Lainasin kirjan "Now Jazz Now : 100 Essential Free Jazz & Improvisation Recordings 1960–80". Tekstit ovat hulvattomia, vievät mukaansa!
Musiikin suhteen olen pitkiä aikoja passiivinen, en kuuntele yhtään mitään. Kun sitten laitan jotain soimaan, huitelen sinne tänne, etsin jotakin. Nuorempana otin jazzin liian vakavasti, kuvittelin että En Vaan Osaa, jos jokin ei tarttunut. Päättelin, että jazz on heitä varten, jotka itse soittavat ja ymmärtävät jammailun päälle. Oli aika päätellä toisin.

Tom Prehn Axiom
test pressing - Sonet (Denmark, 1963) SLP 1900
A forgotten and lost masterpiece of Creative Free Jazz. FREE jazz. FREE JAZZ. Danish. Free Jazz. As shocking as the fact might be for people who believe all Creative Jazz was first explored and invented in America and Southern Europe, some of the most serious experimentation of the early 1960s was actually done in Denmark. A strong, unpolished urge to embrace freedom existed in the land of open-faced sandwiches and wild bicycle behavior.
Rune Grammofon finally put this baby out on viny in 2016, fifty-two years after it was recorded! Two copies of a test pressing were made before the original release was stopped by the group. Prehn and company felt they had already moved on musically and there was no need for this music to be released! Shocking! The Chicago-based label Corbett vs Dempsey found this music on a dusty Sonet test pressing, and released the sounds for the first time on CD in 2015. This album is as fresh as it gets.
Beginning with basic Jazz elements, the band transforms everything into a crazy mirror of freedom. The music is sensationally free from restriction. You can hear and feel the naked exploration involved in the group's process, illustrated by the members' interactions. Fritz Krogh's free tenor sax playing is a trip. He blows hard, tearing down prejudices with his reed storm, remolding it all into a beautiful COLLECTIVE gush. All instruments contribute equally to non-hierarchical waves of music, in which free moving densities interact with slabs of freedom and poetry.
This beautiful object has in its original test pressing form, a printed cover on thick, yummy cardboard that smells goooooooood. The thick vinyl with its bright red Sonet labels makes my mouth water and my mind expand!
This is a true holy grail. We know that there are many grails around (in the mind of a discaholic there seem to be a need to create GRAILS,) but good luck finding one of the two existing test pressings of this one. (MG)

Ensimmäisten vajaan kolmenkymmenen joukossa on ollut puolisen tusinaa albumia, joita ei löydy musiikin suoratoistopalveluista (käytän ilmaisia) eikä kirjastoista.

Jazzista puheenollen pitää mainita Craig Mod, pitkään Japanissa asunut valokuvaaja ja kirjailija, jonka kävelyprojektit ovat niin mittavia, että tällaista amatööritepastelijaa hirvittää. Takavuosina lueskelin hänen blogiaan enemmänkin, nyt on jäänyt vähemmälle.
Esimerkki: Mod käveli Japanissa 1000 kilometriä ja dokumentoi jazzkahvilatraditiota. Vuonna 2020 ilmestyneen kirjan nimen on suomalaisen helppo muistaa, "Kissa By Kissa".
