SUGARCANE HARRIS & JEAN-LUC PONTY - ABSOLUTELY LIVE

  • sugarcane harris & jean-luc ponty: absolutely live
        (????, lp, the netherlands, boots productions)
The label name, "Boots Productions", gives it away: this is an unofficial release.

Recorded during two concerts at the Berlin Jazz Festival in Germany in 1971, the songs got released on Sugarcane Harris' "Sugar Cane's Got The Blues" LP (= side A) and on Jean-Luc Ponty's "New Violin Summit" (side B).

Next to Sugarcane and Jean-Luc, the recordings feature Neville Whitehead on bass, Robert Wyatt on drums, Terje Rypdal on guitar on one track and Volker Kriegel on guitar on two other tracks, plus Wolfgang Dauner on keyboards, and special guest Nipso Brantner also on violin.

Guitar player Volker Kriegel, as you might know, was part of the Dave Pike Set with whom he recorded FZ's 'Mother People', released on the "Noisy Silence - Gentle Noise"  album, with another version to be found on one of Volker's solo albums.
