"A gorgeous recording of works for trombone and piano, transformed by Lucier's electronics and oscillators. Wind Shadows (1994), Music for Piano with One or More Snare Drums (1990), and Panorama (1993)--were written for the Swiss musicians Roland Dahinden and Hildegard Kleeb, who play them on this CD. Also included: Music for Piano with Amplified Sonorous Vessels (1990), which was originally written for Margaret Leng Tan.."
How have I never heard of Live Jazz Lounge before?
Grateful Dead- 1990-03-29
From a Rolling Stone interview with Branford Marsalis:
Are you surprised that the Nassau concert has become so prized by Dead fans?
Yeah! I had no context. I got people calling my house: "That was a fantastic show." Hey, how did you get this number? "We're everywhere, man. But don't worry about it. We're harmless."
There is some useful stuff at Live Jazz Lounge. Not sure how authorized it all is but (i) they do not post anything that has been released, (ii) it has led me to a number of purchases - it has been a useful way to get a listen to some artists before deciding whether to buy, (iii) in some other cases I have used it to find live recordings by artists all of whose work I have already bought, so I think of my use of it as fairly benign.
None authorized, would be the answer to that question, I think. But in the grand tradition of fans taping and trading shows, so I agree "mostly harmless." Will have to poke around over there.
Speaking of the grand tradition of taping, that Marsalis interview is fun...Never heard of that collab before
The Marsalis & Grateful Dead works well; there's a commercial version available called Wake Up to Find Out, but mine's just an audience tape from Internet Archive. I have a concert with Ornette Coleman too; I think Marsalis works better over all, but the Ornette has a track at the end of Jerry playing with Ornette's group which is pretty great. I forget the date.
@Doofy, the reason I said not sure how authorized is that it does claim on the About page it "has already received praise and gratitude from many of the featured artists" so there may be some explicit permission going on at least post hoc for some entries.
- "Harley Gaber (1943-June, 2011) does harrowing yet peaceful like no one else. His richly sonorous spectral drones sweep the soul along on its darkest night towards a dawn forever just beyond reach. His last voyage, In Memoriam 2010, is a postscript or coda to the end of the world. Beginning with an apocalyptic tempest and (re)building from there, the album reveals shards of culture and humanity and finds a healing balm in enduring memory. It is an altogether fitting commemoration to the end of the world. For Gaber, 2010 was a tumultuous year, and this album in memory of it traces his attempts to come to terms with it. The record feels at once like a grand exhalation and an indefatigable inhalation. As much as certain sections titles point towards an end (Cataclysm and Threnody, Threnody and Prayer) others point towards a re-creation of order after death (In-Formation, Coalescing). Commissioned by Dan Epstein of the Dan J. Epstein Family Foundation in memory of his mother, Nancy Epstein, In Memoriam 2010 explores the flux between knowing and not-knowing that resolves itself into peace and tranquility. Drawing on his 20 years of work as a visual artist in diverse mediums, Gaber constructs In Memoriam 2010 using collage techniques, drawing on fragments from composers including himself, Philip Blackburn, Kenneth Gaburo, Verdi, Beethoven, Werner Durand, Paul Paccione, and Morton Feldman. His ability to fuse these musical elements without diluting them speaks to his organic outlook on sound and musical discourse. Like his previous Innova release, I Saw My Mother Ascending Mount Fuji, In Memoriam 2010 is both harrowing and peaceful. A sense of loss may permeate these works, but it never obscures the overall sense of redemption and love." - Innova Recordings - 2011
Without intending to I am starting to amass quite a few versions of this. Only one of them (Pinnock, still the one engraved on my brain) did I buy on purpose; it's just that it seems impossible to buy a Vivaldi box set without getting another version of the four seasons thrown in. This one (which is, it has to be said, a very interesting version) is from this box, which arrived in the mail yesterday:
Excellent deal, though, especially via the marketplace.

Jubilee - FACT mix 461 (Sep. 2014)
Back for a while after a week in the English Lake District - some great walks in amazing scenery. Lots here to follow up as usual.
Kez - yes I agree, a great album from four outstanding artists. I did play it and post a few times when it was released. I must search it out again.
