Chuck Nessa Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Spent some time with him before and after a solo recital this week. Last time I spoke with him was 1966. Interesting man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm intrigued by this reference: "There’s only one record extant of those recordings, and there’s a bunch of stuff buried somewhere — tied up in escrow somewhere — in Queens." I'm wondering what this refers to, and what other recordings may be in that "bunch of stuff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Whatever the subject, there always "a bunch of stuff buried somewhere". Life is too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I had an "interesting" experience when I spoke with him after hearing him play a duo concert with Roswell Rudd about 20 years ago. I'll just say that he seemed to be somewhat lacking in social skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Burton is a friend, and I'm glad to see him and his music get recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 If I remember right, in the early 80´s Burton Green played a few gigs with some of the most important avantgardists from my homecountry Austria, people like Fritz Novotny (Reform Art Unit) on soprano sax, who had started his own taste of avantgarde as early as 1959, almost in the same time like Ornette and Don Cherry in the States....., and if I remember right they had invited Burton Green to play with them. Really interesting encounter, and Green doing a very important Fritz Novotny composition "Pannonian Flower" and if I remember right, as an encore they did Monk´s "Crepuscule with Nellie" . Fritz hadn´t played it before but sure knew the tune, I think I heard the tape ! There was quite much happening then in town....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
