what was he on? that jimmy heath album i posted about upthread is great btw. hard bop meets semi-big band kind of thing.

Did he talk about his book? Was is from Flushing Town Hall or somewhere else?

He was part of the group paying tribute to Sonny Rollins on the Kennedy Center Honors show. Also playing were Joe Lovano, Christian McBride, Ravi Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, and a young unknown named Herbie Hancock. The played "Sonnymoon For Two," "St. Thomas," and I think one other tune. Everyone was great, but for me, Heath was the highlight.

cool stuff, will have to seek out clips of that show!
got the new miles 1967 "bootleg series" for xmas. amazing, essential recordings! i've heard a bunch of recordings from that tour, but it's worth it for the cleaned up sound. DVD is nice too, cool to see the band at work. major flaw, as some have noted, is that ron carter gets lost in the mix often, but them's the breaks for bassists. But it's too bad, judging from the DVD, Carter is working twice as hard as everyone else! Also, he is really tall.

That's awesome. As is the "translation".

I believe those glasses employ frameless-lens logics simultaneously with the implementation of tortoise-shell-temple sublogics.

Thought it was some kind of tribute to the late great Jackie Pari*s

Tonight I have become a street team of one for this album: Count's Rock Band: Do Not Listen If You Hate Coltrane or Maggot Brain

Streaming right now: Sam Rivers Memorial Broadcast

Should have realized that would be going on. Thanks,

Can anyone tell me more about Christian Wallumrod? Really interesting style sort of on the border between jazz and modern chamber music.
