Description
Albin & Rebekah Zak -- Sphinx LP
Original 1978 US stereo private pressing on Gabriel Records (Brighton MA) (catalog # ZA 1001).Completely obscure private press free-form avant-folk/free-jazz LP from Boston. Extended guitar-piano duets, with four powerful improvised dissonant experimental pieces. In the liner notes the Zaks speak of the musical guidance they received from Ran Blake and Joseph Maneri... and their love of Charles Ives.
waxidermy.com: Here's an obscure private press release from 1978 on Gabriel Records. This record consists of four long tracks with Albin on acoustic guitar and Rebekah on piano. The whole LP has a moody, introspective vibe to it. They even do a cover of "lonely woman" by Ornette Coleman. I think their quote from the liner notes sums it up best: "Thus, our music is primarily us. Whatever else it may be, it is essentially a means of expressing, and thereby discovering, what lies beyond human consciousness." Indeed.Tracks:
- Lonely Woman Sphnix Bou Molmolpis (Greek Traditional)
grade only used if record is brand new.
Bid with confidence -- over 12000 positive feedbacks selling vinyl on eBay since 1998, with a total 11-year average of 100% positive.
