Swedish Iskra and the first Acta release

I've had this record for years, but only now realized that there really is no CD-issue of this. Insane, as this happens to be one of the very few really good free folk improv records ever. Without any more unnecessary hype, here we go:


ISKRA - JAZZ I SVERIGE '75 (Caprice CAP 2006, 1975 / 2LP)



get it here.

--------------------------------

Second record is a trio by John Butcher, Phil Durrant and John Russell. Their first actually, on Butchers Acta label. A good bit of British improv.

This really ought to be re-released on Emanem, kinda weird it hasn't been.


John Russell, Phil Durrant, John Butcher - Conceits (Acta 1, 1987)





get it here.

enjoy these treats and please do comment.

    I looked for Conceits when it was first released. I should have tried harder, I didn't realise how good it is.
    Like a set of pen drawings - deceptively simple with lots of detail (but no clutter) and lots of 'space'. Quite refreshing.
    'A good bit of British Improv?' - I would say 'A very good bit . . .'
    Thanks very much.

    This blog is great! Can't believe it took me so long to find this place. That Butcher/Durrant/Russell is incredibly welcome; they were a tremendous group.
