2023.08.21 Roy Nathanson on Eric Dolphy - 1 of 3

Deep Focus ·

2023/08/29

If Eric Dolphy's music were a school of painting it would be analytical cubism: planar and angular, multi-directional and austere, But it's not abstract. It's showing us something we know; we are simply experiencing it in a completely new way. His work, in its frame, becomes an entire reality unto itself. It's endless. So what happens when you place this masterly museum piece in a sweaty nightclub? Does it shine? Does it wilt? Does Dolphy change his approach? Few have examined Dolphy more

2023/08/24

You're Miles Davis. It's March of 1970 and you're about to release Bitches Brew, your most incendiary album yet. You have an electric band of young assassins (each of whom will go on to become a legendary bandleader in his own right) and they don't sound like any band anyone has ever heard. You know you've got the goods. You're looking for a new audience for this new sound and you get invited to share a bill with a major rock band at the Fillmore East, THE place where the Woodstock Generation is

The future that Sun Ra sang of has arrived in so many ways. No one knows this better than the musicians who made the music with him. Ahmed Abdullah was part of Sun Ra's Arkestra for more than 20 years and his insights about that time could fill a book. In fact, they have.

2023/07/27

Who was Joseph Jarman? A shaman? A conjurer? A Buddhist priest? A poet? An Aikido sensei? In the words of his fellow member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Lester Bowie, "Well, I guess that all depends on, ah, what you know." We know that in the universe of this music, which thrives on original thinking, few ranged as far and as free as Jarman. He brought us songs and stories, large-scale compositions, movement, theatricality, costumes and confrontation, along with collaborations and

William Parker has perhaps done more than any musician alive to spread understanding and support for open improvised music. More than that, he is a bassist, bandleader, and conceptualist of the highest order. The sheer volume of projects (including the upcoming Vision Festival) that he commits energy to is simply daunting and the list of noted improvisers he has played with is practically a who's who of the idiom. So which of them are we going to focus on? You'll have to tune in to find out
