Misha Mengelberg - Pech Onderweg -1978- (LP, BVHaast 016), Netherlands

Misha Mengelberg is a Ukranian born renowned Dutch pianist, composer and Fluxus artist. He is one of the key figures in Dutch improvisation music and free-jazz. He founded the ICP (Instant Composers Pool) Orchestra together with Dutch jazz musicians Willem Breuker and Han Bennink. Mengelberg has played with all of the important impro musicians of the world like Steve Lacy, Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton and many more. He has been featured on hundreds of recordings.

Pech Onderweg, Trouble on The Road (actually trouble on the way) is a solo album of Mengelberg which came out on Willem Breuker's BVHaast label. This label became one of the key labels for Dutch jazz and impro music during the seventies and eighties. This is a very nice solo endeavour showing his improvisational skills and absurd humor in the titles of the songs.The ICP and BVHaast legacy might uncover the very essense of the good side to being Dutch. You can watch the ICP video below to get an idea. And Misha Mengelberg is starring in it.

Important!!!

Turn on, tune in, drop out. Today.

The music I offer here is for promotion only. Please look for records or cassettes yourself and support the artist. Always.

None of the music posted here can be found elsewhere on the internet as far as I know. Moreover the music is out of print for a long time. I share the music because I want you to hear it and because it deserves to be saved.

However, if you're an artist and you are not pleased with your music being published here please comment or send a mail and I'll remove the post instantly!

Mediation meditation:

The views and/or approaches to the music that I present here are primarily of a subjective nature open to endless different perspectives. They are a mix of interpretations: at times aiming at exploring the socio-cultural context surrounding the music, at times an endeavour to present some of the musical facts or to highlight the creative greatness. However this blog does not in any way claim all of this material in the light of self-proclaimed truth, nor tries to find a true form of its representation and not in the least tries to put its material in service of personal gain. This blog hopes to save obscure material, share this content with others and mostly hopes to inspire creative and urgent musical and artistic tendencies and their practices in the present. It also hopes to invoke the unveiling of additional context, knowledge or narrative by anyone that is able to provide new information about the presented material.

All rips are done by myself.

!Attention! I decided to move the d/l links to Mediafire since that seems to work better. Lots of links in the archive are dead or still on Zippyshare. Will try to update one day. Til then just request the re-up of something in the comments.

Music donations welcome: if you have something great and/or weird which has never seen the light of day and that you would like to see posted on the blog, feel free to contact me
