Steve Reynolds Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 in order to plan in advance - once in a lifetime chance to see this incredible band in the small confines uop close and personal for a week's engagement. I be there a few nights, I am sure: 10/8 Tuesday 8 and 10 pm In Order to Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) 10/9 Wednesday 8 and 10 pm In Order To Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) 10/10 Thursday 8 and 10 pm In Order to Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) 10/11 Friday 8 and 10 pm In Order to Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) 10/12 Saturday 8 and 10 pm In Order to Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) 10/13 Sunday 8 and 10 pm In Order to Survive Rob Brown (alto sax) Lewis Barnes (trumpet) Cooper Moore (piano) Hamid Drake (drums) William Parker (bass) fwiw I saw this band this past June at Vision Festival and they were the highlight of the 3 full night I attended. Fresh episodic composition that night by William Parker which was a tribute to Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre. The whol eband was precise, free and inspired with Hamid Drake and Cooper-Moore playing on a level unknown to most mortals. To see and hear Hamid Drake in a place like The Stone with this band is not something I ever expected to be able to witness. O'Neal's Porch, baby Quote
CraigP Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Just don't rush the stage, Stevie Ray! I don't want to read about you in the paper. I need to break out the CDs again. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Posted February 7, 2013 The old quartet CD's are really great in retrospect - especially O'Neal's Porch. There are 2 or 3 tracks on that recording that really stand the test of time. The original IOTS band is nothing like this band as the drummer *isn't* Hamid Drake. This band is closer to the quartet as it is simply the quartet plus Cooper-Moore. IOTS at times had guys like Daniel Carter and the drummers were Rashid Bakr or Suzie Ibarra. The 2 CD set The Peach Orchard from maybe 1997 or 1998 was much discussed as it did have Cooper-Moore. However the last time I listened to it (around the time I saw the band in June), I found that it was NOTHING like what the band is doing today. The band is different because of one Hamid Drake - so the band is more groove based and has more of an engine than the band with Suzie from The Peach Orchard - and the long form composition they played that night was of a vibe not really found on that recording.
