Late Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow...didn't know he went to North Texas State University. That's where I went.... Me too — and I think it was actually called North Texas State Teacher's College when Giuffre was there. My first year there (I was only there two years) was the year it became the "University of North Texas." Before that it was more famously North Texas State University. Julius Hemphill went to North Texas, and Rudresh Mahanthappa spent two years there (we were in the same dorm) before transferring to Berklee. EKE BBB — that CD with Barre Phillips and Don Friedman is nice. Guy (brownie) gifted me that disc! Giuffre's spirit will live on through his music without question. I like that he was probably the only saxophonist to use a clarinetist's embouchre when playing the tenor and baritone — hence his somewhat unusual handle on those horns. A true original.

A Lark Ascending Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Sad to hear this - I've been away at the weekend. Heard about Humph but not JG. I've been listening to quite a bit of his music in the last couple of months. In some ways a bit of a pioneer for the approach to jazz that is covered by labels like ECM or ACT. I saw him once in an upstairs pub room with basist Ron Mathewson - a memorable gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Bird was a "windy loudmouth"??? Yes, Jimmy's style was very different from Bird's, but there's no need for such sour grapes. Ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BB) Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 It's hard for me to put into words how much this man's music has meant and will continue to mean to me. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I know I should be able to figure it out myself, but is there sheet music for "The Train & the River" available? And RIP Mr Giuffre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
