Guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hmm, the listing for the Philly gig at http://www.arsnovaworkshop.com/ shows it on Friday, 11/25th. ← Yes, Alan (hi, Alan!), it seems the tour dates may have been juggled around some (and may be juggled some more still). I apologize if I'm in error, but at least at the moment, The Thing's record company's site, www.smalltownsupersound.com/livedates.php, shows the 24th for Philadelphia, 25th for Buffalo, and 26th for Syracuse, while Paal's site, www.paalnilssen-love.com/news.php, shows the 25th for Philadelphia, 26th for Buffalo, and 27th for Syracuse. Anyway, it's best to call the venues, and I'll try to do the same a.s.a.p. to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalupa Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 The record company's site has the wrong date. The Philly show is on the 25th. The 24th is Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the street address of Underlying Theme in Lexington is 11O South Upper. The mighty Joe just came home from playing seven concerts in six European countries in seven days. Some of these great musicians in their sixties and up have more strength and energy, not to mention imagination, than a schoolyard full of children.

Guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Joe's playing a couple of concerts this weekend in New York City, and Mark Sheldon got a wonderful photo of Joe playing his pocket trumpet with his tenor saxophone suspended from his neck strap in Indianapolis last November. I'll try to paste in the short treatment and photo from "Time Out New York" and hope they come through, but if not, at least you'll be able to see the text: << >>< <> <> <> <> <> > http://tinyurl.com/msr5a Time Out New York / Issue 550: April 13–19, 2006 Top live show Trio X: Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen Joe McPhee Fri 14, The Brecht Forum Sat 15, Inwood Hill Park Joe McPhee photo by Mark Sheldon, msheldonf32@earthlink.net [NOTE: Photo credit is not shown on the Web but is shown in the magazine] Marquee names and pro-caliber sound are the norm at high-profile alfresco venues such as SummerStage. But so are steep prices, claustrophobic conditions and ubiquitous corporate logos—factors that can offset the nice breeze. These distractions should be refreshingly absent at Joe McPhee’s free Inwood Hill Park concert, Saturday at 1:30pm. The event will be as much a nature hike as a performance: As McPhee improvises on various instruments (perhaps including a few saxes, pocket trumpet and valve trombone), he will chart a spontaneous path through the woods at the park’s summit, with the audience following along. This won’t be the first time the musician has incorporated natural ambience; during a studio session in the summer of ’96, McPhee and his duo partner, violinist David Prentice, decided to record some pieces outdoors among audible birds and insects. McPhee may be impulsive, but he’s a deeply grounded player. His improvisations often refer to jazz standards and spirituals; his singing sax tone and patient phrasing make him an ideal interpreter of such material. Though often reflective, he can also summon violence if the mood strikes. Bassist Dominic Duval and drummer Jay Rosen, his bandmates in Trio X, are flexible enough to adapt to any of McPhee’s whims and strong enough to assert their own. Unlike Saturday’s show, the players will most likely be stationary at the Brecht Forum, but you can still count on them covering plenty of ground. —Hank Shteamer (HankShteamer@hotmail.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Nice photo, Mark! (Thanks for the information, Margaret!) I wish the prices of new hatOLOGY discs weren't so prohibitive. That, and the only local retailer who would carry them has closed shop. Do you guys use jazzloft to purchase hat titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Anyone picked this one up yet? How is it? I'm slobbering to get it. I got this the first time around. Some nice moments, particularly "The Looking Glass," but overall I have never been overally excited about this one. Always nice to hear Clifford Thornton. If you are a fan of this period, go for it, but those new to McPhee should start elsewhere. Sound isn't great, but it's acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 B. Clugston — where does your avatar come from? Any way we can see an enlarged version? I think it's interesting that, this time around, Werner decided to put Clifford Thornton's name on the cover of the package. Poor Byron Morris — he was there too! I rather liked the original cover ... but I'm not going to complain ... the music's out again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather liked the original cover ... but I'm not going to complain ... the music's out again! The avatar is a bizarre cover of a French 45 single of Ayler's New Generation/Heart Love. You can find a big version here on this excellent Ayler site: http://www.ayler.org/albert/html/newgen.html. Speaking of covers, I'm with you on the original McPhee cover. With the exception of that brief phase of oddly cropped photos and split-sentenced type, I much prefer the look of the old hatArt 6000s. But if it's getting reissued, I can't complain...
