A documentation of a music happening recorded at Judson Hall, NYC. Sept 8-9, 11-13, 1964 with a stellar line-up that includes James Tenney on piano, David Behrman, Max Neuhaus, Alvin Lucier, Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Allen Gingsberg and Jackson Mac Low. The idea, Allan Kaprow director explained, is “a collage of music and action”. The music was electronic, but the action was clearly electrifying as Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Originale was presented as the top event od Manhattan’s Second Annual Avant-Garde Festival.

Some of the most profound works in music and poetry have been elegies-expressions of sorrow, lamentation, loss. The piano literature is rich in elegiac music by Chopin, Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms. Bill Evans and Bud Powell made important elegiac statements. It could be argued that pieces like J.J. Johnson’s “Lament” and Benny Golson’s “I Remember Clifford” are, in the strict sense, elegies. Now comes young Brad Mehldau with an entire album of elegiac compositions and solo piano improvisations. This is a bold step for a young artist who has launched a promising career, and for his record company, for that matter. The risk is obvious; in a formula-ridden world, the music fits no formula. Mehldau has built his growing acceptance within the piano trio format.

Driven by the pulsation of the "Beat Generation" intellectual and literary movement, the French jazz ensemble Grand Ensemble Koa follows Jack Kérouac’s, Allen Ginsberg’s and William Burroughs’ steps and set the contrarian poets’ texts to music, interpreted in French and English by the luminous voice of Caroline Sentis.

This 15-track CD is a tribute to those days when the Big Apple proved to be a genuine crucible for a whole host of remarkable talents. From Joan Baez to Allen Ginsberg, from John Lee Hooker (with whom Dylan shared a bill in 61) to The Foc’sle Singers (featuring Bob's pals Dave Van Ronk and Paul Clayton), welcome to your soundtrack to this month's issue. Welcome to Dylan's Scene.
