BFrank Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 That was playing at the Big Ears Fest last month. I didn't get to see the film, but I saw HIM a couple of times: solo and with Jason Moran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I had the chance to speak with him 50 years ago when he was playing with Albert Ayler. He seemed like a quiet, gentle, open person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 A true rhythmoriginal. All my best wishes to him. There was a shorter docu broadcast on German/French arte tv years ago, but this one goes deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Pretty incredible footage here of 3 performances -w/ Parker & Gayle, 1991 -w/ Parker & Brotzmann, 1988 -w/ Trio In Dojo, 1988 Can anyone ID the 2 other musicians in the last trio?

clifford_thornton Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 you know, I saw a reunion show of Gayle/Parker/Graves at Vision when they honored Milford some years ago -- a bit less fire and brimstone than this, but still excellent. Glad ICA is doing such a service to the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Saw Brotzmann, Parker & Graves maybe 20 years ago and it was immense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 nice! saw PB and MG duo in Berlin, 2002 -- it was cool though Milford was having some health issues at the time and that put a slight damper on the proceedings.

I saw them at CBGB’s basement - I kept walking up to stand by the trio to get close. Maybe it was 2000 or 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Nah, they didn't mention it on YT either; Glover has played with Milford a ton but Brother Ah, not too much as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have found out after the 2018 Big Ears Festival. Glad I got to see him while he was still relatively healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
