Ravi's show turned out to be a more exciting set than the S-E show. I was surprised - not that Ravi wouldn't be good, but that Tolliver's show was a little sloppy and never really brought the energy I was expecting.
Here's Ravi w/Jeff "Tain" Watts, David Virelles and Dezron Douglas
I have that box, too. Great stuff. Plus most of the Tolliver albums.
Here's another one of Tolliver at the NYC Winter JazzFest w/Camille Thurman, Aaron Johnson, Darrell Green, Christian McBride
How about the ENTIRE Muse Catalog!
I don't understand how all of that great music can remain OOP for so long. Especially with the rise of remastered classic albums on vinyl.
A little late, but I finally got around to watching this doc. Much more interesting than I expected. And some great 'talking heads' (not the band) appearances by fairly obscure artists. I learned a lot about the development of the Free Jazz scene, too.
I contributed to the Kickstarter campaign they ran several years ago and had forgotten that they promised a screen credit if you contributed at a certain level ($50 maybe?). I was actually there! 😎
Outstanding set. I got the Slugs' albums way back in the 70's and have always been favorites.
McBee, Tolliver and many others will both be at the NYC Winter JazzFest tribute to Strata-East in a few weeks. Really looking forward to that show!
