P.L.M Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) Larry Ochs did a session a few years ago on Black Saint. I think it's called Saxophone and Drum Corps. It's saxophone (alto and c-melody I believe) with two drummers. It's very good! The exact title of the session is LARRY OCHS SAX & DRUMMING CORE (name of the band) THE NEON TRUTH (title of the record). LARRY OCHS plays tenor & sopranino saxes. The drummers are DONALD ROBINSON & SCOTT AMENDOLA. It's from 2002, on Black Saint, indeed. Edited April 3, 2004 by P.L.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.L.M Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 ... a favorite is Rollins and PJJ doing "Furry with the Syringe on Top"... Chuck is it a nice poetic way to formulate the title of this song or a split of tongue of some sort? (the title of this tune from the SONNY ROLLINS NEWK'S TIME is THE SURREY WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP.)

P.L.M Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) Some more recommandations. THE NEXTSPIRITMENTAL MUSICS OF SAXOPHONIST DAVID BOYKIN (DREAMTIME RECORDS) offers a serie of duets between the tenor saxophoniste from Chicago and BAKARI DAVIS on drums and percussion in the tradition of the GREAT BLACK MUSIC initiate by the AACM. If you like ARCHIE SHEPP, this one is for you. You can also try: SUZIE IBARRA/ ASSIF TSAHAR: HOME COOKING (HOPSCOTCH) HAMID DRAKE/ JOE McPHEE: EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION (A REAL STATEMENT OF FREEDOM) (OKKADISK) JOE McPHEE/ JOHNNY McLELLAN: GRAND MARQUIS (BOXHOLDER) (An absolute masterpiece!!!) RASHIED ALI/ LOUIE BELOGENIS: RINGS OF SATURN (KNITTING FACTORY) who is a direct "hommage" to COLTRANE by the disciple and a great but much underestimate coltranite. If you want to take the hard way, look for both of these: PAAL NILSSEN-LOVE/ MATS GUSTAFSSON: I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SNORE (SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND) IVO PERELMAN/ JAY ROSEN: THE HAMMER (LEO RECORDS) Edited April 3, 2004 by P.L.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.L.M Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) And, if you want to try one more record with a sax and two drummers beside OCHS & DRUMMING CORE, there's always KEN VANDERMARK'S SOUND IN ACTION: DESIGN IN TIME (DELMARK). It's one of the best records of VANDERMARK who confront here ROBERT BARRY (original drummer of SUN RA'S ARKESTRA) and TIM MULVENNA. 11 pieces split between originals and modern classics from ORNETTE COLEMAN, SUN RA, ALBERT AYLER, DON CHERRY, THELONIOUS MONK.

I only have one HatART disc, and, as so often, long time no listen ubu Yeah, BIRTH AND REBIRTH (on BLACK SAINT) is a magisterial record, as is the follow up on hat ART (long out of print). But the guy was asking for duets between tenor and drums. So I kept it that way. Edited April 3, 2004 by P.L.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 But the guy was asking for duets between tenor and drums. So I kept it that way. I believe the original request was just for saxophone/drums recommendations. Anyway: Max Roach/Archie Shepp: Force (Uniteledis) - France and (JVC) - Japan Frank Lowe/Phillip Wilson: Out of Nowhere (Ecstatic Peace) - one sided 12" EP And, I've just listened to two duets by Ed Blackwell and Charles Brackeen on Live from Soundscape - Hell's Kitchen (DIW) All three recommended. I guess that's probably taken for granted. I can't imagine that someone would list something they didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 FOR THE PEOPLE - Jerome Cooper/Oliver Lake. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I need to get those Shepp-Roach sets. I saw somewhere that Hat Hut collected both the Roach duo albums as a 4 LP box. Sweet... "Birth/Rebirth" is _great_. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
