Some words on this issue: VON SCHLIPPENBACH, ALEXANDER: “The Living Music” (Quasar – HO-1) Rare TRUE 1st original press on the blue-colored QUASAR label and housed in silkscreen sleeve that opens up on the top. 2nd pressing jacket opens up sideways. Third pressing saw the light on FMP records. This is the very first pressing in outstanding condition. “Alexander Von Schlippenbach, along with Peter Brotzmann and Manfred Schoof, was one of the founders of the German free jazz collective FMP Records. Like all good collectives, FMP knew how to conserve resources: the entirety of the Living Music, as well as half of Brotzmann’s legendary 1969 album Nipples, was recorded by the same musicians in one day. Unlike Brotzmann’s corrosive, chaotic Nipples, the six pieces on The Living Music explore the concepts of open spaces and collective improvisation at least as much as they do everyone-solos-at-once clatter. As a result, Manfred Schoof’s "Wave" builds up an astounding head of steam thanks to the force of a seven-piece band all headed in the same musical direction, and there are parts of the title track that are downright contemplative, particularly a brief, fractured solo from Von Schlippenbach that's more Bill Evans Than Cecil Taylor. Brotzmann, of course, is the star of the album, and his spotlight comes on the second half of "Into the Staggerin," where the rest of the band lays out and Brotzmann plays a tenor solo that recalls Albert Ayler’s best work in the way it combines honk-blat-phwee aggressiveness and a genuinely lyrical compositional sense. Nipples may be the more famous of these two albums, but The Living Music may well be the better.” (All Music Guide). Spot on description and so right, although Nipples is monumental, this one might even be a notch better. TOP copy 1st original German private press issue – with jacket opening at the top in near perfect nick.
