ornette Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 "In C" played by African musicians. Soon release http://www.africaexpress.co.uk/2014/11/interactive-video-africa-express-presents-terry-rileys-in-c-mali/ Now here's a group coxing a real groove out of that piece, at last - perhaps that's what he had in mind? European classical musicians always give rather stiff and unsensual renditions. Out on 'mastered for' iTunes now. LP release in January. No cd that I can see. Sounds pretty good played via a B&W T7.

ornette Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) amazing version of In C, exceeded my expectations, 'Africa Express Presents... Terry Riley's In C Mali' (video) I've listened to this a few times now and love the first 20 minutes or so. But I think that the subsequent 'pulseless' vocal section is misconceived and when the pulse returns it is indistinct resulting in the sound becoming more generic African jam, less Terry Riley.
