“Delusion of the Fury,” with re-creations of Harry Partch’s instruments. Credit Michelle V. Agins/The New York Times Review: ‘Delusion of the Fury,’ With New Partch Instruments By ANTHONY TOMMASINI JULY 24, 2015 "Unfortunately, “Delusion of the Fury,” the unclassifiable music-theater work from the late 1960s by the American maverick composer Harry Partch, was scheduled for just two performances on successive nights. The fantastical, daffy yet affecting production, created by the composer and director Heiner Goebbels for the Ruhrtriennale in Germany in 2013, opened on Thursday at New York City Center. Regardless of the financial and logistical restraints, I bet “Delusion of the Fury” could have drawn solid audiences for a week. At the end of the performance, the audience brought the impressive musicians of the Ensemble Musikfabrik, who doubled as actors and singers in this 75-minute work, back onstage several times during a rousing ovation." more here

I first heard this one a few months ago, I really like it. Magic. John Taylor - Rosslyn

Sad, unexpected news. I really liked his playing a lot. Take care John.

Sad, I enjoyed what I heard...the recent ECM, Motian albums, Hollow Out with Elvin Jones. RIP

Pre-1983* is great. Close to the Edge is a great place to start. *Trevor Rabin replaced Steve Howe in the band that year, it's all downhill after Drama (1980).

Sad news, take care David.

a sad postscript to an amazing life. .

Ornette and Derek Bailey would have been interesting, but probably didn't happen. .
