While listening to the Free America re-release of Emergency - Homage to Peace,

it began reminding me a bit of an LP from Tisziji Muñoz called "Rendezvous with Now."

It's been so long since I've listened to that record. Does anyone know more about this guy?

I know that he played with Pharoah some and, I think, Dave Liebman, but can anyone recommend any of his other recordings? Thanks!

Thanks Nate! I'll take a look.

I'd still like to hear some comments from listeners and/or musicians.

I've seen him perform a few times. Pharoah is on a few of his albums. Any of those are good place to start.

Aaaaah, OK. I was thinking that maybe he played with Pharoah live 'cause I didn't remember

seeing his name on any of the LPs, but, OK, so Pharoah joins him on a few tunes...

I've been a little wary of the...um...for lack of a better phrase..."cosmic consciousness" aspect -

or what seems like c.c. I'll look for some mp3s to hear something more than the first LP.

thanks David!

Sure!

I do think he's on at least one of Pharoah's albums, but I've never heard it.

Last time I heard him play live, Ravi Coltrane, Pharoah, Rashid Ali, Don Pate (bass) and Paul Shaffer (yes, the Letterman guy). I was down front and I'm pretty sure the entire club levitated. Amazing evening.

"cosmic consciousness" aspect

That translates to sounding like late period Coltrane (for me, a good thing).

I have "Auspicious Healing" and "Present without a Trace," and would heartily recommend them both. AH has a slight edge for me because I'm a big fan of Henry kaiser, Marilyn Crispell, and Mark Dresser, but PWAT has Saunders. THere are samples of the latter on the website.

"Hu-Man Spirit" with Liebman looks very attractive. I may pick that one up next!

I know what you mean about late Trane and that's not really the kind of c.c. that I'm talking about.

It's the kind that I'm sure that you've heard that often involves endless noodling -

you know, very little substance which is far from late Trane.

Thanks Louis and welcome to the Board! I'll check out the titles that you mentioned at the website.

Hm...I'll have to listen to some Tisziji again. It's been a while.

I saw a hypnotic Tsizji set at Tonic last summer (warmed up for Zorn). My friends and I really enjoyed the intensity of the experience, went well with a shot of tequila. I don't know any of his records though.
