mjazzg Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I think Sticks and Stones still stand up well. Otherwise, 'Chicago Project' and 'Live In London' (I was at the gig) give a good view of her playing. 'Always' is a solo disc so there's pure sax on that Now you mention it I'm struck by how few sidewoman recordings there are. Perhaps the best I saw her play was a duet with Seb Rochford at Oto. Shame they've never released it. Coin Coin is right up there in important recording projects/series for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also seen her play in a supporting role at Oto, with Brotzmann last year. It was a great gig, and I was struck by the way that she played during his solos, laying down some counterpoint and harmonic support, which really added something to his ferocious playing. I will give those two that you mention a go, as well as the solo disc - I love a good solo alto recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Sticks and Stones eponymous release on 482 Music is excellent. The one on Thrill Jockey ("Shed Grace") is not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
