Lee Konitz Meets Warne Marsh Again (Pausa)

[jeffcrom]

All the cool kids are doing it:

Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D. (Arista Freedom). As everyone knows, amazing music. My Arista reissue is neither as cool as the Mbari original or (by all reports) as great-sounding as the new I.P. CD. But, hey - it took me a long time to find an afordable near-mint copy, and I'm kind of fond of it.

He certainly was. He brought four different editions of the Decoding Society into the Caravan of Dreams in the mid-1980s, and I was fortunate to hear 15 or 16 sets of these groups. And in all those sets, he only played one drum solo!
