AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) allright, long story short, I may be doing a project on '60s free jazz, sort of the ESP generation. can you name some of those people who are still around and reachable (well, still around, anyway)? off the top of my head, Ros Rudd, Paul Bley, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor....Carla Bley. Annette Peacock....Gary Peacock, Steve Swallow.....Henry Grimes......Giuseppi Logan...Shepp - give me a few, if you don't mind, because I have a major-sized headache this morning. I appreciate it..... Edited January 27, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote
Д.Д. Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Burton Greene Milford Graves John Tchicai Reggie Workman Alan Silva Sunny Murray Archie Shepp Anthony Braxton, perhaps Peter Broetzmann Fred Van Hove Gato Barbieri Carlos Ward a lot of people Quote
Joe Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Burton Greene, Sunny Murray, Milford Graves, Perry Robinson. Quote
Chicago Expat Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Pharaoh Sanders Gato Barbieri EDIT: Barbieri mentioned above. Edited January 27, 2011 by Chicago Expat Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) sort of on the cusp - though more and more I'm thinking that this thing should combine years, first and second generation of this whole school (adding, for example BAG) - Edited January 27, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote

Larry Kart Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 sort of on the cusp - though more and more I'm thinking that this thing should combine years, first and second generation of this whole school (adding, for example BAG) - In that case, Oliver Lake? Quote
six string Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 He was already mentioned and I don't know how interested he would be in talking about those things but John Tchicai is a sweet man and I've always found him to be very approachable. Quote
randyhersom Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Leo Smith Anthony Davis Oliver Lake Quote
Joe Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 What about Amiri Baraka (though approachability questions abound)? Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 theoretically yes, but probably not for this project (not trying to be evasive, but I don't think Baraka would work) - Quote
paul secor Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Buell Neidlinger Ran Blake Joseph Jarman Karl Berger Dollar Brand Marshall Allen Dave Baker Chuck Israels Joe Hunt Ronald Shannon Jackson Han Bennink Misha Mengelberg Ted Curson Giorgio Gaslini McCoy Tyner Bobby Capp Dave Burrell Grachan Moncur III Charles Brackeen Some of these musicians were on the cusp of "free jazz", but played on some important sessions.

Larry Kart Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 theoretically yes, but probably not for this project (not trying to be evasive, but I don't think Baraka would work) - So it's "My Yiddishe Free Jazz"? Quote
paul secor Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 It was depressing looking through my collection and realizing how many musicians who were young in the 1960's are no longer with us. Quote
B. Clugston Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Bob James. Well, he did do an ESP album. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 He disowned it. Jason Weiss is doing an oral history of ESP, so I hear. Brackeen is alive but has a lot of "problems," so he might not be easy to reach or talk to. He's in LA. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Europe & America: Muhammad Ali Barry Altschul Karl Berger Bobby Bradford Dave Burrell Joe Chambers Marty Cook (I think) Jerome Cooper Jacques Coursil Pierre Favre Bobby Few Alvin Fielder Rolf & Joachim Kuhn Marc Levin Bennie Maupin Barre Phillips Michel Portal Cleve Pozar Julian Priester Manfred Schoof Alex v. Schlippenbach Irene Schweizer Alan Skidmore John Surman Francois Tusques Bert Wilson Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 I didn't realize there were that many people left - next we'll do Confederate Widows. Quote
paul secor Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 A few more: Richard Davis Thurman Barker Tony Oxley Louis Moholo And I don't think that anyone's mentioned Charlie Haden. Quote
