ghost of miles Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Somehow this slipped under my radar, but I'm going to take a loooooong dinner break from work to attend--it's right next door, practically. Yes, the Bunky Green, legendary saxophonist who's been quite an influence on Steve Coleman and Greg Osby, giving a free concert tonight at the IU Auditorium with David Baker on cello and Luke Gillespie on piano, among others. Hah-chah! And Fred Hersch is giving a free concert here on campus tomorrow night (met him yesterday, very nice guy); don't know if I'll be able to break away from the job for that one, though. Quote
sheldonm Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Ghost, Man, that's great, I saw Bunky a while back; very good show! Mark Quote
Clunky Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I am green with envy, really been enjoying a couple of his dates a lot lately. Pity he's not recorded more often. Quote
DTMX Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 I didn't know there was a Bunky Green/David Baker connection. I've been listening to Bunky Green's Healing the Pain in the car back and forth to work for the past week, and Baker's Cellofire has been in rotation at the office during the same time. What a coincidence - off to buy lottery tickets. Quote
Big Wheel Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 It is probably an IAJE connection. Green is (or was, anyway) pretty high up in the Florida IAJE leadership. Quote
DTMX Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 It is probably an IAJE connection. Green is (or was, anyway) pretty high up in the Florida IAJE leadership. That's gotta be it - BG is an IAJE official and DB is professor of composition somewhere. I wonder if the cello is replacing the bass like the way Julius Hemphill used Abdul Wadud's cello to anchor his duos, trios and quartets? Quote

I wish I had read this post yesterday. Well, I am not sure I could have made the show even if I knew. Hope you enjoyed this show, ghost. Quote
rachel Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) David Baker is at Indiana University and is also president of the IAJE (until later this year ). Edited April 16, 2004 by rachel Quote
