B. Goren. Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) "Flying Toward The Sound" will be released next week. Geri Allen is one of my favorite contemporary pianists and I'm really exited. Edited March 3, 2010 by B. Goren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 According to this Amazon product description, it's a solo piano release. I'll probably wait for a couple reviews from here on the board, but I could be very interested in this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) According to this Amazon product description, it's a solo piano release. Yes. To the best of my knowledge, this is her first solo recording. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Edited March 3, 2010 by B. Goren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazaro Vega Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) This is the work she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for. It's dedicated to Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock. She'll be giving a public performance of it Monday night in Ann Arbor (I think I put something up under Live Shows and Festivals). Her solo "Live From Blue Lake" performance from the Spring of '08 was one of the great moments in radio history as far as our station is concerned. There are some solo things on her last Telarc recording, including "La Strada." The version she played of Bird's "Ah Leu Cha" in the spirit of Ornette Coleman during "Live From Blue Lake" is just dynamite. The first third of the piece is in the low register. Ask ALOC, he's probably heard it a dozen times. Here's the shizzle http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5339543&id=650686557 Edited March 8, 2010 by Lazaro Vega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bill Barton Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I haven't heard the whole CD yet but am mightily impressed with what I have heard. She's one of my faves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
