ep1str0phy Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Heard the news last night. Listening to Sunbound and Together Alone to remember and commemorate. I've been forced to consider mortality a lot these past few years, and a big lesson for me throughout all of this is that it's often hard to detect the size of one's fingerprint until or unless you look at the earth moved around it. I never had a chance to meet him, but JJ worked and/or befriended a large number of people who are very important to me--a fact that I had not considered until just today. His music has changed my life in many ways--not just the immediate stuff of transforming my listening habits or the broader shifts in understanding that the Art Ensemble induced in my cultural perspective, but also in the way of being a part of a world that has felt more real to me even as it has grown (physically) smaller.

Hot Ptah Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Very sad. A huge loss. One of the best performances I ever witnessed were the two sets of duets, Joseph Jarman and Don Moye, on Saturday afternoon of the 1979 Ann Arbor Jazz Festival.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 ive seen Don Moye solo and Roscoe Mitchell solo. I kind of got a twinkle of how monumental it must of been to see them all on stage together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 40 years ago I saw a "double bill" at the University of Wisconsin (Milwaukee) - Art Ensemble Of Chicago & Sun Ra Arkestra. What a night!!!

Justin V Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I actually own more albums by AEC members than I do by the group itself. I wish that Jarman had been documented more as a leader; Connecting Spirits and Calypso's Smile are challenging and deep without sacrificing warmth and accessibility. I am looking forward to hearing more of his work. Thank you for the music, Mr. Jarman, and rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
