about
an imposing concert recording by a remarkable gathering of first & second generation american free jazz heavyweights. octogenarian marshall allen, a member of the sun ra arkestra since the early fifties & now the arkestra's acting leader, makes a rare small group appearance. septuagenarian edward "kidd" jordan is a secret hero of american music, a legendary musician whose dedication to grassroots education in his hometown of new orleans has kept his profile low among the general jazz public (his sons kent & marlon --& all the marsalis brothers-- number among his many students). a member of the 1960s arkestra, alan silva is widely recognized for his otherworldly bass playing & his innovations in the rarefied realm of large ensemble free improvisation. william parker & hamid drake are the premier rhythm section in the resurgent american free jazz scene, & the all-star game reveals yet another facet of their powerful chemistry.
There's much to celebrate about these two discs, classic encounters of the energy chapter of free jazz -- in each case two saxophones & rhythm section blowing toward some apocalyptic possibility; no theme in sight, with power & conviction that have too often seemed drained from American free jazz. What happens in each case is an explosion of impassioned utterance, soul-searing work in the rituals... 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...
