JSngry Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I don't pay attention unless, and this guy is getting it on this Sonny Simmons record I'm listening to now. So, is he a nice guy? Or parallel importance, are there other records where he will likewise as on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Never heard of him. Believe you that he's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I have this https://www.discogs.com/Andr%C3%A9-Vida-Brud-Volumes-I-III-1995-2011/release/3307766 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? Edited July 2, 2020 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
