In the early '70s, Belgian improvisor Fred Van Hove released three LPs on the Vogel label. These recordings, issued in very small quantitites, have become some of the most sought-after and difficult to find items in the canon of European improvised music. Even some of the hardest-digging vinyl freaks haven't heard of these treasures- let alone own them. Compiling the two solo Vogel records (Fred Van Hove and Live At The University) and one record of duets with tenor saxophonist Cel Overberghe (Een Tweede Vogel), aswell as an even rarer 7-inch 45 by Van Hove and Overberghe, this set offers a rare document of one of the greatest pianists in free music from a particularly fertile period in his career. As a visual complement to this two-disc set of astonishing music, UMS has included a lavish gallery of photographs by award-winning photographer Grard Rouy, taken during the era of the lp...thisplump package will prove an invaluable insight...
