Joe Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 On the Riti label, and reviewed today at DUSTED by Marc Medwin [link]. Anyone heard this? I'm more interested in the Davidson (if you have not yet heard the ESP Davidson trio... get to listening) than the Morris angle (I admire the guitarist's work, but find it a bit dry), and am especially curious to know if any of the scores themselves are reproduced in / with the CD packaging. Thanks in advance. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 That thread title made me think that you were touting lysergics as the most valuable of all of the controlled substances. Obviously, not the case. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 It's one of the best new recordings I've heard this year so far. Really excellent. Don't necessarily think about it from the Lowell angle - at least not entirely. AAJ Review Quote

Obviously, not the case. 20 years ago I might have been willing to make that claim. But that's another thread altogether... Quote

Don't necessarily think about it from the Lowell angle - at least not entirely. AAJ Review Clifford -- thanks for the heads-up. Do you have any skinny on the documentation that accompanies the CD? In a case like this, I'm rally hoping for excellent supplementary material / notes? Why might I have been under the impression that, a couple (several?) years ago Morris "gave up" guitar and started concentrating on bass? Is there something to this? In any event, checked out the sample tracks and I'm even more intrigued than before. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 There is a small score excerpt printed on the disc itself and reminiscences by the musicians themselves. The Calibre reissue of the Lowell Davidson Trio has some really great notes by Morris on their work together. I think that - perhaps - we will see/hear fruits of that collaboration in the future. Morris is playing a lot of bass, yeah, but he still does a lot of mean guitar playing. Do you have the duos with Braxton? Stunning stuff - all-time greatness. Quote
Joe Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Much grass. Perhaps its time for me to do a little reassessing as far as Morris output goes. I recall most liking his collaborations with Mat Maneri... Quote
