Podcast appearances and mentions of elton dean

Esta semana, dedicamos un nuevo capítulo de Rebelión Sónica, al rescate patrimonial en vivo que el sello Cuneiform hizo de la legendaria banda británica, Soft Machine. Titulado “Høvikodden 1971”, el disco incluye dos shows grabados por el ingeniero Meny Bloch en el Centro de Arte Henie-Onstad, ubicado en la colina noruega de Høvikodden -a 10 kilómetros de Oslo-, los días 27 y 28 de febrero de 1971. En ese momento, la siempre cambiante alineación de la banda, estaba integrada por Elton Dean en saxo alto, saxello y Hohner pianet, Hugh Hopper en bajo, Mike Ratledge en Hohner pianet, órgano Lowrey Holiday Deluxe y Fender Rhodes y Robert Wyatt en batería y voces. Cuneiform explica que, si bien los dos sets interpretados la segunda noche se habían lanzado antes, esta es la primera vez que se edita la estadía de completa de dos noches en el promontorio de Noruega, por lo que la mitad del registro nunca se había escuchado antes. El sello agrega que se trata de “una excelente grabación estéreo de la banda tocando en una sala relativamente pequeña. Los equilibrios entre los instrumentos no están perfectamente balanceados, pero no hay otra grabación de Soft Machine que suene tanto como si la banda estuviera tocando *justo* frente a ti”. Cuneiform remata señalando que “además, pudimos mejorar de una manera modesta pero definitivamente notable el equilibrio no perfecto entre los instrumentos en esta edición”. En la parte final del programa, nos quedamos en el mismo año 1971 pero en la faceta en estudio de la banda, para escucharlos con música del fundamental álbum “Fourth”. Pueden escuchar Rebelión Sónica por radio Rockaxis todos los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, como siempre, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, al nuevo disco en vivo de Soft Machine lanzado por Cuneiform Records, “Facelift France & Holland”. Editado el 25 de marzo de 2022, se trata de un rescate patrimonial que incluye dos conciertos de la banda realizados a principios de 1970: el 02 de marzo en el Théâtre de la Musique de París, Francia y el 17 de enero en el Concertgebouw de Ámsterdam, Países Bajos. De acuerdo a la información entregada a la prensa: “Desde sus inicios como banda de rock psicodélico en 1966, compartiendo escenarios con Pink Floyd y Jimi Hendrix Experience, hasta ser uno de los fundadores del jazz/rock eléctrico a principios de 1969, Soft Machine fue un grupo incansablemente creativo”. La declaración agrega que ““Facelift France & Holland” captura a la banda en un momento crucial en el primer trimestre de 1970, cuando fueron un quinteto de corta duración, justo antes de que grabaran y lanzaran su revolucionario álbum “Third””. La alineación cuenta con Mike Ratledge en órgano, Robert Wyatt en batería y voz, Hugh Hopper en bajo, Elton Dean en saxo alto y saxelo y Lyn Dobson en saxo soprano y tenor, flauta, armónica y voz. Recordemos además que la actual formación de Soft Machine, con John Marshall en batería, John Etheridge en guitarra, Theo Travis en viento y Fred Thelonious Baker en bajo, se presentarán el 27 de agosto en el Teatro Caupolicán.

Paula interviews world-renowned jazz guitarist and bassist, Fred Thelonius Baker.  Fred was a student at Birmingham School of Music (now Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) from 1979, and studied composition with Andrew Downes. Andrew went on to invite Fred to teach at Birmingham Conservatoire in 1989, which led to Fred being a major part of Andrew's new School of Composition and Creative Studies from the early 90s. Fred has been a permanent teacher/lecturer in accoustic and bass guitar there ever since. In the mid 90s, Andrew composed his Concerto for Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar and Strings for Fred playing Electric Bass with Simon Dinnigan playing Acoustic Guitar. They recorded it for CD in 1999 with string players from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Fred and Simon also arranged Downes' Piano Sonatina, Movement 2 for Electric Bass and Acoustic Guitar and also recorded this for the CD. All of these works are played throughout the episode. More information on the works and the CD can be found here: https://www.andrewdownes.com/Soloists-with-Orchestra.html#GUITARSTRINGS Fred Thelonious Baker is a Jazz guitarist and bassist from the English village of Tibshelf, Derbyshire. Born in 1960, Fred was given a ukulele when he was four by his father. Indeed, Fred's parents were a major influence in the beginning of his musical journey. A year later, he was given his first guitar and went on to learn the Classical guitar. During his mid-teens, Fred also began an interest in the bass guitar, an instrument with which he has since become synonymous. After studying at Chesterfield College, Fred went on to study at Birmingham School of Music (now Conservatoire) where he gained a GBSM and ABSM in teaching and performance. Around this time, at the invitation of Sir John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, Fred began teaching at Wavendon All Music Summer School. Since then, Fred has taught and given masterclasses at many universities, music colleges and music Summer schools including Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Berkeley College of Music, USA, St Petersburg Conservatory, Russia, London Brunel, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and Derby Universities. Since 1989, he has been a permanent teacher/lecturer in acoustic and bass guitar at Birmingham Conservatoire. Fred has performed all over the world as a session musician and soloist with a variety of musicians and ensembles including Courtney Pine, Nigel Kennedy, Billy Cobham, the CBSO, Fairport Convention, Robert Wyatt, Harry Beckett, Horace Parlan, Soft Machine, John Etheridge, Pip Pyle, Ric Sanders, Karen Street, Joe Sachse, Tony Levin, Phil Bates, Clive Bunker, Elton Dean, Simon Dinnigan, Geoff Eales, Liam Genocky and Phil Miller. As both a jazz guitarist and bassist, Fred has appeared extensively on many recordings. "Spinal Tap" from his solo accoustic guitar CD, Life Suite, will be played on this episode. Fred is currently working on the legacy of the late Phil Miller: https://philmillerthelegacy.com

PROGRAM SUMMARY Today in Part TWO of Jazz Fusion, we look at FIVE more Jazz Fusion artists on …VINYL VIBRATIONS ! M1 Miles Davis and his "Bitches Brew" album 1970 Columbia. Miles Davis experiments with electric instruments like electric piano and electric guitar. Also we see more of an improvisational style with a rock rhythm. a double album - a studio album.  We listen to the song titled "John McLaughlin" on Bitches Brew.  This is an all-star cast--Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul on two electric pianos, John McLaughlin on electric guitar, Jack DeJohnette and Don Alias on two drum sets, Dave Holland and Harbey Brooks on two electric basses and of course on trumpet, Miles Davis. M2  Return to Forever,  featuring Chick Corea. The recording and title song is "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy". A phenomenal set of musicians --- guitarist Bill Connors, Stan Clarke on Bass, Lenny White on Drums. This song provides examples of time changes, which Chick Corea thrives in, providing a high energy framework for Bill Connors to play lead guitar. A very mechanical song, with enough melodic component to to be interesting and tell a story about THE SEVENTH GALAXY ---- The band is Return to Forever and the title song is "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy"featuring Chick Corea, 1973, Polydor Records. M3 Soft Machine and we listen to the album simply named "5". On this 1972 CBS album, part 2 of the 2-part song "L.B.O., by John Marshall, the drummer.  The musicians are Elton Dean on Alto Sax, Saxello and Electric Piano, Hugh Hopper on Bass, Mike Ratlidge on Organ and Electric Piano, and John Marshall on Drums. Note the time changes, the improvisation, the use of electric saxello, electric piano, in a jazz format, with the rock beat. M4 Pat Metheny and his 1976 album BRIGHT SIZE LIFE. We listened to UNQUITY ROAD, composed by Pat Metheny.  I remember seeing the very young Metheny back in 1977 at a small venue named Amazingrace, then  locatedat 845 Chicago Ave in Evanston IL. There, up on stage stood this white kid from Missouri, then 21, with huge a afro and and a very large hollow body electric guitar. This kid is really different. The guitar playing is like nothing I had heard before. Great technique, the scales, wide intervals, the melodic character of this music, the little excursions each of the songs take. And a very NEW sound with jazz "improvisation"  The bass sound is also new, because it is fretless and electric, that's Jaco Pastorius on bass. Bob Moses Drums. Recorded in 1976, not in the US… but in Ludwigsburg, Germany, for ECM Records. M5 SPACES. Next, we hear from the Band, Album, and title Song . . . all titled "SPACES". Another all-star cast, featuring Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin on guitars, Billy Cobham on drums, Chick Corea electric piano, and Miroslav Vitous on bass….. Vitous playing a bowed bass, in this case, an electrified, acoustic bass. And the Coryell-McLaughlin guitar combination, works well … it's surprising, as they have such different styles (Coryell's fury and power vs McLaughlin's texture and finesse). Much improvisation, much power in the guitar solo parts. This is a great instrumental album. The song SPACES was composed by Julie Coryell. This was originally recorded in 1971, and this release is 1974 from VANGUARD APOSTOLIC records. M6 The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin and the album "The Inner Mounting Flame" and the most laid back song on that album, if you will, a track named "Dawn" with John McLaughlin on Guitar, Jerry Goodman on Violin, Jan Hammer on Piano, Rick Laird Bass and Billy Cobham on Drums. Original composition of John McLaughlin. This first studio album, released in 1971, by Columbia Records.

Reginald Dwight, nació el 25 de marzo de 1947, en la localidad inglesa de Pinner. Sus padres fueron Stanley Dwight , fallecido en 1991 a los 66 años y Sheila Eileen Dwight. Cierto día, la madre encontró al pequeño Elton interpretando en el piano de la casa una melodía que acababa de escuchar en la radio. Desde entonces fue incentivado por su abuela para que tocara el piano y fuera músico; con cuatro años ya podía interpretar melodías simples, y a los 7 tocaba música en fiestas familiares. Por aquellos años admiraba a Elvis Presley, Bill Haley & His Comets, Little Richard oJerry Lee Lewis. Educado en la Royal Academy of Music gracias a una beca que consiguió en 1958 a la edad de 11 años, a partir de entonces comenzó a frecuentar dicha escuela, para dar clase los sábados y actuar en el coro. Con el tiempo se dio cuenta de que lo suyo no era la música clásica, por lo que, 6 años después, en 1964, decidió abandonar esta institución para dedicarse a la música rock. A los 15 años trabajaba como pianista en un pub cercano donde le llamaban Reggie. Allí interpretaba canciones de Ray Charles y Jim Reeves. En 1964 Reggie y unos amigos formaron la banda Bluesology, donde conoció al cantante Long John Baldry. Como homenaje a él y al saxofonista Elton Dean adoptó el nombre artístico de Elton John. En 1969 formó parte de la banda Argosy. La única grabación del grupo fueron dos canciones, «Mr. Boyd» e «Imagine».

Dopo la morte di Mogezi Feza, i Blue Notes quando si riuniscono sono adesso in quattro: e cioè Chris McGregor al piano, Dudu Pukwana al sax alto, Johnny Dyani al contrabbasso e Louis Moholo alla batteria. Nell'aprile del '77 vengono registrati dal vivo all'100 Club a Londra, e la Ogun ne trae un album, Blue Notes in Concert, che viene pubblicato nel '78, e più tardi riproposto, con materiale supplementare, in Cd. La formidabile coppia ritmica Harry Miller/Louis Moholo lavora fra l'altro nei picoli gruppi di Elton Dean e nel Ninesense del sassofonista, una delle più eccitanti formazioni della scena inglese dell'epoca: una straordinaria testimonianza del livello del Ninesense di Dean col contributo di Miller e Moholo la offre una registrazione amatoriale del '79, diventata nel 2012 un doppio Cd, anche questa effettuata all'100 Club, da cui prendiamo un ampio brano. Stellare, la formazione oltre a Dean, Miller e Moholo allinea Alan Skidmore, Marc Charig, Harry Beckett, Nick Evans, Radu Malfatti, Keith Tippett.
