"William Parker has perhaps done more than any musician alive to spread understanding and support for open improvised music."

seeing him live converted me to free improv/free jazz, and got me out of my indie ghetto. You have no idea how much i concur w/ mitch's quote...

David Murray is a musical hero titan of mine !
- I’ve even had dreams and visions of him as a spiritual guide … assisting in guidance. Just an extraordinary artist w/ a capitol A.

I’m also quite partial to Sonny Rollins (hahaha, Duh).
- anybody else out there wish that Sonny had been accompanied by ACOUSTIC BASS more often. He seems to record & play so frequently with electric bass.
Anyone know exactly why S Rollins is so partial to Electric Bass and those players.

Listener Gregory:

@Erik, a lot of critics have wondered about Sonny’s choice of bass player. There doesn’t seem to be any clear explanation for it. I saw him address the issue in an interview, and he said something like, “This is what I want.” Yes, but WHY do you want it, Sonny?
  9:40pm
Erik (VT):

Thanks listener Greg: indeed, I’ve only heard him speak in person once (perhaps twice?). It’s been awhile. Mr Rollins was always so enigmatically inclined. A challenge for the interviewer, fer sure. The output is still stellar, but I so prefer the tone of an acoustic bass played by a fiery performer. Can only imagine what even higher heights the experience and product woulda coulda been if acoustic was employed.
  9:51pm
Erik (VT):

‘You Wastin' My Tyme’ by Roscoe Mitchell (And The Sound And Space Ensembles) : oh golly, that was a ride! - how did I not pick up on this 1984 black saint release.
- hearing now, just makes me realize how one of my fave post punk bands RIP RIG & PANIC was influenced by R.Mitchell. (Among others of course…D.Cherry, R.S.Kirk etc). If y’all aren’t familiar, don’t rest until you’ve sampled their career/albums/ 12”singles! - wild gems abound.
  9:56pm
Listener Gregory:

This Cherry is quite interesting, though I feel that the reed player was rather hysterical.

Thanks, David, very nice. I will time to be more timely in the future.

I concur concur in double time.
The few concerts I’ve attended with Parker have all been of the highest caliber. The latest being the jaw dropping power trio of Mayan Space Station. So exciting.

Just caught up, KILLER show!
Saw WSQ many times back in the day, wotta great band! (speaking of killer, that David Murray "Dave Blue" is amazing! Caught Murray many times before he moved to France, haven't caught him since the return, on my "must see" list).
Thanks, David!
(I was just in Kenya/Rwanda, the locals don't pay much attention to "East AFrican" music, try as I might, couldn't find any in concert or on recording. Will have to pick up that compilation, thanks for the link).
