Joseph Jarman & Famoudou Don Moye - Live In Ann Arbor September 30, 1979

During the second half of the seventies and in the early eighties, Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye regularly teamed together in duet or in bigger groups who recorded albums like Egwu-Anwu, Black Paladin, Earth Passage Density or The magic triangle.

Here is a well recorded concert from this period, this time in duet following the recording published by India Navigation.

Joseph Jarman: alto, tenor, flute, clarinet, voice, percussions

Famoudou Don Moye: Drums, percussions

recorded on September 30, 1979 in Ann Arbor USA

Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Live In Warsaw 1982

I have no particular details about this live show, exact date and exact location. Due to the fact that it lasts only 37 mn we can suppose that it is only a part of the concert but that’s all I own.

It is the regular crew: Roscoe, Joseph, Lester, Malachi, Famoudou.

Hamiet Bluiett-Impossible to keep,1996 (rec 1979)

And here's my favorite band of Bluiett's , the same that also made 'Resolution'on Black Saint,the deep empathetic chemistry , with Pullen dating back to the Mingus band of a few years before ,very much in evidence here.

Sobre una nube was originally released as the India Navigation Lp SOS,

This double disc features the whole concert pretty much unedited.

enjoy!!

Famoudou Don Moye "Sun Percussion volume one" (1975, AECO 001) FLAC

A Chicago musicians series would not be complete without at least one record from the Art Ensemble, so here is the first LP on the group's own AECO label. It seems that this imprint was used first as a mean of publishing the first album-lenght solo works by the group's members, Don Moye opening the series with the present percussion LP, followed by Joseph Jarman's "Sunbound" (AECO 002) and Malachi Favors' "The Natural and the Spiritual" (AECO 003). Roscoe Mitchell had also issued his "Solo Saxophone Concerts" on Sackville the year before the beginning of the series. Could somebody who has heard the four albums comment and tell us if there is or not a significant relationship between them ?

Enjoy,
Pierre

Please note that the Jarman title is still available in .mp3 at Nothing Is :
