Hardbopjazz Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I wish I knew about this. I would have gone to this. Man, they are getting old. Long live Sonny and Ornette! https://twitter.com/sonnyrollins/status/477851119159619585/photo/1 Edited June 21, 2014 by Hardbopjazz Quote
johnblitweiler Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 And then Ornette kissed Sonny. Fair do, as Samuel Beckett might say. Quote
JSngry Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 Yes! http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/14/arts/music/an-ornette-coleman-tribute-at-celebrate-brooklyn.html?_r=0 Apparently Savion Glover tapped some on "Ramblin'". I would have love to have seen/heard that, seriously. Let's talk about "you can't dance to it", HA! Quote
johnblitweiler Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 Glover clattered through 3 songs and drowned out Ornette and the others. After the first minute I was hoping for an ice storm. Quote
JSngry Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 How does a tap dancer drown out a band if not for some cluelessass sound engineering? Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 am I the only one who thinks that picture looks like a scene out of the new Harry Potter movie, in which the Wizard (Sonny) annoints the ageing supplicant? Quote
jazzbo Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 No, you're not the only one. When I first saw this thread title I saw "Sony" instead of "Sonny" and thought Sony had arranged to buy master tapes from Ornette. Just wishful thinking. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 I've changed the thread title. Quote
