ep1str0phy Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 On AMG: New Album(?) I'm not sure if this is legit (it's not on Harmolodic)... but hey, let's stay hopeful. This would be Ornette's first recording with a 2-bass acoustic band since, what, the Izenzon/Haden days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I doubt anybody could pull off an illegitimate "new" Ornette recording at this point... but who's the band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ep1str0phy Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) It is the two bass group! I only wish someone had recorded the LA concert from a couple of years back--Ornette was a little more plangent than usual, and the version of "Lonely Woman" (with Cohen, Falanga, and Charlie Haden on bass) was just heartbreaking). EDIT--Sound Grammar is an Ornette Coleman label. Looks like we really are getting a new record (it's about time).

gnhrtg Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I remember reading an interview where Ornette mentioned this forthcoming release, and he'd said early 2006, iirc, so shouldn't be a long time coming now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I saw this group play at the Newport Jazz Festival (was it two summers ago already?). They were fantastic. Everything I was hoping and then some, of course. It's Ornette. I've probably talked about this elsewhere. Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, Brian Blade played the set after Ornette's. Pretty amazing stuff. Similar mood actually. Ornette was wearing the best suit I've ever seen in person. It was a like a television test pattern. The music was just incredible.

sal Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah, I saw Ornette a couple of years ago too here in Chicago, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Can't wait for this new disc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I saw this group in late 2004 and it was amazingly good. This is going to be a cd to GET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave9199 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hey impossible, I saw that set also! I'd heard from someone else staying at the same place we were staying that a person infront of them said Ornette's music sounded like "mice scurrying across a floor". I agree because the image fits with the music which I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hamiet Bluiett's euphemism for Ornette and Don (and Bird and Dizzy) was "like two dogs barking." Whenever he heard "two dogs barking," it meant something good was happening in the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ornette will be in Tokyo in late March for the first time in many years. I really should try and get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Songer Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It is the two bass group! I only wish someone had recorded the LA concert from a couple of years back--Ornette was a little more plangent than usual, and the version of "Lonely Woman" (with Cohen, Falanga, and Charlie Haden on bass) was just heartbreaking). EDIT--Sound Grammar is an Ornette Coleman label. Looks like we really are getting a new record (it's about time). I was sitting in about the fifth row center at Disney Hall. It was an AMAZING concert. After so many years Ornette was STILL able to THRILL 1/3 of the audience, CONFUSE another third and UPSET the remaining third. I'll bet 300 people walked out!! --including the couple next to me who I overheard say something like "just a buch of damn noise." I was COMPLETELY enthralled from the first note. I would LOVE to hear this band on record!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:.impossible Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Same thing in Newport. A few minutes into the first tune and many people began to ramble around. I think Ornette followed a big band of all-stars, but I can't remember. Night and day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
