DR.CHADBOURNE


Standing in front of the closed door of the 'Bimbo Tower' in Paris, France, I noticed a postcard that said "Glöggerne & Martin Klapper: With Dr. Chadbourne".

It turned out to be a flyer for the Tonometer Music label.

ZAPPATIKA IN CONCERT 2013 10 05





SUN RA REISSUES

The Saturn label is re-releasing "Art Forms Of Dimensions Tomorrow", the 1965 album, on 180 g vinyl.

And BYG Records is re-issuing "The Solar-Myth Approach Vol.1", from 1971, also on 180 g vinyl.


CAPTAIN BEEFHEART'S TROUT MASK REISSUED ON VINYL

Warner Brothers / Rhino is rereleasing Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" album on 180 g vinyl : MS2027HLP.


BENGT BERGER - BECHES BREW BIG

Swedish record label Country & Eastern is about to release "Beches Brew Big", another fine album by composer, drummer, producer and label manager Bengt Berger.

"Beches Brew Big" is an excellent follow-up to Bengt 'Beche' Berger's "Beches Brew". As the title of the new album suggests, the 5-piece ensemble has been extended to a nonet!
Livet Nord on violin and vocals, Jonas Knutsson on saxes, Mats Öberg on keyboards and harmonica, Göran Klinghagen on banjo and guitar, Thomas Gustafsson on saxes, Sir Thomas Jäderlund on vocals, saxes and clarinet, Max Schultz on vocals, banjo and guitar, Bengt Berger on drums, and Stefan Bellnäs on bass.
As one can expect from this incredible line-up, there is some great music to be enjoyed.

"Beches Brew Big" got recorded in concert in Stockholm and in Gothenburg last year, and it presents 11 highly enjoyable eclectic jazz or jazz-rock compositions.
And it's not just the compositions that are excellent, the soloing is superb.

Max Schultz's guitar sounds great in-between all the horns, and Mats Öberg's keyboard lines are great. If my ears don not deceive me, Mats even plays a (chromatic) harmonica solo and a keyboard solo at the same time in 'Babel Twist'. Amazing.

"Beches Brew Big" is a fine album. The following live fragment is from the same concert / recording session but it did not make the album. It will, however, give you a fine idea of what to expect from "Beches Brew Big".





LIL' GUITAR PIECES BY LILO

a message from LiLo /  HeLLo S.

HeLLo !

The first volume of my instrumental albums series "LIL' GUITAR PIECES" is ready.
On this occasion, I'll try a little experience... I won't put it for sale on the iTunes Store or any other plateform... I offer it to you.
But it still has a price: Its sale's price is... A Promise. By receiving it, you promise me to offer it to, at least, two friends of yours, who will also have to hold the same promise, and so on...
To receive it (Mp3 and .wav files) send a mail to: loswarn@yahoo.fr (you'll then be free to copy the album or give your friends this mail adress to receive it, which I'd prefer in order to follow its diffusion !). A CD version with visuals is on study, but it will be more expensive...




And here's fragments of LiLo's Zappanale concert from a couple of years ago.
