Creteil 2006
La Cigale 11/11/1998

OTHERS: a bit Olu Dara (tp) (with Andrew Cyrille, Fred Hopkins)
a bit The Neville Brothers

Weaving Symbolics - CD 1

I enjoyed especially the tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11.

I have not been listening to too much SC these past weeks.

In my playlist right now:
--- Michele Rosewoman (pianist of cuban origin) " The Inside Out" with Mark Shim, and David Fuzynsky. Some very interesting odd meter music.

-- David Gilmore "Unified Presence" : i am really disappointed by this album though. way too straight ahead.

-- Matthew Shipp "One"

-- Vijay Iyer (definetely my farorite piano player)

-- Charlie Parker

Yesterday I listened to
Council of Balance
16/07/99 Teatr Muzylzny, Gdynia, POLAND

It begins with a long intro by Vijay Iyer - unaccompanied.

I have not been downloading a lot of audio concert from Dimitri, I primarily focused on the dvds. I think I should go ahead and start downloading the cds. Is the ftp still working ?

I think the ftp is working.

again – especially to the later part of the concert. I like the whole concert – many beautiful parts.

(Near to the end there is a very fast solo by Coleman in a “Bebop”-tune -I guess it is “Dizzy Atmosphere”)

I'm listening to some hip hop these days.... Jurassic 5 right now... i really like that stuff, it's not as good as SC and the Metrics ( what i really love !!) but still good !! That's quite easy listening !

Hi Harry!

Metrics:
I really like:
Steve Coleman and Metrics
07/09/02 Salle Charlie Parker, La Villette Jazz Festival, Paris
available in the FTP

In one song of this concert Kokayi sings again and again about “motion, motion, motion …”. Sean Rickman’s beats seam to explode … I really like that.

I listened to:
Steve Coleman and Five Elements
16/10/02 L'Aéronef, Lille - France
available in the FTP

Dim noted in the archives: “Very good concert!” – Yeah, I agree.

Yeah! Black Phonemics!
I begin to listen at track 10 „Black Phonemics (Reprise)“ and I wonder: How is it possible to play such a Rhythm?
When I hear track 6 “Black Phonemics” I think: The rhythm-section is like a trampoline and Coleman is jumping on that trampoline. Great. I also like the solos of guitar and piano: very swinging.

Scott (Freewheelin’) would be the right man to say more about this CD – but I think he is sleeping.
Hey Scott, wake up a bit! lol!

yeah ! that rythm is awesome !!! I love it when the music is "jumping" like that, there is such a great feeling coming in me !!
Just to say : this morning i wake up ( a bit late, a admit ! ) with Genesis. This album is one of my favorite. But anyway what album isn't in my favorite finally ??!!!

“Genesis”: Good idea!
I didn’t listen to it since a rather long time.

Now I listen to:
“Genesis”
Great!!!
(Take 5 has always given me the heebie-jeebies – really “bad”.)
“Genesis” is really like I feel what is happening on earth – happing in life as a whole - a really wild thing! Somebody said: earth is a cruel paradise.
Thanks for the hint!

Now I listen to:
John Coltrane „Village Vanguard Recordings” (1961),
1st and 4th CD. I especially like “Impressions” and “Spiritual”.

Somebody else listening to something?

listening to Varèse, contemporary music, my flat mate put it on... Now you talked about Coltrane I wanna listen Coltrane's music... I have to wait for my flat mate to be done with the music he put on... though it's not tha bad... !! So, thanks for the hint too, Manfred !
