silence in music

[alocispepraluger102]

feldman's silent moments, and bill evans', and paul bley's, i treasure, among others.

who, in the musics you treasure, creates the most gorgeous silent moments?

[Free For All]

Miles is the first one that comes to mind for me. He was one of the first players I heard who impressed me with what he didn't play.

[Chuck Nessa]

Gee, I was thinking Richie Cole.

[Free For All]

Also Lee Konitz.

[alocispepraluger102]

it's time to listen to some lee and richie, time to blow all this feldman shit away.

miles, god yes.

[Elissa]

Monk. You can tell is the funny thing - if you tune in to a radio show in the middle of two monk notes, that it's His. :wub:

Miles is the first one that comes to mind for me...

Me too. Followed immediately by Joe Henderson.

[BruceH]

Eno.

[Guest Bill Barton]

Bill Dixon too...

and Marion Brown.

Lester, here:

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Grant Green

(though sometimes I wonder whether he isn't just trying to think of the next line and whether he has enough technique to pull it off)

MG

[Alexander Hawkins]

Monk.

Bruckner.

[Alexander Hawkins]

Also - I guess it's a more explicit thing for solo recitals, in some ways: John Butcher and Roscoe Mitchell.

The rehersal of 'ROUND MIDNIGHT (40') in Monk's Riverside box set is a Symphony to Silence

Absolutely! Had this on only yesterday. Pretty astonishing sequence. I think I'm going to start asking my students to listen to this.

[Shawn]

Mal Waldron, I've always been impressed with his use of space during his solos.

[B. Clugston]

Anthony Braxton.

[DTMX]

John Cage.

[Guest Bill Barton]

...Gee, I was thinking Richie Cole.

I just noticed this...

And in the piano pantheon we could add Dorothy Donegan, Adam Makowicz and Bobby Enriquez...

[alocispepraluger102]

there's another great pantheon of silence in vegas. don menza never shuts up!

[user0815]

ahmad jamal

[BruceH]

Beethoven.

Lester Young.

Paul Desmond.

Talking Heads.

[doublebass]

Chet Baker, a master of silence, at least in his later years.

[fasstrack]

Bob Brookmeyer: always the essence of thought, space, reflectiveness in motion, and balance between notes played/inferred.

Just found and enjoyed this Mulligan quartet with BB from what looks like the set of Ralph J. Gleason's Jazz Casual. Hope you do too. (It's on Youtube, where people have been known to be swallowed alive.
