Steve Reynolds Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Just sticking to saxophone for now: Michael Moore’s alto solo from “Toombow” from Gerry Hemingway’s “The Marmalade King” on Hat ART records Fred Anderson’s tenor solo from Disc 2 of “2 Days in April” on Eremite Records listen to the whole 2 CD set and if you don’t hear it you didn’t listen (recorded live 4/1 & 4/2/99) with Kidd Jordan, William Parker & Hamid Drake Jemeel Moondoc’s alto solo on “Mota” from Denis Charles’ “Captain of the Deep” - also on Eremite records David S Ware’s tenor solo on “Aquarian Sound” from Live in the World on AUM Fidelity. With his quartet with Matthew Shipp, William Parker & Susie Ibarra. Records in 1998, I think. Maybe 11 or 12 minutes or more and gets to places not possible. Paul Dunmall’s tenor solo on the opening title track of “Birdman” by Mujician on Cunieform Records. With Keith Tippett, Paul Rogers & Tony Levin. Recorded 1994 or so. Long piece but listen closely 10 through maybe 18 minutes in. Absolutely burning all-time tenor saxophone playing Tony Malaby’s tenor solo on the last track “Many Knows” from the Open Loose recording “Atomic Clock” - recorded 2006. Open Loose is Mark Helias, Malaby & Tom Rainey. Steve Potts’ alto on Steve Lacy’s “Wickets” from Morning Joy from 1986 - on Hat ART records Joe Maneri’s very short alto solo called “Joe’s Alto” from “Coming Down the Mountain” on hatology - recorded in 1993. As one person noted that in under 2:00, Joe Maneri played more saxophone than some played in a lifetime. I certainly agree.

I'm sorry Steve but I don't. I know your love of all things Maneri but my investigation of his music twenty odd years ago didn't go far. I have 3 Men Walking and that's it. Also now realised I have the Ware in your list. I think the Hats are on Spotify so I'll go again with more mature ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Hats are on Spotify so I'll go again with more mature ears As I know a bit of what you love in music, giving up after Three Men Walking might be doing yourself a great disservice. Dahabenzapple is calling your name. Plus there are so many great off the beaten path recordings of Mat with others over the past years since Joe passed (or before) that are among the finest that modern improvised music has to offer. 51 Sorrows with Ed Schuller & Randy Peterson on Leo Records is a great one. Might be as old as 2002 or so. The one recording of Mat with Randy is stunning / called Light Trigger and it’s easily available I think. Fierce and if you call anything either of them play solos, they are all essential. Certainly Mat has improvised some incredibly creative tension and release passages. To my ears and experience of seeing live music, he’s left me speechless over the years more than anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
