mjazzg Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Saw him a couple of times with ICP, great musician His first name is misspelt in the thread title, 'Tristan' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 RIP, sir Also saw him with ICP 4 times I believe. Great entertainer as well as a idiosyncratic improvisor of the best kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adh1907 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 RIP. Great player, first heard him on Charles Fox BBC radio jazz in Britain live sessions in the 70s and was then surprised that he turned up on a Pop Group b side snappily entitled ‘Amnesty International Report on British Army Torture of Irish Prisoners”. Actually I think Tristan lets rip on the A side, we are all prostitutes from about 2 minutes in. Would be interested to know how he fell in with this crowd, what a life. RIP.

Hoppy T. Frog Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) ICP's music is so important to me, saw him several times with them, including at the Vortex a week after Misha Mengelberg died, he and the ICP performed a Charles Ives song in tribute, Honsinger sang lead. The song was a tribute to Ives' deceased dog, but it was both poignant and funny and so so right for those tricksters. Edited August 6, 2023 by Hoppy T.

clifford_thornton Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Very sad news. Saw ICP Orchestra quite a few times, and saw Tristan with Cecil and as a solo performer also. He was a real original. Re: The Pop Group, Honsinger worked extensively with Steve Beresford in the '70s and I assume that would be the connection.
