EKE BBB Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) What a company you got, Allen! Apart from being excellent and polyvalent musicians and thorough researchers, Kellso and Porter are a couple of wonderful human beings!

robertoart Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) This is very fine too. I even thought the music had definite 'crossover' potential until I heard the saxophone solo. Maybe you could edit it out That's some beautiful trumpet playing. Edited August 9, 2012 by freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I'm very happy with this whole thing, btw, and will post something soon with Kalaparusha on tenor. It's very difficult to write this much music; transcribe it for 9-10 musicians; drive 300 miles carrying three horns, a piano, 3 microphones, about 100 lead sheets, and a weeks's worth of clothing (this took 3 sessions); sleep on a floor; go into the studio; conduct the band; instruct the engineer; read the music; coordinate the 3-4 different combinations of players; and then try to play a creative solo. And we recorded 39 songs. not one musician was late, and, believe me, no one got paid very much, so I am thankful. but something tells me Esperanza Spalding doesn't have to go through all this.....

king ubu Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Wonderful, Allen! Ras Moshe! Love the groove on the second tune!

cih Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) or "Excavations in jazz" - 'the exposure, processing and recording of jazz remains' - maybe that sounds a bit fossilized Edited September 10, 2012 by cih Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 1) thanks for the title suggestions - leaning toward Renovations because we are "renovating" the tradition, and I like the Kenton reference; I also like "the past refuses to be over" which is a line by Philip Larkin; though I am also considering I Hate Maine. 2) on Brickyard Blues it's Randy Sandke on trumpet, Ken Peplowski on clarinet; they are on a few other cuts as well. Good friends, great musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
