Freddie Hubbard/Ilhan Mimaroglu: Song of Songmy
Posted on February 16, 2006 by hcrink
Crazy record that probably scared Freddie Hubbard fans with it's extreme Avant Garde-ness. Yet, does not seem to be super well known among Avant Garde enthusiasts - proabaly because it's credited to Hubbard and was released on Atlantic. But, this is every bit as ruthlessly experimantal as anything I've heard on any fringe Classical label. The whole thing is equal parts Chamber Music, Electronics, and Jazz - as you will hear in this exerpt from the track "Threnody For Sharon Tate".

Ilhan Mimaroglu is the reason why this record is some weird/amazing. He’s one of the big names of tape/experimental/early electonic music. He’s a Turkish composer that studied musicology and composition at Columbia in the 50s. He also produced some good jazz records like Mingus’ “Changes One.” And he ran a label called Finnadar that put out some of his records. He also had some stuff out on Folkways. All of his records and everything on Finnandar are worth checking out. His Folkways will hopefully end up on here soon.
yeah this record is definetly WAY out there.
