TONY OXLEY'S CELEBRATION ORCHESTRA "TOMORROW IS HERE" (DOSSIER, 1985)

A veritable all-star band - an all too rare recording by one of the greatest living drummers.

Subtle and burning - reeds and strings - a great plethora of percussive meandering - a classic!

There's been some recent interest in the great Larry Stabbins who has sadly hung up his saxophone these days.  I had a look through some boxes and came up with these sessions.  None are exactly hifi but all are listenable.  I didn't record any of them, so thanks to the original tapers.

The Eddie Prevost Quartet also existed with Evan Parker instead of  Larry. One of their gigs I attended at the Duke of Wellington goes down as one of my favourite gigs of all time.  Unfortunately unrecorded.

1. 29.25

Earlham Street Breakout at Donmar Warehouse, London.  30th July 1989

Listening to the ‘Handscapes’ LP (below) and enjoying it after many years, prompted me to dig out my old cassette recording of the same trio. Funny how it’s easy to dismiss a recording you’ve made because of one little wrong thing.  I always thought this was a dusty sounding old thing, recorded rather distantly from the music, up in the balcony. Transferring from tape today, I was pleasantly surprised.  With the dolby on it’s not too hissy, at one point a baby cries, but it sounds pretty good really.  Anyway if you enjoyed Handscapes, you might want to hear this.

Bozo rightly commented that Akemi once played with saxophonist Chris Green. Consulting an old copy of WIRE (issue 49 March 1988), they played together in Coherents, producing K’Tah (Prime Tapes) and Red Shift (Prime LP).  If anybody has these, it would be good to hear them.

ELTON DEAN - 2 Quartets: London 1992 + 1997

It took me a while, but finally here are two amazing cassette recordings courtesy of Andy, posted previously in Contributions section. Earlier one from 1992 can be seen as alternative version of Elton Dean / Howard Riley Quartet, a regular team of 90's, also posted here in the meantime by Andy himself. Riley & Dean photo comes from the booklet of their duo album "One To One" (Slam Productions 1999) and was taken by George Haslam.

Rumours, London, 28 February 1992  (Riley on a very ropy old piano)

Second and more 'feverish' piece from 1997 is by one-off grouping - a rare opportunity to hear Elton with Veryan Weston, and suprisingly (as I found when adding tags) also first IS post including this prodigious British pianist and improviser. Thank you for being there and being here, Andy!
