GA Russell Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Watch the music video of Billy's tune Cannonball, featuring the band and many musicians and friends you may know. This whimsical video was produced, directed and edited by Roberta and Billy. Billy Mintz Quintet: Ugly Beautiful CD Release Date March 7th Get your CD or download now! Long-awaited double CD of Billy's Compositions "2 hours of inside/outside goodness from one of NYC's best bands." -Hank Shteamer “I like to let the music unfold in the moment,” venerated drummer, composer and bandleader Billy Mintz said recently. “For me, it’s about a feeling.” Nowhere is Mintz’s zen-like reverence for the moment more apparent than on his extraordinary new 2-CD set, Ugly Beautiful. Recorded on a December day in 2015 in one room with no headphones (“when you record that way you can hear the instruments naturally”), it documents his quintet playing his eclectic reserve of original compositions.

GA Russell Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 This reminds me of early free jazz. I enjoy it on Saturdays, but not when I want to relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Very much looking forward to getting this Very VERY much look forward to hearing Billy in a different quartet with Tony Malaby on 4/15. Will be joined by William Parker on bass & Leo Genovese on piano. Mintz is a brilliant subtle drummer who has a great feel and touch for the sound and the vibe of the band.
