  • What an irony - Murray in a musical culture renowned for its virtuosity, finesse and accuracy

  • Very Nice.

  • dance to david murray??

  • So is all this negative diatribe meant to make you look more intelligent than the other person? . . . . . Is the limit of your ability as a human being. . . . to put down another person to make you look better . . man, what kind of animal are we? . . . .Just in enjoy the music, discuss it, analyze it, yeah, debate about it . . . .But the the NEGATIVE out . . . .keep it out of your spirit and you'll live a healthier life . . spiritually, mentally, n physically . . . Peace to everyone . . .

  • Actually Reed nailed it in this video - inadvertently.

    "Maybe New York jazz was a mistake."

    rnso5w9 hit it.

    Murray's been smart enough to surround himself with real musicians. That's about as far as it goes.

  • david Murray is the best

  • sorry, mistake.

  • i think you addressed your comment to me in error. i made no comment about quality or quantity.

  • "Who would be in the continuum of the avant garde if not Murray?" - if we only think of saxophonists, how about Peter Brotzmann, David S Ware, Charles Gayle, Sam Rivers etc etc. And I think you will find that Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp, the real deal, are still both going strong. You can only think of Murray because he is the most visible;he has very good press agents and management.

  • Well, you are still confusing quantity with quality. No, I would not think the same of Dizzy, because he STUDIED the Afro Cuban tradition and incorporated it into his own style. Murray does not, and can not, do this but merely uses these groups as a background noise to do his thing, which is quite limited. So no cultural exchange here, just business. Put Murray in, say, Gonzalo Rubalcaba's group and he would struggle through lack of musicianship. You can't say the same of Dizzy.
