... if there is one? I've owned a CD of Joseph Jarman's "Song For" for many years now, it took me a while to "get" it ... I'm still rather the Roscoe Mitchell type when it comes to the AEC, but Jarman is growing more and more ... and "Song For" has been considered a favorite for quite a while now, a marvellous album, as I'm sure most folks here know! Anyway, there's a wonderful piano player on it by name of Christopher Gaddy. He seems to be virtually unknown, J.B. Figi doesn't say much about him in his liner notes ("Pianist Christopher Gaddy has constellations at his fingertips. He also plays miscellaneous percussion on this album." - that's it, whatever the first phrase is supposed to mean .... that he's got many abilities as a piano player maybe?). A quick google search of what's been said about him on this board doesn't bring up more than a few mentions when there were discussion of artists with the smallest recorded legacy, artists you wish had recorded more, or similar threads. So, what's the story of Christopher Gaddy? Larry, Chuck, anyone? A search for Charles Clark, the just-as-wonderful bass player on "Song For" brought this post to light that I didn't find in my previous searches: (click on the snapback icon in the quote to be lead to the original thread - this one:)
