“Tossed between

The sky and sea

We'll sail

Until we find the harbour lights

A life is but a dream

Of blue in green although it seems

The end draws nearer with each passing day

We'll always sail

This way, until

We find our home” ~Cassandra Wilson~

DIMISSIONI IN BIANCO & nero

 

Il fenomeno delle dimissioni in bianco interessa circa 2 milioni di lavoratrici e lavoratori

 

italiani, ma soprattutto le donne in età fertile in una percentuale del 60 per cento ed è

 

diffuso su tutto il territorio nazionale.

 

Per i datori di lavoro ricorrere a questo abuso, che rappresenta anche un modo per

 

aggirare l'articolo 18 dello statuto dei lavoratori, è possibile in quanto la norma che

 

contrastava il fenomeno, introdotta nel nostro ordinamento durante il Governo Prodi

 

con la legge 188/2007, è stata prontamente abrogata, a pochi mesi dalla sua entrata

 

in vigore, dal Governo Berlusconi.

 

Per le donne i motivi più frequenti dell'ingiustificato licenziamento sono la gravidanza o

 

la nascita di un figlio, la malattia, l'età, nonché i rapporti con il sindacato.

 

Secondo quanto risulta dal Rapporto annuale 2011 dell'Istat, sono circa 800 mila,

 

quasi il 9 per cento delle lavoratrici, le donne che, nel corso della loro vita, sono state

 

licenziate attraverso le dimissioni in bianco o perché in gravidanza.

 

A subire più spesso questo trattamento sono le più giovani (il 13,1 per cento delle

 

madri nate dopo il 1973), le residenti nel Mezzogiorno (10,5 per cento) e le donne con

 

un titolo di studio basso (10,4 per cento), le donne che lavorano o lavoravano come

 

operaie (11,8 per cento), quelle impiegate nell'industria (11,4 per cento).

 

Tra le lavoratrici costrette a lasciare il lavoro in occasione o a seguito di una

 

gravidanza, solo 4 su 10

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).

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.

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)

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

3. What Game Shall We Play Today? 4:30

(Total length 46:48)

 

Chick Corea Electric piano, Stanley Clarke Bass

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!

When Oregon appeared on the scene in early 70's - it was a phenomen. We were living the times of electric jazz fusion and all of a sudden a group of acoustic instruments sounds so fresh and interesting.

Genre blending combo: jazz, ethnic, world music, free, classical, folk...

I had a chance to see and hear them alive in Helsinki in late 70's.

The intense feeling and warm atmosphere was extraordinary.

This was their 2nd LP - composed and free improvisations.

And it still sounds fresh.
