    AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by Duke Pearson, complete with original artwork and liner notes. Another child protégé, Duke Pearson (yes the Duke does come from his uncle’s favourite film star John “Duke” Wayne…….only joking, it is of course from the great Duke Ellington !), began piano lessons at six. However by 12 he had stopped them in favour of the trumpet, sax and mellophone. In fact so enamoured was he of the trumpet he would go on to play it through college and during his draft in the Army. It was while in the army that he met pianist Wynton Kelly and was so inspired by his playing that he immediately decided to switch back to the ivories. This did of course necessitate learning the instrument he had abandoned years ago practically all over again! Duke’s early career would include playing with R&B acts like Little Willie John before moving to New York in 1959 where he met trumpeter Donald Byrd. Byrd would use some of Duke’s compositions and he and Duke would play regularly on each other’s albums, including one of our featured sets, “Byrd In Flight”.

    AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic Album series with a re-mastered 2CD second set release from Charles Mingus, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details. Jazz history tells us that Charles Mingus was right up there with the truly great legendary artists in his chosen musical field, as composer, arranger and musician. His status as a composer and arranger stands alongside Monk, Ellington, Miles and Basie, while his status as a musician stands alongside Coltrane, Prez, Bird and Dizzy. The list of jazz musicians Mingus played with would indeed have to include almost the entire range of jazz legends from Ellington (who actually fired him from his band), to Dizzy, Bird, Lionel Hampton, Dolphy, Dannie Richmond, Max Roach, Bud Powell, Pepper Adams, Jaki Byard, John Handy, Jackie McLean, Sonny Rollins etc etc. We feature four Mingus classics, from what was considered his first major work as band leader and composer, “Pithecanthropus Erectus” in 1956 to the perhaps under-rated classic “Tijuana Moods” recorded in 1957 but only released in 1962.

    Shostakovich was genuinely trying to break new ground but had been sharply brought into line (viz. the edict issued against his opera "Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk"). His 5th Symphony seems to cast doubt on the Marxist purity of the Party in power. He conveys his rage in unexpectedly neo-Mahlerian style, but concludes with politically correct optimism. A quarter of a century later he produced "The Year 1917", a skilfully produced commission which sounds like a film score. Even today Mravinsky is still the most effective interpreter of this contradictory diptych, capable of rendering both its intrinsic power and resounding ambiguities.

    Instructing and educating Christians on the one hand and delighting their minds on the other, so that the words and truths of the Holy Scripture would be anchored deeply within them – this was the purpose of the sacred cantata. No master of the Baroque era wrote more of these than Georg Philipp Telemann. He approached this seemingly ‘tedious work’ with such incredible imagination that his congregations could never be bored. One need only listen to the so-called French Cycle (1714-15). To this end, Vol. 4 contributes ten more first recordings. There are certainly meditative moments in both the music for Advent presented here and the cantatas written for the ’normal’ Sundays of the church year; but these works predominantly feature colourful, enormously picturesque music throughout. They always get straight to the heart of the worship service's message and are still instantly appealing today.

    There’s a palpable sense of energy and enthusiasm from the audience captured on the tapes at this concert as King Crimson (sharing a European tour with then label band mates Roxy Music) take to the stage in Fréjus, France, in late Summer, 1982. With two albums’ worth of material to draw upon (Discipline, Oct 1981 & Beat, June 1982) & extensive touring that had already seen the band play concerts in the UK, Europe, USA & Japan, the live shows - as often with King Crimson – had a dynamism & punch that simply couldn’t be replicated in a recording studio. Add a pair of classic KC instrumentals, (Red & Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Part Two), to that mix & all the ingredients were there for a very special performance. Recorded initially for a video release, the audio from the concert has, inexplicably, never been issued as a standalone release. Nor has a live album from the 1980s line-up previously appeared on vinyl.

    Comprising three compact discs and a Blu-ray, Meltdown: Live in Mexico City documents an incarnation of King Crimson that the group's founder Robert Fripp described as "the best band I’ve been in, musically, personally, professionally." The three CDs distill King Crimson's five concerts in Mexico City from 14 to 19 July 2017 down to three and a half hours, and the Blu-ray video further condenses the performances to two and a half hours.

    During 1999 Leif Sundberg and myself conducted a workshop at the Stockholm University of the Arts – Department of Acting, around Zeami and his works, trying to learn something relevant for us here today. Later we did a play for Swedish Radio with an adaption by Ingegerd Monthán. Here is some of that music. The album is concluded with an exercise we did where Leif tries to keep the intensity of a short poem of eight lines, “Att Höra en Röst (To Hear a Voice)” only supported by an extremely slow percussive breathing pulse. He kept it up for eleven minutes!

    After a decade working as a jazz pianist in NYC, GRAMMY-nominated pianist and composer Pascal Le Boeuf took a leap of faith and enrolled in Princeton University’s PhD program to explore the boundaries of jazz improvisation and contemporary classical composition. Seven years later, “Ritual Being” is a compendium of his explorations featuring leading performers Linda May Han Oh, Justin Brown, Friction Quartet, Sara Caswell, Todd Reynolds, Jessica Meyer, Nick Photinos, Remy Le Boeuf, Ben Wendel, and others. The title track “Ritual Being” is about the effects of mankind’s behaviors on the planet and each other.
