But the first half sounds like a humdinger with his Vietnam experience. And I think one can be both horrified at the way he was sent to Vietnam while also feeling as if anyone in the army should be able to read the room and not mess with Francis Scott Key or Sousa in his arrangements.

JSngry Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Should be is one thing, doing it anyway... no guts no glory, but at what price? Thank God he's lived to tell the tale. No guarantees in this life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 My copy’s out for delivery—really looking forward to it. I’ve been delving into the Mosaic Threadgill in anticipation and have the Black Saint and Soul note set out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Speaking of the Threadgill ephemera, I have recently come into possession of this important object: a compact disc of the Henry Threadgill Zooid - THIS BRINGS US TO Volume 1, with a handwritten note on the cover. The text is as follows: To FRANK Thanx's For Your Place I am assuming that Frank had provided a very important service for the person who gifted him this CD. Am I right to assume that the person who chose to remain anonymous is Henry Threadgill? Are there any HT handwriting experts in the group?

dicky Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tonight was a wonderful evening for Henry's book launch at Rizzoli Bookstore in NYC. Tim Berne, Bill Frisell, and Brandon Ross (who spoke affectionately about his time playing w/ Henry) were amongst those in attendance.

Looks like somebody barely literate scribbled (with noticeable difficulty) on whatever was lying around. Munched the digipak as well.

JSngry Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Began reading this and it's a real treat. Loving how the chapters are broken into a lot of small vignettes, always with a beginning, middle, and end. Makes for perfect spurt reading when necessary, as well as more sustained reading when possible. And the vignettes often end in such a way that leaves the bigger truths unsaid but not unheard.

JSngry Posted May 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 This is a great read so far. Henry's details of working first in a church and then with a travelling evangelist while all the while working with his composer curiosity.. it makes so much sense.

JSngry Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 About halfway through, Threadgill's just back from Viet Nam and picking back up on his composition studies. To 5his point, this is one of the better (and better written) ",jazz books" I've ever read. A compelling story compellingly told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
