New Konitz book
Lazaro Vega replied to Larry Kart's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Thanks Dave and Larry. Faulty narratives in American life are American life. As Jim Harrison said at a reading last night when we die all that's left are the stories. Looking forward to Chapter 6 now after Hamilton's remark on page 22, "[Konitz] has no interest in persuing what he regards as Parker's 'compositional' approach of developing a vocabulary of motifs -- a difficult issue discussed in Chapter 6 -- and though he recognizes Parker as a genius, he is also in some ways ambivalent about his music." -
Luciana Souza channels Joni on her own cd "The New Bossa Nova" where Chris Potter plays wildly different obligato. What of Joni's appearances on "Gershwin's World"? Hancock's been doing the new standards approach for a while at Verve. Malachi Thompson jested, He stole my idea!

Question: Chapter 2, foot note 3 relating to a made up jazz narrative and inaccurate "journalistic transcription" as relates to "The Charlie Parker 'Chili House' anecdote? Sighting Woideck, 'Charlie Parker,' pages 16-17. Not having that book what is wrong in the original story of Bird and Biddy Fleet (that's the Chili House anecdote?). Listening to Konitz "Lover Man" with Kenton. -

Time Out New York / Issue 624 : September 13, 2007 - September 19, 2007 Album reviews Muhal Richard Abrams Vision Towards Essence (Pi Recordings) Upon its 1965 founding, Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians hit the ground running. If the genius quotient among the avant-jazz collective’s early membership (Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell et al.) was unusually high, the AACM’s flowering still owed much to the eagerness of local labels like Delmark to release its work. The group has long since dispersed across the country, but Pi Recordings has undertaken the admirable task of reuniting these far-flung talents under one roof. In many ways, Vision Towards Essence is the crowning jewel of this campaign. Since 2001, the Brooklyn label has issued new discs by leading AACM ambassadors such as Henry Threadgill and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. This release, though, mines the very heart of the organization, offering a lengthy solo statement from its founder, Muhal Richard Abrams. The now New York–based pianist, who turns 77 on Wednesday 19, has always been better known for his mentorship than for his music, a fact that seems ever crazier as this sumptuous, frequently dazzling 1998 live set progresses. Largely forgoing thematic signposts, Abrams presents a continuous stream of ideas, but unlike his contemporary Cecil Taylor—another pianist who favors marathon solos—he rarely sounds frantic. The disc luxuriates in moods: mysterious, even creepy wisps of high notes; seemingly double-brained passages of playfully turbulent counterpoint; splashes of sassy stride. Vision Towards Essence sounds like a definitive statement, not only of Abrams’s improvisatory brilliance, but of the continued vitality of his Windy City–bred clan. — Hank Shteamer

There's a record of Jarman's I bought right as he was coming out of his break from music, and it is a community disc, really, and full of the spirit of discovery as well as beginner's playing. Brave of him to do that -- teach, sure, but document it for what it is without apology. Has anyone heard "Equal Interest" with Jarman, Leroy Jenkins and Myra Melford? Jarman's been difficult for me to get a handle on, too, as he's a kind of trickster: a gifted melodicist, a flame thrower; a gentle spirit, a committed fighter.

I remember reading Rafi Zabor in The Wire all the time. Still hit Signal to Noise for feature interviews with Cecil Taylor, Louis Smith, and with this upcoming concert by Abrams/Mitchell/Lewis in Ann Arbor, Howard Mandel's cover story from StN was primary source material in preparing to speak to Abrams. Yes, a sharp, no nonsense editor; yet oft times editorial professionalism is what excizes the most specific musical content. Would like to read the un-handled Terry Martin in StN, as opposed to his curtailing by professional editors who don't think the audience can hang with detailed, long form criticism, or dig the detailed material he'd use to support his opinion. So much of jazz magazinedom is slickly laid out vertical, horizontal and three dimentional marketing intended for sole commercial use of the play by play chorus cast that a little student flubbery on occasion is tolerable. Pulling back to what's been learned in the trenches is often occluded by the rise of the fox hole walls. Down and down I go, round and round I go, in a spin, look at that spin I'm in....

Ratliff's "Coltrane"
Lazaro Vega replied to Larry Kart's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Thanks for the link to the review. It has been ages, it seems, since Muhal issued two records in the same year. Yet for a time he was well documented and it seemed his new recordings were a regular reminder of his part in the mix. That seemed to slow down in the mid-1990's or thereabouts until now. He's been performing that entire time, and no doubt composing. -
Ratliff's "Coltrane"
Lazaro Vega replied to Larry Kart's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Muhal told me, "I don't do interviews." He made an exception to promote the concert, though. He's basically a "let the music speak for itself" musician. At this point in time, too, he's only allowing me to use the interview we did for radio broadcast to promote the Ann Arbor concert, not for transcription and wider dissemination. As far as a f the media point of view he's just not like that. In fact, Muhal is one of the most diplomatic musicians I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. He welcomes a multiplicity of reactions to his work and views them all, because of his strong belief in the validity of the individual, with an "I'm O.K., you're O.K." attitude. And he challenged just about everything I said, or the basis underlying the questions. Hard conversation in the moment, but now editing it into 9 individual segments (we spoke for an hour) this is just rich in his ideas. "Outside of expectations" is a way of life as well as a way of music. If you can, please tune in. -
Ratliff's "Coltrane"
Lazaro Vega replied to Larry Kart's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
That's a distinctive interpretation. Mistakes make comprehending the larger point of the work more difficult and chip away the statue of credibility until things are mishapen beyond recognition. Larry Ochs has a considered opinion on late Trane, and when he wants to can channel the spirit of Archie Shepp in the 1960's. He's the only other artist besides Coltrane to tackle "Ascension," twice, and this second time showing were the legacy of late Trane is in this decade. "Eletrik Ascension" is a not a what if, it is a what is. Ochs is a Californian -- maybe this is why he was overlooked. That's not to say Ratliff's inclusive lists in the second half of the book aren't helpful, or the letters between Don Ellis and Charles Moore aren't worth quoting, or drawing attention to Frank Lowe's early playing experience isn't worthwhile. That was all enlightening to me. It just seems there's more to the story in the music of today as relates to Coltrane in a less imitative but no less serious or appreciative influence. I wondered how the author could say the music of the AACM is "everyday." Who's day is that? What he meant, he explained, was more towards Henry Threadgill's Hubcaphone, or Braxton's Garbage Can Machine, a sort of everyday objects amid the little instruments. The little instruments allusion often isn't enough. What were they used for in the wake of Coltrane? That they opened the forms up, gave the music the widest possible dynamic range and continued widening paths Yusef Lateef and Don Cherry saw as workable in jazz -- Afro-EurAsian eclipse in free form is a tangent, but at least it is musical one related in reaction to the same time period. Muhal Richard Abrams response to the question of whether the music of Ornette, Ayler, Coltrane, Taylor made possible some of the music developments he undertook in the early 1960's I hope makes for good radio. It is insightful as narratives held so dear are not often a significant thread in a musician's story we thought we knew. Next Sunday. With two albums out this year he's only given interviews to Signal To Noise, Downbeat, and All About Jazz New York. He agreed to the Blue Lake phone interview because it will support the Edge Fest Concert on Oct. 20th.
