(Wolfgang Czelusta is listed on baritone and tenor saxophone - but imost probably this is not correct. On all official releases he is credited playing the trombone solely)

NDR JAZZ WORKSHOP NO.17 "BIG SOUND KOLLER" (1961)




This NDR Jazz Workshop was in the collection of Rudi Fuesers. First I didn't realise what it was as the cd-r has almost no information on the cd or booklet.
But I took it home for a try - and found to my astonishment an unknown workshop!
Obviously it was in his collection as Fuesers is playing on it.
Soundwise this workshop is probably the best I've ever heard.

Klaus Mitcherle, trumpet & fluegelhorn
Rudi Fuesers, trombone & bass trombone

Recorded January 27, 1961 at Großer Sendesaal, Funkhaus Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany.

At least two more titles were performed: "Workshop After Hours" (7:49) and "D'Accord" (6:01).
Hans Gertberg announces "D'Accord" after "Black Cats" as a trio of piano, bass and drums...obviously not included in the cd-r I inherited from Rudi Fuesers.

Note: On "Tune For Antibes" only quintet. On "Waltz With Me" solos by Koller, Van Rooyen and Schneebiegl on horn.
On "Black Cats" two tenors played by Koller and Flierl.

NDR JAZZ WORKSHOP NO.95 - ROLF & JOACHIM KÜHN GROUP (1973)




Here's a post I've made from a contribution propylaen2001 has made today (see comments section).

Thank you very much!!

Here's what he wrote (except I've changed the layout a bit...).

Here's a great performance from the 95th NDR Jazzworkshop which I compiled from a trade CDR that I had acquired several years ago and a recent DIME upload:

Randy Brecker, trumpet
Rolf Kühn, clarinet
Joachim Kuehn, piano, electric piano
Toto Blanke, guitar
Palle Danielsson, bass
Edward Vesala , drums
Kasper Winding, percussion


Tracks:
1. Do Dat Dudek (18:51)
2. Palle's Tune (8:49)
3. Paris '73 (9:05)
4. German Country (19:57)
5. Things Are What They Used To Be (17:19)
6. Spider's Dance (15:08)

Total time 1:29:09

 Rolf & Joachim Kuehn
NDR Jazzworkshop no. 95
Studio 10, Grosser Sendesaal des NDR Funkhauses
Hamburg, Germany
1973-11-20

Source: FM radio broadcast
Lineage: FM > ? Trade CDR > EAC (secure) > WAV > TLH > FLAC (L8)

Notes:
My trade CDR had an abbreviated version of track #5 which clocked in at 7:32.
Last month unclewolfi uploaded a complete version of this tune from a recent rebroadcast at NDR Info.
I used this one and added the missing applause at the end from my trade CDR.
Lineage for this track would be: DVB-S > Techno Trend TT-Premium S2-6400 Twin HD > HDD > mp2 (320 kbps) > Nero Wave editor > Flac > TLH > WAV > Adobe Audition CS6 (edits) > TLH > FLAC (L8, align on SB)

For the purists, the original track #5 (as received on the trade CDR) is included in a separate folder.

Link: https://mega.co.nz/#!BQlFDK4B!pn5cfPZ7Bdi_sqX9WPGVFb4OZUlO7rwIV42Ys5GU0tY

Does anybody know for sure if this is the complete performance or if there is still some part missing?

Enjoy!

ALBERT MANGELSDORFF & LEE KONITZ DUO "HANNOVER, GERMANY, 1982"



A wonderful... concert sent by B… For those who love the “art of the duo” album on enja .
This concert features a lot of the same material.. and much more.
Highlights for me specifically are ..a stunning version of “She's As Wild As Springtime”
Dukes “Mood Indigo” … an expressive articulate conversation between old friends with a lot of shared history.

Michel Portal Unit in Hamburg 1974 (NDR Jazz Workshop No.99)



Michel Portal is one of those multi-instrumental, multi-genre musicians it seems impossible to pin down. He's adept in the classical music world, he's at home in the world of contemporary music and free improvisation, he's attached to folk music in Europe (hailing from Bayonne in the Basque region of France) and abroad and he was in the first generation of people to introduce free jazz to audiences in his native France and elsewhere in Europe. So what to make of him? Who knows and who cares? He sees himself as an anarchist and why not?

In the 1970s the Michel Portal Unit made a couple of records for French labels. First was one called "No no but maybe" recorded at Chateauvallon in 1972 and released on the Chant du Monde label. Later came the "Chateavallon 76" record on the L'Escargot label. I've got both of those, but the first one has been rereleased on cd and should be fairly easy to obtain. The second one remains out of print. The picture above is taken from the inner sleeve of the first Chateauvallon record.

The line-up on the first Cahteauvallon record is the same as the one we will hear here.

The basic info:

MICHEL PORTAL UNIT

8-Mar 1974
NDR Funkhaus, Hamburg, Germany

Michel Portal: as,ts,cl,bandoneon
Bernard Vitet: tp,vln,frh,p
Beb Guérin: b
Léon Francioli: b,cello
Pierre Favre: dr,perc

1. La Guepe (Vitet) 09:31
2. Nolilanga (Francioli) 15:59
3. Kronenche (Portal) 16:49
4. Splendid Yzlment (Portal) 35:18

Most likely recorded from FM radio to tape and then transferred to a digital medium.

The unusual feature of this line-up is the presence of two bassists, Francioli and Guerin. I believe they can be heard as they are positioned in the above picture with Francioli in the left channel and Guerin in the right. Their presence gives the performance a strong rhythmic propelling force and an added depth. Both Favre and Vitet add to the percussive punch of the ensemble.

Another feature of the Unit is that there's no clear sense of a leader or lead instrument. Each throws their lot into the ring and all sorts of interplay pop up in the course of these extended pieces. There's no marked sense of tunes being played either as a recognisable melody might turn up anywhere from any of the Unit members at any point in time. Yet it never sounds like an unstructured blow-out typical of free jazz ensenbles at the time. A feeling of space is kept throughout for quiter interactions between two or more.

Portal heads off the set with what sounds like an emulated didgeridoo or an accidental meeting of aboriginals during a walkabout and rounds off with an Argentinian tango on the bandoneon. In between, lots of things are happening on a multitude of instruments and not according to any thought out scheme either. All in all, highly unpredictable, highy enjoyable and highly entertaining!

This was upped at Dime by .......................so a tip of the hat for this and other Portal goodies. There shall be more Portal in the time to come!
