No Matter how many times I watch this, it blows me away each time like it was new. They just cook their asses off and truely do lift us to the heavens with them.
You are not kidding. I was late convert to this man's music, but once I "heard it" I couldn't let go. Truth is compelling like that! Very great loss to the music-one of the old guard who was still really contributing to the advance of the music (Sam Rivers too). Great performance!
It's so nice to have some video of the late drummer Oliver Johnson. I mentioned his name to Billy Hart and he put his praying hands together, looked skyward and said, "Another genius."
Unfortunately, we can't see the beginning of this beautiful theme, called "Prospectus". Great alto sax Steve Potts, Irene Aebi (violin and vo.), Jean-Jacques Avenel on bass, Oliver Johnson on drums (?)
Sky50, could you put the names of the musicians in the description of the video please ?
Great post, thank you !

@montezumasrevenge Take the cement out of your ears, open your mind, and listen. You might actually learn something.

More than lifting the bandstand, they levitated it to the heavens. Simply incredible music. Steve is sorely missed in this world.

This solo/improvisation sequence is amazing. The interplay between Lacy and Potts is nothing short of stunning.

There has never been another vocalist like Irene Aebi. Fantastic.

You are right on that one. Totally unique and for that alone she needs praise. An acquired taste for some, but excellent never the less.
