"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

@Woods: It's been a minute, but I remember loving "Invisible Man." Also, I'm by no means a Baldwin expert, but literally nothing by him I've encountered isn't excellent, including novels ("Giovanni's Room"; "Go Tell It on the Mountain"), plays ("Blues for Mister Charlie"), and essays/theory ("Notes of a Native Son"; "Nobody Knows My Name"; "The Fire Next Time"). You're making me think I should find the stuff I haven't got to yet.

@Woods: It's not just shelf space, it's head space. I'm afraid I wouldn't take the time to listen to the whole thing. Sometimes there is just too much greatness to absorb. I have a 6-CD set of Miles Okazaki playing the complete compositions of Thelonious Monk on solo guitar. It's amazing. But I don't think I've given it the attention it deserves, because there's also that Rob Mazurek record, and Nubya Garcia, and Quinn Kirchner, and ... and ...

Got to see Parker an couple of years ago in the sticks of Peterborough, NH. He and his wife did a bass/dance improv. Pretty cool.

I was doing a jazz radio show here in Chicago when William Parker dropped "Crumbling In The Shadows Is Fraulein Miller's Stale Cake", 3 CDs of solo bass. I remember thinking - "How do I play this on the radio?"

William Parker was my gateway to avant jazz. I was 18, and went on a whim (i was mostly into indie rock and shoegaze at the time), and he played w/ Mathew Shipp (sam rivers headlined0, There was maybe 15 people in the audience, I was mesmerized. The rest is history....

I've told this story before but I'll tell it again. (Please let me know if I'm talking too much). A few years ago at Jazzfest, William Parker was supposed to give a lecture on the art of improvisation.

You can probably guess what happened, they played (joyously) for an hour, Parker standing on one leg playing the flute, then bass. They used up the whole time-slot then WP said "Oops - we're out of time! Bye!" It was the best lecture on music I've ever heard.

i guess Cecil was my first "avant" jazz. but then it depends how you define avant jazz. it initially meant "free" jazz. and then there's "out" jazz. and what the fuck's the difference...
to me it's "jazz" - as opposed to "something that's called jazz that isn't jazz because there's no improvisation".
