Bought the Double LP 20.4.1985 45 mk Ladyland H:ki

 

Loved Jarrett ever since he played with Charles Lloyd in the 60's. And then in Miles Davis fusion band in the early 70's.

He started his own solo projects already in early 70's (Facing You 1971). The 1st major live solo concert was in Switzerland 1973 (Bremen - Lausanne) and after that came this famous Köln Concert. Jarrett plays very romantic, beautiful melodies, and he makes it with breath taking intensity.

I bought this double LP in mid 80's but I had it already on tape in the 70's (from my brother-in-law) - never seen Jarrett live.

Keith Jarrett piano, composer

Prod. Manfred Eicher - Recorded Nov. 1971 - ECM 1017

Bought the LP 31.8.1973 Helsinki, 28 mk

This is the 1st Jarrett's solo piano work. Before this I heard him already in Charles Lloyds quartet (DeJohnette was there too!) and then in Miles bands. In solo piano. he really swings! And the songs are quite short (comparing to the later years).

------------------

Jarrett & DeJohnette: Ruta And Daitya 1971

1. Overture ­ Communion (5'57)

2. Ruta And Daitya (11'12)

Jack DeJohnette drums, percussion, comp. 1-5

Prod. Manfred Eicher

Recorded May 1971 ECM 1021

LP 27.4.1973 26 mk H:ki

 

Duo with Jack DeJohnette: the guys knew each other already

from the mid 60's from Charles Lloyd quartet. Jarrett plays

here e-piano and e-organ - he left both away soon, and played

later only acoustic - that's why this is very intresting record.

Sounds very improvisatory and fresh. Specially the wooden

flute played by Jarrett is very expressive.

The cover painting by Leena Westerlund

(the name sounds very Finnish/Swedish)

is only in the European edition.

Bought the LP 18.9.1975 26 mk EPE's Mail Tampere

 

Towner started in 1970 in Oregon (a world music & free jazz combo).

But very soon he went solo. This is his 2nd solo album.

Beautiful soundscapes, fresh & dreamy.

He plays all the instruments.

Bought the LP 30.3.1976 30 mk

 

The great Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal (b. 1947) has been one of the most important guitarist in European jazz scene ever since the 70's. He started his international fame in Jan Garbarek's band in early 70's and in the German ECM records. I specially like the way Rypdal uses feed back in his guitar, sometimes violin like effects.

2. All The Things You Are (Kern-Hammerstein)(7'45)

Rec. jan. 1983, Prod. Manfred Eicher

ECM 1255 (92 37931)

LP 14.12.1984 45 mk Ladyland H:ki

 

Two years later I bought the Standards vol 2 on CD

- and been listening it much much more that this LP.

Now I finally have a good chance to check this out

(after digitalizing it into my computer).

Sounds very familiar, even "classic".

And the acoustic trio without any electronics

- like fresh water...

My favorites? - It never entered my mind

(Miles also played it!). And God bless the child

- Billie Holidays song, 15 minutes version!

(the first drum solo on this record!)

Bought the LP 22.12.1973. J:kylä 28 mk

 

ECM recorded two interesting solo piano records in 1971: Keith Jarrett's Facing You. The producer Manfred Eicher had just started with his record company ECM and he was lucky to have such a great musicians to work with. Corea had already made one Circle-trio record A.R.C. for ECM 1009 in 1971. And then came the Piano Improvisations vol. 2. which was recorded on the same session in April 1971. These piano improvisations are short and melodic and beautiful. Sometime Ago was included also into Corea's next album.

--------------------------------

Chick Corea: Return To Forever 1972

1. Return to Forever 12:06

2. Crystal Silence 6:59

Airto Moreira Drums

Composed by Corea, Lyrics written by Neville Porter.

Released 1972, Recorded February 2, February 3, 1972

Label ECM 1022 - Cover photo Michael Manoogian

Producer Manfred Eicher

Bought the LP 9.3.1973 in S:joki, 26 mk

 

Feels kind of "classic" already, - after 35 years! And it sounds still fresh and interesting. Corea was with Miles Davis from late 60's and started his own band in early 70's. First this 1st Return To Forever combo with Flora Purim in vocals and the amazing percussionist Airo Moreira. They recorded only 2 albums together Light as a feather was the other.

 

----------------------------------

Ralph Towner: Solstice 1974

1. Oceanus (10'58) 2. Visitation (2'28)

3. Drifting Petals (6'52) 4. Nimbus (6'24)

5. Winter Solstice (4'01) 6. Piscean Dance (4'13)

7. Red And Black (1'19) 8. Sand (4'11)

Towner guitar, Garbarek sax, flute

Eberhard Weber bass, Jon Christensen drums

LP 1974, Prod. Eicher ECM 1060

Bought the LP 20.9.1976 26 mk Kavalkad Helsinki

 

A typical example of the cool ECM-sound.

Crystal clear moods. Garbarek plays beautifully

flute. Towner (b. 1940) plays 6 and 12-string guitars.

- Why they don't do records like this anymore

- I'm glad to have this!

Arnold first began playing drums in 1957 in Los Angeles while he was in the United States Coast Guard. In 1959, he began performing as "Horacee" when he joined a big band led by David Baker; he also played with Roland Kirk and Charles Mingus that year. In 1960 he became the drummer in a trio with Cecil McBee and Kirk Lightsey.

 

In the 1970s, Arnold became one of the best-known jazz fusion drummers, playing with Return to Forever, Stan Getz, Archie Shepp, and Billy Harper in addition to releasing two of his own solo albums. Later in the 1970s he formed an ensemble called Colloquium III with Billy Hart and Freddie Waits. In the 1980s Arnold went on to teach at William Paterson College. He worked as a session musician, played with Kenny Burrell, and formed a trio with David Friedman and Anthony Cox.

Jamming with John Abercrombie at his apartment.

NYC (early1988)...

We were both given, Casio PG380 Guitars... Luckyluckylucky...

--

My (apparently rare) white PG 380 & (black) 510 still work great!! I still have all the factory programming software,

(for AtariST), given to me by Casio originally for the 64 voice flash RAM that inserts into the back of the Guitar...

A marvel of engineering... Locking nut, fine tuners, battery powered.
