View DJ Peter's profile |
Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Isang Yun | Piri (1971) for Clarinet | Selected Works for Clarinet (Edward Brunner) | Camerata | 25 November 1982, Studio 3, Bayerischer Rundfunk. “It was originally composed for oboe, with however, Brunner giving the first performance on the clarinet. The Piri is a traditional Korean instrument similar in many aspects to the oboe, and also corresponds to the Japanese 'Hichiriki'.... The theme of the piece represents a convict confined in a prison and suggests that although he is physically held captive, his spirit and thoughts are free to wonder far and wide. The last part consists solely of multiple tones, which signify his earnest prayer.”—Isang Yun | 0:30:01 (Pop-up) | |||

Joseph Holbrooke | Wasps | Joseph Holbrooke | Symposium | “The group’s name probably came through Gavin Bryars who at that time was beginning to show what was to become a lasting interest in early 20th century English music. Joseph (sometimes Josef) Holbrooke, once described as the ‘cockney Wagner’, was a composer of prodigious output who, although creating something of a stir in his own lifetime, has been almost totally ignored since. Investigations about him produced different dates for his birth (1875 or 1878) and different dates for his death (1958 or 1961) briefly raising the consideration that there might be more than one Joseph Holbrooke, a speculation reinforced by the staggering amount of music still to be found under that name. It seemed a good cover for our activities.” -Derek Bailey, Musical Improvisation: A complete guide to the most widely practiced and least documented aspect of music (1980). footnote to a discussion of “Joseph Holbrooke Trio” | 0:49:44 (Pop-up) | |||

One of my favorite records is Haden's Montreal Tapes with this trio. I use a cut from it to audition sound systems.

Loved the clarinet set, Holbrooke (who was unfamiliar to me), and all the rest! Thanks Peter! (let me know if these after-show posts are annoying).
