Days Of Steam 002: svvimming

(Mix released March 20, 2021) "Lemongrass Mix" is the only descriptor given me when @benjamin_munoz sent this over. Much like how his music feels like mobile sculptures hanging in midair, attached by strings but with no solid ground, left to float, this mix brings together surrealist soundworlds and unclassifiable infinities. Herzog, Kureishi, and Miyazaki meeting at the local. Mutant pop consorts with free jazz, hyperpop blasts dissolve into musique concrète - the bleeps and scattered tones of a mind forming itself, and revealing itself to the world.

Alexander Von Schlippenbach — Globe Unity (Corbett Vs. Dempsey)

The Globe Unity Orchestra notched more than a few accolades. It was the first European free jazz big band, and in retrospect, the first improv supergroup. During a history that spanned over 20 years of fairly steady work and a more recent pattern of convening every ten years, it has carried a standard for concerted international effort to improve the world through the transmission of sonic energy. They didn’t call it Globe Unity for nothing; its ranks were a model of multi-national cooperation, and it traveled far from its birthplace in Germany, thrilling and outraging audiences in locales as distant as Chicago and New Delhi.

Composer, pianist and lead Alexander von Shlippenbach didn’t necessarily have all of that in mind when he put the first GUO together. He didn’t even call it that; “Globe Unity” was just the name of the first piece it played. In the mid-1960s, he was part of a circle of musicians who had already been contributing for some time to the loosening and intensifying of jazz’s strictures in Europe. But he was not one who chose to forsake all he had learned in the process. Born in 1938, his post-war education included tutelage in classical composition, as well as a personal affinity for modern jazz. The two side-long pieces on this LP represented attempts to incorporate the sounds of free music into extent jazz and classical orchestral forms. 

When this music was first performed at the 1966 Berlin Jazz Festival, Schlippenbach combined the top German free jazz combos — the Gunter Hampel Quartet, Manfred Schoof Quintet, and Peter Brötzmann Trio. The next month, he recorded “Globe Unity” and “Sun” in Cologne. The personnel list is a heavy who’s who, and some folks might zero in on the names of the two drummers, Jaki (then spelled Jackie) Liebezeit and Mani Neumeier. In times to come, each would shape the rhythmic content of freak-forward German rock music, in Can and Guru Guru respectively. But that’s not what they played here. In concert with Schlippenbach, who played tubular bells, gongs, and both the interior and keys of his piano, and vibraphonist Karl Berger, they provided a multi-hued manifestation of otherness and density. The two bassists added as much seething presence as pulse. Sometimes dramatic, other times exotic (which was not viewed then with the skepticism that it sometimes is now), and only very occasionally swinging, the rhythm section transcended its duties within the big band idiom to contribute immensely to the music’s orchestral qualities. 

The horns, however, are what made this music massive. You don’t need the back cover action shot of players in the studio, confronted by overflowing music stands, to know that their united projection was charted out. The time when the orchestra would take on instant composition at an ensemble-wide scale was still a ways off. But by incorporating the broader tonal and timbral resources of the contemporary avant-garde into organized blocks of sound, they achieved a complex and looming sound which was matched at the time only by Sun Ra’s Arkestra. When individual voices cut through, either as breakaway soloists or connecting joints in the multi-segmented compositions, they functioned both as foci for the energy and agents of structural cohesion. 56 years on, it’s still thrilling. 

Globe Unity has gone in and out of the print since its first release by SABA in 1967, and this its return to the physical realm is welcome. This edition, licensed by the historically astute Corbett Vs. Dempsey imprint, is confined to limited CD and LP editions that recreate the original LP’s gatefold sleeve. It’s gorgeous, but one has to point out that anyone who is likely to buy a CD is also unlikely to be able to read Schlippenbach’s much-reduced liner notes unless they supplement their normal corrective eyewear with a magnifying glass. Old eyes would benefit from either a fold-out insert or an online resource. But music like this is for hearing more than reading, and this reissue sounds gloriously present and alive.

(You Belong | Turn On The Sunlightから)

You Belong by Turn On The Sunlight

Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Jesse Peterson is the heart and constant thread of the musical project Turn On The Sunlight. 'You Belong' is the fifth in an ongoing series of records that Peterson has made with a community of his close friends and collaborators, including his beloved wife, Mia Doi Todd, bright Orange laughter luminary Laraaji, experimental and folkloric visionary Luis Pérez Ixoneztli, and his frequent partner in rhyme, percussionist and producer Carlos Niño. The sound here is a perfect mixture of folk, ambient, spiritual jazz and peaceful open space improvisational flow. 'You Belong' was made in the Glendale, California, Home Studio of Peterson and Todd during 2021 and 2022. "The sudden shift in expectations and trajectory that I and many people have experienced in the past couple of years allowed me to access certain feelings and memories from the more distant past that might have been less accessible before, which probably accounts for my sudden urge to reach out to Cavana," recounts Peterson of the album's main featured collaborator Cavana Lee. "Making the album was a helpful way of working through these thoughts and feelings because of the high level of expression that the participating musicians brought to it, like I was being led by their example. ‘You Belong’ is the most collaborative of all the Turn On The Sunlight records," Peterson continues, "in that almost every song features different musicians. It grew out of a variety of collaborations in our home studio and incorporates friends recording themselves in other locations throughout the world, so it felt like the circle was growing as the album grew, which was a nice feeling. Cavana's singing is a new element and it was exciting to hear how her voice brought out the heart of the music." At the center of the 4 key pieces that weave this album together is a truly unique symbiosis between Peterson and Cavana Lee (who met in boarding school in 1992). Lee (the daughter of magical jazz, avant-garde singer Jeanne Lee and multi-instrumentalist, composer, band leader, independent record label pioneer Gunter Hampel) remembers what it was like when she heard from Peterson out of the blue about whether she was open to writing and recording to several of his new pieces. "We were in the middle of the pandemic," recalls Lee, who lives in Berlin, "and the music industry had stopped where it was. As a singer, I suddenly had no access to public venues… I had just given up my singing space because that was forbidden in Germany at that time. Just then Jesse reached out and asked if I was interested… I was very slow in recording because I had very low digital skills at the time… I am quite an analog person. I remember the reaction I had when I heard the piece we now call “You Belong", with Laraaji. It was so full of life’s facets and in touch with Nature, I felt inspired to dedicate my voice in this song to the natural spirit of the Universe (at least how I perceive it). Also inspired by the space journeys of Sun Ra and my own father's improvised compositions, I imagine that this is what the wind, the sun, any of the elements that travel through space and the ethers would say to human beings right now. A message full of Love and Connection at a time where things felt really disconnected and disjointed. I needed this message for myself, I suppose. That’s how that track developed," Lee reflects, "it brought me there." 'You Belong' finds Peterson as the catalyst for and caretaker of advanced togetherness where an array of adventurous musicians and creative artists are featured atop and intertwined with his swirling foundations and welcoming arrangements. In addition to everyone mentioned above, “You Belong” has contributions from gyil master SK Kakraba, saxophonist Randal Fisher, trumpeter Sean Okaguchi, guitarist Fabiano Do Nascimento, keyboardist Surya Botofasina, experimentalist Sam Gendel, bassist Ricardo Dias Gomes, bass clarinetist Pablo Calogero, flautist Aisha Mars, pianist Jamael Dean, drummers Andres Renteria and Efa Etoroma Jr., and his close friends from New York, Mike Wexler and Koen Holtkamp. Produced and mixed by Jesse Peterson,'You Belong' is remarkable and diverse, a cohesive album that sings of Universal Family, Caring, Being, and openness. Lee reveals, “‘You Belong’ is a Love declaration from Nature to us. It is a salve. It is a reminder of what we have forgotten. That forgetfulness is causing collective pain. ‘You Belong’ is an invitation to remember." Peterson concurs, “‘You Belong’ affirms that we can all be our whole beings and are all part of the whole of being. Music is a force that moves through us all, and that feeling can be transmitted through our expression, whether we're consciously aware of it or not, we all belong… we are all involved…” クレジット2022年10月14日リリース Music by Jesse Peterson & Friends featuring Cavana Lee Produced and Mixed by Jesse Peterson Recorded by Jesse Peterson throughout 2021 and 2022 in Glendale, CA, with additional recording by Byron Westbrook, Cavana Lee, Belail Lee-Hampel, Ricardo Dias Gomes, Luis Pérez Ixoneztli, Sam Gendel, Mike Wexler, Koen Holtkamp, and Carlos Niño.

Gunter Hampel Interviewed

Some years ago, multi-instrumentalist Gunter Hampel explained free jazz to me as basketball (Hampel was a German b-ball Olympian). "If you had never seen a game it would look completely chaotic, with almost no rules at all. It's only when you learn more you see the beauty inside the bedlam." So, I was happy to hear Gunter using the same analogy at 80 years old, in an interview with Raul da Gama. "Anyone who ever had the experience to play basketball, or soccer, or play Jazz music in a team knows how challenging it is to be and play and perform in a group, a team knows what a team spirit is capable of doing with this​ group experience; anyone who is playing professionally or just for fun knows the things you can achieve when the group is happening. ... You're asked to leave your ego at home and dedicate all you've got to make the team enjoying...this together." And, keeping with his age-old, completely open philosophies, when asked about the challenges of playing his style of music, Gunter replied... "To get enough money to do larger projects; or to do more children’s workshops; because they need us most in this computer age.​" By the way, looking at the article's photographs, I can tell that Gunter is still playing ball. I don't know about you, but I know I won't be able to stay thin at 80.

Recording Gunter Hampel @WKCRFM 

Most people have never heard of composer, multi-instrumentalist*, and former Olympic basketball player Gunter Hampel, or even most of his collaborators. But for several years he was very important to me and a few friends at WKCR-FM. Gunter was the first person to put my name on a record, the person who lit the path that it was possible for a son of pharmacists from Long Island to get into the music business. 

It was either David Reitman or Jim Carroll, college radio colleagues, who introduced me to Gunter when he came up to the station for a live radio shot with vocalist Jeanne Lee and clarinetist Perry Robinson. I set up the microphones and beheld some of the wildest sounds my rock’n’roll ears had every heard. Mesmerized, horrified, and enchanted, I stared and smiled simultaneously. A few hours later, Gunter politely asked if he could have a copy, so I ran it off for our station library and handed over the master. And promptly forgot about it. 

Several months later a package arrived for me with several copies of Spirits and this liner...

It was almost shocking, I couldn’t believe it. “...engineered by Fred Seibert.” My first credit on an actual 12″ vinyl LP. And my name was spelled correctly; well, he was German, after all. I’d dreamed about being in the recording industry but had no idea that it was at all practical. There was no internet guidance in those days and I knew no one who knew anything about anything I was interested in. Honestly, I couldn’t even fathom that I was at a genuine radio station. 

But, simple as pie Gunter made it real for me. From then on there’d be no stopping. 

We got along well, Gunter and Jeanne (they were a couple) were fantastically nice folks. I engineered a few more sessions for Gunter’s groups. It wasn’t easy for as unreconstructed an avant-gardist as he to find inexpensive ways to get recorded, and I was a conduit for free sessions. He continued to come up to the station, once squeezing nine players into a studio that was maybe comfortable for five. I got permission from Mike Mantler and Carla Bley when they were traveling to use their 16-track home studio outside Woodstock NY for one of his dates featuring Anthony Braxton. That was the end of our association, since, innocently, they left the Mantler/Bley kitchen a complete mess with their food; Mike was not happy with me that day. 

It was a great run I had with Gunter Hampel. I loved the music, as challenging as it was (once, Alan Goodman and I went to see one of Gunter’s 15 piece bands in a loft; we were the only two in the audience). I didn’t see him again after the Woodstock session; sadly Jeanne Lee –the mother of his children and a total sweetheart with an amazing set of pipes– passed way too early. 

The man gave me a chance. He gave me hope. Thanks Gunter.
