ghost of miles Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Much love! Will be featuring some live recordings of his compositions with Blakey, Miles, Weather Report, and his own quartet on my afternoon show today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 One of my favourites of course. The first LP I had was "Schizofrenia". I love all other BN also very much, but this one was the first. The last time I saw him live must have been around 2004, 2005 or about that time. He still looked much younger than past 70, he could have been 50. The rare event was also that before the concert startet (at Vienna Concert House) Joe Zawinul came on stage and announced Wayne..... Wayne was great, but the kind of music they played was much more difficult than all those "All Seeing Eye", "Ju Ju" and how they are. It was somehow avoiding rhythm, it was more free, but not in the aggresive way free players used to play, somehow other stuff, maybe a bit like the kind of ECM. Only at one point he quoted a little from a composition I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
