Reissue with the latest remastering and the original cover artwork. Comes with a description written in Japanese. Lionel Hampton was always at his best in a concert setting and this 1979 performance in Haarlem, the Netherlands, is not exception. Fronting a tentet consisting of both veterans and younger musicians, the vibraphonist's energy is contagious to both his band and the audience. The opener, "Glad Hamp" is a furious reworking of the chord changes to "I Got Rhythm," showcasing trumpeter Joe Newman.
Paul Bley Trio - Paul Bley (p); Mark Levinson (b); Barry Altschul (dr). Recorded live at "Hildebrandzzal", Haarlem, NL, 4.11.1966.
The most relevant stages in Paul Bley’s musical works were however his trio formations. The bassists Steve Swallow, Eddie Gomez, Kent Carter or Mark Levinson and the drummers Pete LaRoca, Barry Altschul or Paul Motian played with him. This live recording at a concert in Haarlem, Holland is a good example at the "mastery" at a Paul Bley trio.

Amsterdam's Concertgebouw Orchestra has a famous Mahler tradition, dating back to the composer's contemporary Willem Mengelberg. Chailly's 12-CD set of all 10 symphonies (including the last, completed by Deryck Cooke) will add to the lustre. Chailly recorded them over a decade, to a mixed reception. They are comparatively reticent and serious - "de-neuroticised", one reviewer put it - with an emphasis on the integrity of the overall structure rather than the immediate phrase.
