AllenLowe Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) big crazy project with, among others: Frank Lacy, Nicole Glover, Kevin Ray, James Brandon Lewis, Randy Sandke, Brian Simontacchi, Lewis Porter, Lisa Parrott, Aaron Johnson, Paul Austerlitz, 2 sets, an examination of modernism and the single saxophone player. as I posted elsewhere:doing everything from a New Orleans-styled funeral march to some Ellington-esque ballads, not to mention a Dixieland one-step composed on the changes of Giant Steps (working title:Tiger Rage); a little piece of ragtime dedicated to Joseph Lamb; a piece of Southern Dixie whimsy celebrating the Monroe Incident, in which a group of African Americans from North Carolina took up armed resistance against the Klan; Portraits of Frank Melrose, Pee Wee Russell, and Boyce Brown; Florence Mills, Roswell Rudd, Tommy Ladnier, and Vachel Lindsay, plus a sequel to our March of the Vipers, which we recorded at the Knitting Factory with Julius Hemphill 25 years ago. Also: a Ring Shout; Dave Schildkraut Visits Coltrane, who Dedicates a Song To Him; In the Midst; Tar Roof Blues; Tea with Jaki; Pyorrhea Stomp (dedicated to King Oliver); and something I call Modal Stomp. Not all of this will make the cut for that night, but never again will I attempt to compose this much effin' music. I do intend to record all of this in 2018. I assume I will see each and every one of you there. First 21 members of Organissimmo to show up receive a complimentary sock. Edited December 16, 2017 by AllenLowe Quote
HutchFan Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a blast, Allen. Wish I could be there! I actually will be in NYC about ten days before that. But, alas, I'll be back here in ATL by the time 02/20 rolls around. Edited December 16, 2017 by HutchFan Quote
mjazzg Posted December 17, 2017 Report Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Bring it to Cafe Oto, here in London, and I'll be there in a shot. NYC is sadly a little more of a challenge. Hope it goes well, sounds fascinating It's that sock that I really want... Edited December 17, 2017 by mjazzg Quote
