about
double c/d set documenting two 1999 concerts (amherst & boston) by this summit gathering of american free jazz heavies. two continuous long-form group improvisations. a major statement on american free jazz methodologies at the end of the century. 'a wall of energy, a tidal wave of celebration, that sweeps away the listener.'

This recording of two concerts at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and MIT at Cambridge are striking for two reasons: One is that they smoke ass; the other is that the two elder players here, both saxophonists, Fred Anderson, who runs the Velvet Lounge in Chicago, the city's hottest spot for new creative music, and New Orleans professor Edward "Kidd" Jordan, are still shielded by the spotlight rather than having it shone on them. Meanwhile their younger, crack rhythm section of bassist William Parker and drummer Hamid Drake are celebrated all over the planet in both mainstream and marginal publications for their brilliance and dedication to bringing "free" creative jazz out from under the rock of obscurity... more

Blue Winter by Fred Anderson, Hamid Drake, William Parker blue winter is a milestone achievement in the career of tenor saxophone stalwart fred anderson. an exponent of the illustrious chicago heavyweight tenor tradition that includes his contemporaries gene ammons, johnny griffin, john gilmore & von freeman, anderson spent decades as a family man & bar owner before starting to seriously tour & record in the nineties. born 1929 in monroe, louisiana, anderson migrated to chicago in 1940, devoting many years of study to the music of lester young, coleman hawkins, & charlie parker. in 1964 anderson co-founded the seminal chicago musicians' organization the association for the advancement of creative musicians (AACM). the strength & individuality of his playing in early AACM ensembles with muhal richard abrams, joseph jarman, & henry threadgill earned anderson the nickname "the lone prophet of the prairie." joining anderson on blue winter is one of...
1999-06-05 Amherst by Alan Silva Celestrial Communication Ensemble t II 31:27 about “This is first & foremost religious music. Every sound serves an extra-musical purpose —creating a sonic analogy to a mystical experience. The sheer roiling volume, density & fullness of tone fills the listener with a powerful sense of the infinite, a sublime combination of awe, dread, & unearthly ravishments.” —Ed Hazell, 1999 Alan Silva (born Bermuda, 1939) made regular appearances on the Western Massachusetts eremite records scene from 1998 > 2004. He performed at the last two Fire in the Valley festivals (1999 & 2002), played in small ensembles with Marshall Allen, Johannes Bauer, Malcolm Goldstein, Sunny Murray, William Parker, & Oluyemi Thomas (among others), led the final concerts by his 35+ year open-form large ensemble juggernaut, the “Celestrial Communications Orchestra” (2003), & guested with numerous visiting musicians, including 2 Days in April with Fred ...
We Are Not At The Opera by Sunny Murray & Sabir Mateen like baby dodds and kenny clarke before him, sunny murray revolutionized the role of the drum kit in jazz. his playing with ayler and taylor opened up entirely new expressive realms for the instrument, and his influence on the last thirty-five years of improvised music cannot be overestimated. long in exile from the american scene, murray made a rare working visit to the states in the summer of 1998. this live recording from a 27 june unitarian meetinghouse performance in amherst unites him with an old comrade, the masterful multi-instrumentalist sabir mateen, who stimulates some of murray's most intense playing on record since the classic jump up side with jimmy lyons. both men are former citizens of the nation state philadelphia, pa, and that pitiless city's deep tradition of great black music courses through the set. if action music -- furiously energized and immediate -- is what you dig, this set delivers heavil...
