One of the top South African expatriates, Johnny Dyani had a lyrical style and an authoritative tone on bass. He was with Chris McGregor's Blue Notes during 1962-65, leaving South Africa with them. He settled in London for five years, working with the top local players and recorded in South America with Steve Lacy and Enrico Rava in 1968. Dyani was also with the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (1969). In the early 1970s he moved to Denmark where he worked with John Tchicai, Don Cherry, Abdullah Ibrahim, David Murray and Joseph Jarman. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

de Boere Two concert recordings never before released by larger groups led by the German saxophone legend Peter Brötzmann. Both recorded by the esteemed Hessischer Rundfunk organization at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival, in 1968 and 1970 and mastered from original radio tapes. Two of the most explosive, rivetting pieces of music ever to come out of the European vaults. First: an unheard alternate version of Brötzmann's groundbreaking "Machine Gun," this time with a nine piece group (same as the LP, adding tenor saxophonist Gerd Dudek), recorded three months before the BRO/FMP record was made! A beautiful recording, revealing some heretofore obscure aspects of the composition. Second: a 40-minute masterpiece from 1970, with a large group featuring three tenors, three trombones, no bassist, Fred van Hove on organ, Derek Bailey on guitar and Han Bennink and Sven-Ake Johansson on drums. It's a monumental piece, featuring some of the most extreme Bailey on record (sounding at times like Masayumi Takayanaki from five years later), and tremendous interplay between Brötz, Evan Parker and Willem Breuker. Dedicated at the time to South African bassist Johnny Dyani, it's a moving poem on forces of oppression and the idea of resistance. This deluxe package includes a12-panel foldout booklet designed by Brötzmann, including very personal liner notes by him. 2 tracks in 54:07 minutes More from the Unheard Music Series :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Stone Water (Brötzmann Tentet) Broken English (Brötzmann Tentet Plus Two) Short Visit To Nowhere (Brötzmann Tentet Plus Two) Live At Nefertiti (Brötzmann, Nielsen, Uuskyla) 'Smatter (Gerd Dudek Quartet) |
