodic arco playing, and beautiful, wistful tunes.

I have this on LP as "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Album" on Exodus records, which
I think was a Vee-Jay subsidiary.  It was a cutout I bought about twenty years
ago.  You'd almost think the tapes were in the public domain, the way it keeps
reappearing on various labels!  The music is OK, the Exodus pressing is very
shrill.  A better mastering job would make it more listenable.

Subject: Weird Nightmare
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1992 03:31:17 GMT

Thoughts on "Weird Nightmare".

Gee, the opening is nice; I think that I'm listening to a John Zorn
soundtrack to a film about the Australian outback (but this is a Mingus
tribute, isn't it?).  There's a very nice tension built up; too bad it
doesn't go anywhere.  Then we get some oom pah pah, some cliched Frisell
guitar and then - gag - Robbie Robertson being spooky.  What an
embarrassment.  Then Elvis Costello doing his cover of "My Funny
Valentine" -- no, it's "Weird Nightmare".

Welcome to the latest Hal Willner tribute album.  I've been a fan of his
tributes, especially the Rota (volume 2 is coming, I read) and the
Weill.  This time I think he's blown it.  There is hardly any of Mingus
left in this music.  As Nat Hentoff wrote of Mingus in the liner to
"Cumbia and Jazz Fusion", "the hallmarks have included extraordinarily
strong, clear, resilient melodies".  I have trouble hearing them here --
they're buried under bad recitations or hidden behind gonging bowls or
played by Bill Frisell's very sterile guitar or Don Byron's cool as ice
clarinet.  "Also, there has always been Mingus's utterly singular way of
creating waves and seas of rhythm." There's hardly any rhythm here --
it's all sheen and drone.  And where are the saxophones? And the anger??
And the Race??? I know I risk censure here, but this is the whitest
sounding jazz album I've heard in awhile; given the sense of Blackness
and race identity that was at the core of Mingus' Art, I find this most
ironic.

The bottom line for me is that I just don't like this album; in fact
there are parts that I actively dislike.  All those
gloomy-sounding readers of Mingus' should have stayed home;  all except
Chuck D, whose masterpiece is the only thing keeping me from selling the
CD -- I love his minute as much as anything I've heard this year.  It's
really the only music that kicks ass on the whole disc and Mingus was
famous for being an ass kicker, no? And what follows it? An acoustic Bill
Frisell solo.  

True, there are some nice _sounds_ on this album, though at times I
think they are there only because they are interesting or startling. 
And they have nothing to do with the subject at hand, Mr.  Mingus. 
Perhaps in the right, practiced hands, these instuments might make
interesting music.  The right hands aren't present here. 

I think the problem is the "house band" approach -- the result is that
it all begins to sound the same, and I don't particularly like the sound.
You might, but I don't.  I won't make any claims that it was done for the
wrong reasons -- I'm sure that it was done with the best intentions, it
just doesn't work for me at all.

But hey, if someone is led to the source by this, then I guess it has
served a useful purpose.

Glenn

ps  Gary Giddins really skewered this album -- I'll type
it in for ya.  He approached it from a musical critical standpoint,
rather than my emotional one.  I think he hit a lot of points right on.

Well, whatever Phillips left behind made room for some awesome sonic
skills. Check him out on the oft-mentioned-in-these-pages duet album ARCUS
with Barry Guy or his very nice AQUARIAN RAIN on ECM, with music for solo
bass, percussion, and tapes. Cool stuff!! What straightahead lost free

I'd be very curious to know Barre's response, too.  Regardless of how you

It's a 3-CD set labelled Savoy Jazz ZDS 5500, and I want

If anyone has it, in good condition, with nothing

that's autographed by Max Roach, plus some money) then
I'd like to buy it.

on his newest record, Linear B (hat ART) he plays fluegel, trumpet
and soprano and NO tenor, leaving that to Andre Jaume, who also plays
some gorgeous bass clarinet.  Jaume seems to be McPhee's Steve Potts;
he's on most of McPhee's records, and they've even recorded a duet
album Tales & Prophecies (hat HUT 2R15).

this is typical of the variety found on his group records.  Oleo (hat
HUT, 1983) is a drummerless quartet with Jaume again, Raymond Boni
very distinctive on guitar and Francois Mechali on bass.  there are 2
takes of Oleo, I Remember Clifford and some originals.  a really fun
record that goes all over the map.  (unfortunately, this isn't among
those listed in cadence :-(

get Tenor (hat HUT C).  it's a solo date from 1976: wonderful,
big-hearted stuff.  hat HUT started out with mcphee as the main person
on their roster: the first 3 albums are all dates lead by him.  lots
of these records are still available in cadence, tho they're all
marked with asterisks, indicating that their numbers have dwindled.  i
don't own enough of 'em myself.  definitely get Linear B, the new one.

wish i could tell you more background & history, and i don't know what
Po Music is, other than i like it!

I found a "Two on One" CD consisting of "Live at the Regal" and "Live at

for the $10, how bad could it be?  The album really lives up to RMBers
