johnlitweiler Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Leonard Jones, photographer? Can he possibly be the same Leonard Jones who played bass with Kalaparusha, Muhal, and others? Kalaparush has always been a beautifully soulful musician and he's brought a lot of joy into the world. His solo in Roscoe Mitchell's "Sound" is a perfect, very early statement of sound and space in tension; then there were his more lyrical work in the late '60s and, by contrast, his intense, violent music in Chicago in the mid-'79s. Since then, from his few records and his very rare returns to Chicago, he's again a lyric artist. Subtle, too - his is not jazz for dummies. Too bad there aren't more opportunities to hear him. He's a bit shy about playing with his peers. Aloc, thanks much for posting this video. Kalaparush has been urging people to see it. There's also a good interview with him in George Lewis's "A Power Stronger Than Itself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Kalaparusha is supposed to record with us on our next session - though at this point I'm not sure if we can bring it off. Will let you know. He still plays beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
