clifford_thornton Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Gonna throw it on right now and see if my impressions remain the same. I remember preferring the duo to the trio with Favors, but then again, my BYG sounds like poo (as do most). Edit to say: yes, I'm hearing a dissonance in approach here. Still a good record.

ep1str0phy Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Gonna throw it on right now and see if my impressions remain the same. I remember preferring the duo to the trio with Favors, but then again, my BYG sounds like poo (as do most). Edit to say: yes, I'm hearing a dissonance in approach here. Still a good record. I think Redman clicked with Eddie Moore, but I need to listen to those sides a bit more. I won't subtract for not coming to "full" terms with Blackwell, because his drumming (to me) requires a level of give-and-take and melodic empathy that few players would feel both comfortable and free with--Blackwell is like a second horn and a drummer all at once. I think Ornette could deal with it, but that's because Ornette was/is both a responsive player as well as, again, the sort of player you have to meet on his own terms. Cherry + Blackwell worked well, too, but Don's approach was something else altogether (timbral/rhythmic versus Ornette's melodicism). Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) I agree with you there on Blackwell. I have been listening to Don's BNs a ton the past week, and it is somewhat incomprehensible (to my feeble mind, anyway) some of the shit he's playing on those dates. It goes above and beyond even "driving a band," to another level of musicianship entirely. Don can certainly empathise with it, to a level of "complete communion," though certainly his cohorts on the dates fare very well in this regard also. Symphony for Improvisers is particularly interesting, in how a large ensemble and Blackwell work together. I can't tap my fingers that fast! Edited February 19, 2007 by clifford_thornton Quote

No, from what I have read they were all married, or in the case of Bley and Swallow, at least in a stable long term relationship. Quote
