I am super excited to announce that a live recording of Ran Blake and I will be released on First Archive Records (an imprint of HatHut Switzerland) later this year!
From their site: "FIRST VISIT ARCHIVE OFFERS PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED RECORDINGS OF HISTORIC AND MUSICAL IMPORTANCE"
Ran Blake and Dave Knife Fabris Live at BIMhuis will be the label's second release (after The Cecil Taylor Unit Live At Fat Tuesdays):
This recording from '06 sat in my archives until the pandemic lockdown when I rediscovered it and found a gem of a live set...thankfully, the great producer Werner Uelinger heard the magic and has agreed to put this recording out after all these years. Ran plays an amazing solo piano set including Monk, Pete Rugalo and Theodorakis followed by a set of duets including Shostakovitch, Ornette Coleman and Stevie Wonder - our most consistent live playing ever recorded!
