Live Newport 1963
- Publication date
- 1963-01-01
Joe Daley is a little heard of saxophone legend in the history of Chicago Jazz. This trio, featuring Hal Russell (of NRG ENSEMBLE fame) on drums and Chicago's Occult Bookstore proprietor Russell Thorne on bass, existed for only a handful of years before Daley's resistance to the free jazz and avant influences being brought into the group by the rhythm section caused the group to dissolve.
The tunes here reflect an interest in the coming wave of avant garde developing in mid 60s Chicago with the birth of the AACM and the Art Ensemble. Thorne's contributions are particularly influenced by his association with John Cage and eastern philosophy.
Although this record is titled "Live in Newport 1963" it is actually a studio record that has been masked to be live. On the original LP there were breaks between songs that had an announcer introducing each tune. Any audible applause or sounds were added in the studio to create the live feel. The almost apologetic tone of the announcer (reportedly Daley himself?) and the uneven mixing of his vocal level create a horrible framework for an otherwise highly innovative piece of avant garde jazz history.
(All of the announcer intros have been removed from the album here)

I played with the Joe Daley Quartet from 1979-1982 and I'd like to add that Joe continued playing in the free bag, as he liked to call it, through my time with him. We always had at least one free concept piece during our sets, along with his marvelous improvisations on standard jazz tunes.

Apart from the introductory remarks by Father Norman O'Connor (track 1 on the original LP), all of the spoken comments were indeed by Joe Daley himself. I met him about six years after this record was made and that is unmistakably his voice. I am also in total agreement about the importance of this album and would love to see this performance issued - in stereo - in its entirety - on CD.
