clifford_thornton Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Have heard Borca in non-Lyons contexts and she carries her own just fine. There's a non-commercially-released thing with Irène Schweizer, Parker and Cyrille that is particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah, she can play. If it's just that it's bassoon that turns some people off, fine, I guess (seems silly to me, but different stokes, etc), but if there's any feelings that she can't play, that's just wrong. Same thing with Irene Aebi, really, her voice has just not been for me (although, again, starting to grow on me), but she's got the skills. As for the wife thing, this kind of music really doesn't generally lend itself to the Paul & Linda type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well - she was his student before she was his wife - talking re: Jimmy & Karen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I received the box, have listened to all of the Borca material on it, and I like her playing (and her instrument). The box in whole is pretty great, as others had noted. I still have the 1975 loft trio set on the box left to listen to for the first time.

Д.Д. Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) In the absence of general Lyons thread in Artists (shame on this board), posting this here. Been listening to Lyons / Cyrille duo "Burnt Offering" and there is some strange stuff going on the first 1.5 minutes of the music. It sounds like somebody (Cyrille, I guess) is playing a saxophone mouthpiece or some whistle together with Lyons. Very annoying. Could anyone venture a guess what is that being played? And by whom? I don't remember Cyrille playing whistles or other shit like that (Bennink - yes, Sommer - yes, but Cyrille?) on any other records of his I heard. Edited May 26, 2021 by Д.Д.

Pim Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 It’s definitely not a saxophone mouthpiece (I played sax myself) but I don’t know what it is. I do think it is Cyrille who is making the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 The 3 Black Saint albums with Cyrille I like a lot; am less crazy about the two Black Saints w/Borca I should check out the Hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
