Palcoscenico

Welcome!

2011-06-24T22:32:00.007+02:00

As you can see from the discography below this is just a little label blog with 9 releases only, but I found the records released by the obscure label Palcoscenico promising enough to set up this blog. Palcoscenico is Italian for stage - an adequate name as all the albums were recorded live in November 1979 during the Festival del Jazz al Ciak (October 29 - November 11, 1979) in a still existing theatre called CIAK, Milan ("ciak" is Italian for the film term clapper or clapper board). The festival also featured concerts with Betty Carter (with John Hicks, Curtis Lundy, Kenny Washington), Sam Rivers (with Dave Holland and Thurman Barker) and Tete Montoliu Trio (with Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins). Their performances either were not recorded or could not be issued due to standing contracts with other labels (thanks to LC for the informations!)
I reckon Palcoscenico Records was launched by CIAK itself respectively by Leo Wächter, founder of CIAK and "geniale impresario del mondo dello spettacolo". That's about all I can tell you about this label, so if you, dear reader, have more informations, don't hesitate to share them with us.
I'd like to dedicate this blog to all the hard working label bloggers and their contributors - you know how you are! :)

P.S.: No, I'm not colour-blind ;)

UPDATE: COMPLETE!

I've just posted Gaetano Liguori - Terzo Mondo on my main blog which means this label blog is complete! First of all many thanks to the contributors - I really appreciate your help! Thanks also to everyone leaving a comment thus animating and supporting this blog. I hope you enjoy the music -

Cheers!
