MUSIC FOR A TELEVISION BALLET

RIEDAIGLIA

SWEDISH RADIO JAZZ GROUP & CHAMBER CHOIR

conducted by GEORG RIEDEL & ERIC ERICSON

SVERIGES RADIO label (RELP 1051), 1967

Those of us who have known the “golden age” of jazz blogging a few years ago do fondly remember El Reza’s blog.  Reza, Bacoso, Ish, Arkadin, Katonah, El Goog Ja, Simon, Basso … all these blokes inspired me to start a jazz blog of my own.  I am therefore much honored and pleased to present today El Reza’s first contribution to the Boogieman’s blog. 

Superb Nordic jazz with shades of Sun Ra / Art Ensemble Of Chicago / Palle Mikkelborg Mysterious Corona / Marion Brown's Le Temps Fou funky free jazz and groovy psychedelic sounds of the period. Experimental mood music recorded in the studios of the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation for the TV ballet, Riedaiglia (an avant garde dance production by Lars Egler with choreography by Alvin Ailey). Features the psychedelic club tune Gluttony, Strange, spacey and addictive atmospheres with lots more improvised jazz horns / scat voices / sophisticated rhythms and solos throughout the whole LP (El Reza / Discogs)
