  1. I know a writer that has started doing research in order to write a Andrew Hill biography.
  2. This past Saturday I caught this: Eternal Spirit: Vijay Iyer & Friends Celebrate The Music of Andrew Hill Harlem Stage Gatehouse New York, NY Vijay Iyer - piano, music director Nicole Mitchell - flute, alto flute Mark Shim - tenor saxophone Milena Casado - trumpet, flugelhorn Yuhan Su - vibraphone Devon Gates - bass Reginald Workman - bass Nasheet Waits - drums
  3. Since hearing a group led by Vijay Iyer playing Andrew Hill's music this past weekend, I have been in the mood to listen to Hill's music in my daily listening. Monday I started with the Black Fire sessions, then decided that I wanted to focus on the post Blue Note seventies recordings. Yesterday I listened to this one: This is the selection for today:
  4. I have heard her live and she is very impressive. Interestingly, the first time I heard her live was playing in an ensemble led by Allen Lowe.
  5. I purchased the digital version of this:
  6. I will be very interested in reading your impressions on those recordings. I have many of them in my collection. I might just listen to each as you share your work.
  7. I have been reading the book in small chunks for the past week or so. I got through all the interviews and I am not reading the pieces on the specific recordings. I am really enjoying the additional insight the book gives on Shipp generally, and specifically the RogueArt recordings. I have a few of the recordings in my collection and have already started pulling some of them out for listening.
  8. I have the ensembles prior release and have also heard some radio broadcasts from concerts. I have enjoyed what I heard in the past and based on that I will likely pick this up at some point.
  9. I watched all three episodes Friday night and enjoyed. It did not necessarily reveal much that I did not already know, but I appreciate how the story was told.
  10. This thread motivated me to pull out my copy of Senior Cookin' for my after work listening, which I am enjoying right now.
  11. It has been a while since I had one of my impulsive binges. Peer pressure resulted in me picking up 13 discs from Philadelphia Music and two Bernie McGann discs from another Discogs seller all for about $40: Bruce Barth, Ugonna Okegwo, Al Foster - Live At The Village Vanguard (CD, Album) (MAXJAZZ - MXJ 205) Bebop & Beyond Featuring Dizzy Gillespie - Plays Dizzy Gillespie (CD, Album) (Bluemoon - R2 79170) Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra - Even The Moon Is Dancing (CD, Album) (SteepleChase - SCCD-31208) Duke Ellington - Ellington At Newport 1956 (Complete) (2xCD, Album, Club, RM) (Legacy, Columbia - C2K 64932) Donal Fox, David Murray - Ugly Beauty (CD, Album) (Evidence (5) - ECD 22131-2) Ned Goold - March Of The Malcontents (CD, Album) (Smalls Records - SRCD-0019) Dexter Gordon - The Other Side Of Round Midnight (CD, Album) (Blue Note, Blue Note - CDP 7 46397 2, CDP-7-46397-2) Bernie McGann Quartet - Kindred Spirits (CD, Album) (Rufus Records (2) - RF049) Bernie McGann - Ugly Beauty (CD, Album) (Spiral Scratch (2) - 0010) Bernie McGann - Playground (CD, Album) (Terra Nova Records - TND-9018) Bernie McGann - McGann Mcgann (CD, Album) (Terra Nova Records - TND-9017) Neal Miner - The Evening Sound (CD, Album) (Smalls Records - SRCD-0017) The Modern Jazz Quartet - European Concert (CD, RE) (Label M - 495721) Oscar Peterson - Oscar Peterson's Finest Hour (CD, Comp) (Verve Records - 314 543 599-2) SaxEmble - SaxEmble (CD, Album) (Qwest Records - 9 46181-2)
  12. I ordered a couple days ago directly from RogueArt. Much looking forward to reading this. I wish I had ordered sooner so that I would have it in hand when traveling next week. I will be spending a lot of time in airports and on flights. Guess I will just have to read the Threadgill bio.
