TOMASZ STANKO - Almost Green (Leo 1979)

"Almost Green" is fourth and last record by great Stanko Quartet with Vesala and Szukalski, this time with wonderful dwarf Palle Danielsson on bass. Released by Finnish label Leo Records in 1979, this album was preceeded by "TWET" (Muza 1974), "Balladyna" (ECM 1976) and "Live at Remont" (Helicon 1978), each with different bassist. But always the rhythm section sounded pretty heavy and whole quartet freshly and recognizably. Maybe it is wishful thinking from my side, but I often thought when listening to "Balladyna" that there are some similarities with great Elton Dean Quintet's "Boundaries", and I got that feeling again with "Live at Remont" and "Almost Green", which were completely new to me during last weeks... Thanks to original uploader svantetic and his former blog Almost Black, and to mew23, who kept this rip and shared it with us. BTW, "From Greenhills" theme is reprised as title track of Stanko's 1999 ECM album "From The Green Hill".

Barre Phillips-For all it is-(Japo -60003) 1973

This one goes out to the Cats from The Next Best Sound....(MEOW!)

My Belated ,2 cents worth towards the Out of Print Japo thread running through these pages.

Barre Phillips is no stranger to collaborating with other bassists, This and Ecm's music from 2 bases a collaboration with Dave Holland , set a pattern for so many such future forays..

a more recent and very wonderful example being 2004's After You've gone (Victo) with, Tetsu Saitoh, William Parker, Joëlle Léandre;and Peter Kowald.

for me certainly,Phillips is/Was, the most instantly recognizable voice on the instrument of the last 40 years..(The many other note worthy candidates not withstanding).
This was the first Phillip's record i ever bought , and its still a favourite ,
despite a fondness for almost all of his work , I'm certainly most partial to those that deal  in knotty, total improvisation.

This is one of those and more besides , and Because the Drummer is Stu Martin with whom he was in the trio (at the time)... a couple of tracks feature punchy grooves and thematic improvisations on simple melodic ideas ....indeed they ARE Funky!
Mostly though the music is abstract and textures open and free , with all four bassists exploring the full range of the instrument, and well beyond.

Greatly Imaginative music ,which a wrtitten review can never do justice to
.. Five unparalleled Master musicians literally Whooping it up and having a ball , a fully engaging, accessible Ride , and very beautiful conventionally so too
So Listen!!

Also,take note this is so very  far removed from what one might imagine to be merely a set of dazzling technically fascinating exercises.

Phillips &; Guy , are prolific and have many available cds .. on ECM,Maya, PSF,Cadence.. and loads of other labels ..well worth a purchase and the Exploration thereof
