Anything Good To Say About Andre Vida???

Recommended Posts

I don't know Andre too well at all, but did work with him in a large Braxton ensemble in Berlin last Autumn, and he seems like a fascinating guy...and a hell of a player. I really enjoy his work on the Braxton Tristano-school stuff...he also has some very extreme explorations of the saxophone. I feel like I've heard some amazing solo stuff, but can't quite place where/when just now! But anyway, as I say: IMHO he's fantastic throughout this: https://newbraxtonhouse.bandcamp.com/album/quintet-tristano-2014

Not listened to it in some time, remember it as a difficult, challenging listen which isn't a bad thing in this house but does require the right moment.  I need to revisit once my bust CD player is fixed.

Which Simmons are you listening to?
