The New York Times has praised Sorey for his instrumental facility and aplomb, “he plays not only with gale-force physicality, but also a sense of scale and equipoise”; The Wall Street Journal notes Sorey is, “a composer of radical and seemingly boundless ideas.” The New Yorker recently noted that Sorey is “among the most formidable denizens of the in-between zone…An extraordinary talent who can see across the entire musical landscape.” Sorey has released seven critically acclaimed recordings that feature his work as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and conceptualist. His latest, Pillars (Firehouse 12 Records, 2018), has been praised by Rolling Stone as “an immersive soundworld… sprawling, mysterious… thrilling” and has been named as one of BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction 2018 albums of the year. He will be accompanied by Sasha Berliner (Vibes), Morgan Guerin (Saxophone, EWI), Lex Korten (Piano), & Nick Dunston (Bass). Edited October 24, 2019 by kh1958 Quote
JSngry Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Interesting...this is the same space in which Sam Rivers played. correct? Gonna try to make this one, Sorey's music is slowly but surely working its way on me. Hearing it live should be a treat. although, Sorey's latest is his excellent duet album w/Marilyn Crispell...he should update his press kit! Quote
kh1958 Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I don't know; I'm not familiar with this performance space. I've seen him a few times as a sideman--with Vijay Iyer, with Roscoe Mitchell and with George Lewis. Excellent percussionist. I would like to attend, but Monday in Denton at 7:30 might be tough. Edited October 24, 2019 by kh1958 Quote
JSngry Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Yeah, day/time/travel...not necessarily the friendliest combination. The Lyceum used to be a nice, small auditorium in the Student Union building. Besides, Sam Rivers, that's also where the AEC played. But I have no idea what's what there now, there's been a lot of remodeling/etc. The last two times I went to Denton for a concert, they were in some standalone concert hall building (is it called Meyerson?), and the time before that, somewhere in Lab Band Hall, I think. Not surprisingly, this concert is NOT being sponsored by anything related to the Lab Band or School Of Music (neither was the AEC gig, that was sponsored by the Black Student Union). It's part of the UNT Fine Arts series, and it looks like they are presenting quite the array of contemporary performers/presenters: https://studentaffairs.unt.edu/fine-arts-series Quote
kh1958 Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Winspear (same name as the Dallas Arts District Opera House) is the standalone concert hall at UNT, just off I-35, that I've been to a couple of times. The One O'clock Lab Band is not my cup of tea. Honestly, I can't stand the band. I didn't see (or know about that I recall) Sam Rivers or the AEC playing in Denton. More missed opportunities and regrets! But I did see the AEC at the Caravan of Dreams; plus the Sam Rivers Trio at Sweet Basil, and Sam Rivers a couple of times with Dizzy, so I'm going to be okay.

The only reason I've been to hear the 1:00 play is because of guests (Billy Harper + The Cookers, which was excellent, and then Jimmy Heath, which was kinda sad). The there was the afternoon concert where Ryan Truesdell was the guest and they just played Gil Evans charts. That's one thing that band can do well, play charts. And those charts are worth hearing live, no matter who plays them. Plus they had a tuba player recruited just for that gig who was outstanding. He made me think of Harry Carney, actually, so anchoring was he. Quote

Word is that the quintet is playing more burning jazz based stuff than one might hear from the Pillars group or his small groups with Cory Smythe. When the man is focused on drums in a jazz based or freeish ensemble he is just about the most powerful drummer on the planet today. This is coming from someone who sees dudes like Ches Smith (last night), Randy Peterson (2 weeks ago), Nasheet Waits (too long now), Gerald Cleaver, etc. Tyshawn Sorey might be the most unique and explosively innovative of all of them. Well he isn’t Randy Peterson but nobody is:) Quote
JSngry Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 I am going to make a good effort to get up there for this. But travel to Denton from here to get there by downbeat means leaving anywhere from 90 minutes up lead time. Perpetual construction, perpetual traffic stoppages. Not a fun trip... And even what used to be the "back way" is a mess now. This area continues to expand northward, and traffic is easily outpacing expansion of roadways. Still, I really do want to hear him and this band. so...we'll see. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Posted October 24, 2019 Yes, probably have to head that direction starting at least at 6. So maybe. Quote

Still, I really do want to hear him and this band. so...we'll see. My trip to NYC is short mileage wise but it’s usually 75 minutes minimum. Brooklyn can be 90 minutes easy on a rainy day/night. Last night I left work early at 4:30 and was parked by 5:45. Then I relaxed until the set. Free parking when you get there early in Manhattan. Only 1 set at The Stone for I think about 3 years but I choose wisely as the music needs to be worth the drive/time, etc. It’s also a good time to listen to more music. Last night was a very good decision. Jazz Gallery has 2 sets but most of the venues that host the music I prefer are 1 set events these days so again I try to choose wisely. Word has it that when Tyshawn player the Jazz Gallery, with what I believe is the band he’s touring with, they played a 2 hour continuous set. Big buzz about that show. I sure wish I chose that night. Plus it was sold out and packed solid. Quote

I'm no longer able of being the Sleepless Warrior I used to be. However, I think I'm going to be able to make Big Ears in 2020, so hoping to get my mojo back by then.

Often it’s the same thing here. For the late shows - especially now that I’ve been going to Dead related things - (Phil Lesh’s Groups, Dark Star Orchestra & JRAD), those shows start ~ 8:30 or even 9:00 and the 2 full sets can go to 12:30 or so. My wife and I saw JRAD (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead) @ Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia on Friday September 27th. 3 hour drive from Wayne, NJ with traffic. We got there by 7:45 or so. Show started at 9:05 and with the encore ended close to 1:15. At least no traffic going home. Home @ 3:30 A.M. YES - I took that Friday off and had a nice 2 hour nap to prepare for the drive and the show. And yes for that night I chose wisely. Second set was incredible for what they were doing. Russo is just about the best rock drummer I’ve ever seen. But NO he is not quite Tyshawn Sorey and he is NOT Randy Peterson. Edited October 24, 2019 by Steve Reynolds Quote

She was named 2016 Musical America Instrumentalist of the Year, won top prizes at the Tchaikovsky Competition and Concert Artist Guild Competition, and received an Avery Fisher Career Grant. She has expanded the contemporary violin repertoire through a wide range of commissioning projects and has premiered more than 70 works written especially for her. In spring 2018, she launched Limitless, a project celebrating the collaborative relationship between composer and performer; duo commissions are played by Koh and the composers themselves. Her partner for this special Cliburn debut is leading-edge composer-pianist Vijay Iyer, whose 22 remarkably diverse recordings have earned him top-album accolades from the likes of The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone, and NPR; ECHO Klassik Awards; and a Grammy nomination, among other honors.
