One of the best concerts of 1997 is now one of the best releases of 1998. The fire-breathing Trio Hurricane made one previous album 10 years ago, a tribute to Jimmy Lyons, and hadn't played together since, but at Amherst's annual all-day free jazz fest, FIRE IN THE VALLEY, they picked up where they left off in a set played with life-or-death intensity. The energy level is impressive, but it's the band's rapport and the tight focus, concentration, and discipline that makes the album extraordinary. Spearman's urgency is of Biblical proportions, and his tenor jeremiads of blisteringly fast runs, choppy short phrases, squeals, and white-hot sounds are delivered with righteous wrath that burns like coals.

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 ...
