Actions 1966-67 Unheard Music Series UMS/ALP250CD CD £11.99 Wild out-of-nowhere document of the sound of four European free-thinkers blowing the beards offa entire theatres full of unbelievers with some immaculately squoze free jazz of the classic post-Eye & Ear Control vintage. These five played alongside Sunny Murray and a bunch of em made their mark as members of John Tchicai's Cadentia Nova Danica and Manfred Schoof's European Echoes group but they rarely sounded as beautifully out to lunch as they do here. Hugh Steinmetz on trumpet, Frank Beckerlee on alto sax, Niles Harrit on saw (giving the music a beautifully eerie high Industrial/gospel feel), Steffen Andersen on bass and Bo Thirge Andersen on drums. Liners by John Corbett and a bunch a pics. Highly recommended. |

Tiegel Unheard Music Series ALP261CD CD £11.99 Excellent 1981 session resurrected by Unheard Music Series, with Swiss soprano saxophonist Christoph Gallio joined by Urs Voerkel on piano and drums, Peter K Frey on double bass and trombone. Gutsy Euro austerity played with muscular poetry. |

Esteem: Live In Paris 1975 Unheard Music Series ALP260CD CD £12.99 Excellent new addition to the Unheard Music Series, this 1975 live set features the line-up of Lacy on soprano sax, Steve Potts on alto and soprano, Irene Aebi on cello and violin, Kent Carter on bass and Kenneth Tyler on percussion and inaugurates an on-going series of unissued performances preserved in the late saxophonist's cassette archive. Recording quality here is really nice, that slightly cavernous, rough-assed feel that reminds of Joe McPhee's early self-released LPs and the group are totally burning, moving from heavy, gospelised fire music through galloping modal drones and floor-storming hard rock/funk dynamics. Excellent. Includes liners from Jason Weiss. |
