David Murray

[JohnS]

The new cd 'Sacred Ground' is out on 26 June and available for pre-order from CD universe.

Who is playing with him?

Ronald,

I've lost the quote but if I remember correctly it's a quartet date with Lafayette Gilchrist, Andrew Cyrille, can't recall the bass player and, added on some(?) tracks I think, Cassandra Wilson!

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really enjoying her singing on this tune...

This looks like a thorough overview of Murray's 90s recordings.

57 records in ten years!

The prelude:

... sorta like what Del Shannon did with Andrew Loog Oldham except this one would be unlistenable!

And no way could there be a cover as truly....whatever as this one:

JSngry, really enjoyed your long post, man. You really nailed it. I've seen David a number of times between 1985 and 2005, including the show in Boston where he first presented PAUL GONZALVES, and I've never been disappointed. I can understand why some don't get it, but man, reading your post was like reading my own mind. Thanks for saying it better than I could have.

[JSngry]

Glad to be of service!

I agree with Thom about your post, Mr. Sangry. I also wanted to say that since I first started on Organissimo, I have read as many of your posts as possible. I did not know that there was such a well-informed, insightful writer on jazz active today.

[JSngry]

Again, thanks.

But really... I'm not a "writer". Larry Kart, Chris Albertson, & Allen Lowe are writers, and damn good ones at that. I'm just a guy with feelings, opinions, some semblance of syntax, a computer, and some experience in music as both player, listener, and fan.

You'd probably have a better time coming over to the house for some drinks and letting me play Rambling DJ.

Warning though, I "stray" from jazz freely, gladly, and wildly. But it all ends up coming back home, at least to my home.

[JSngry]

And btw - if we're going to get "familiar", please call me Jim.

I understand... Jim.

Sorry, I was showing Being There to my film class today and I'm in a quote rut.

Jim, That sounds like fun, having some drinks and letting you play Rambling DJ. What do you mean that you stray freely, gladly and wildly? I am probably picturing it not the way that you mean.

[JSngry]

Juat mean that I "free associate" musically, and without too many limits or boundaries or whatever.

Well, that sounds more interesting than hearing Kenny G in a Starbucks!

Sorry in advance for being lazy, but I don't want to dig back through all these pages. LOL

What do you guys think of the Octet Plays Trane album?

I was playing this earlier and really enjoyed it. Murray's playing on Naima is especially tasty.

I haven't listened to it for a while but it is probably my favorite Murray disc in recent years.

[Guy Berger]

It's a really nice album.

On first listen, I'm rather liking Hal Singer's Challenge (Marge). He's playing with David Murray, and Murray's group (Lafayette Gilchrist on piano, Jaribu Shahid on bass, Hamid Drake on drums, and Rasul Siddik on trumpet on two cuts). Four Murray compositions, three by Singer, and one standard. Hal Singer was 91 at the time of this recording. All parties conduct themselves well.

Whoa. Curious to hear this.
