colinmce Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Videographer Don Mount has posted videos of the majority of Tyshawn Sorey's recent Stone residence on YouTube (it also goes without saying he has dozens and dozens of other performances online...a key resource, especially for us far-flung fans). Here is a link to his duo with Marilynn Crispell. Along the side you will see the trio with Crispell & Helias, Fieldwork ,Paradoxical Frog, the Button Trio, Burrell/Grimes, and duos with Jen Shyu and Fay Victor. I think the only performances from the week not online are the trio with Todd Neufeld & Thomas Morgan, and a duo with Matt Mitchell (pity!)

mjazzg Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks from a very far flung fan of Sorey. I'll enjoy these.I agree it's a shame the Todd Neufeld & Thomas Morgan trio isn't there but mustn't grumble too much considering the riches that are there Edited August 18, 2014 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 You will if you search that Kevin Reilly also has videos of many NYC shows on you tube. I almost went to the night with Crispell and Helias/Crispell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've enjoyed his videos as well. I listen to a set each night while I do closing paperwork at work. Very grateful for these folks to present these full sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niels Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yes, this is some very nice footage and it definately got me interested in the playing of Tyshawn Sorey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I listened to the Fieldwork set the other night, which was very strong. The music is kind of dry and technical, but I don't mind that. Sometimes, the great players make it look easy, but other times I can't imagine how they manage to do what they do. There were parts of that performance where the rhythm was so fragmented that it's incredible the three of them kept it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be so fortunate to see him next month in three different bands. Two with Evan Parker and one with a trio with Kris Davis and Mat Maneri. Should make up for missing his Stone residency.

Steve Reynolds Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I listened/watched the trio with Helias and Crispell as well as Paradoxical Frog with Kris Davis and Ingrid Laubrock. The former was very fine as expected but the latter is just beyond sublime. The patience and tension they build is almost disconcerting but the end result is magical. I think this trio is a apt example of this generation's finest improvisors applying some compositional elements to abstract focused improvising with a wide variety of dynamics. Has me salivating to see Davis, Sorey and Maneri on September 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
