Jaimoe Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 quote:Originally posted by secondtube: ERIC DOLPHY 17 Out To Lunch Live 2/25/64 with Tony Williams & Freddie Hubbard (offical release??) This is the official Out To Luch release, but it's not live. A lot of jazz albums are recorded and produced live-to-tape in the studio - and this is one of them. I bought this album some 10 years ago and it opened my eyes then, as it does now. Hey 'Tube, if you want some recommendations of great and influential avant-garde guitarists that'll fuck with your head, try finding the late great Sonny Sharrock's " Ask The Ages " ( with Pharoah Sanders and Elvin Jones ) or anything by James Blood Ulmer - but try to find his cosmic funky " Tales of Captain Black " or his latest ( with Vernon Reid ) " No Escape From The Blues ". You will not be disappointed! Oh yeah: What? You didn't get no Tea Party?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be disappointed! Everything i've heard from Sonny hasn't disappointed me so far... Exceptionally experimental ... but not too crazy...well... Anyways, this is an interesting live show i have...and listen to often. Sonny Sharrock Band w/Pharoah Sanders 7-3-93 Warner Theatre Washington DC Recorded less than a year before his death, this show shows the more rock and roll direction Sonny was taking and features a few unrecorded tunes that would have appeared on the Arista release he was planning at the time he passed away. Sonny Sharrock Guitar Pharoah Sanders Sax Dave Snyder Keyboards Lance Carter Drums Charles Baldwin Bass Abe Speller Drums 1. Unknown Title 2. Unknown Title 3. Upper Egypt / Venus 4. Unknown Title 5. Many Mansions 6. Dick Dogs 7. Red Ribbons as for something a little more out there of his, yet live, i listen to this... Last Exit Recorded 1986 Frankfurt Jazz Festival Bill Laswell Bass(Actually Baritone guitar) Sonny Sharrock Guitar Peter Brotzman Reeds Ronald Shannon Jackson Drums,Vocals A little history....... in late 1985 Bassist, Producer Bill Laswell had an idea for a new band, so he called up 3 of his favorite musicians and collaborators, Avant-Guitar legend Sonny Sharrock, German Saxophonist Peter Brotzman and Master Drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson all of whom Laswell had previously worked with, but none of whom had ever met each other. On Feb 6 1986 they assembled in Zurich Switzerland and without ever having discussed what they were going to play and without a single rehearsal, they hit the stage with a volcanic eruption of free improvisation, warped-out delta Blues and other musical mayhemthat left audiences ears bleeding all across europe for the next 2 weeks. Last Exit(Laswell also toyed with the idea of calling it The Sex Beatles) was born. And though the band only survived for 4 years I have yet to hear anything that approaches what they did in terms of musical power, sheer volume and audacity. This recording and those that follow are only references, artifacts of something that was and will never be again. Having been lucky enough to witness and be involved with this project, if only peripherally, was certainly the highlight of my musical education. As i said, the second show is pretty out there... Thanks for the suggestion....I have a suggestion pad, where i write down every single musician that gets suggested, and i check them out.... Thanks again.

Jaimoe Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I don't know about that stuff, I just know that he's a wild player - he's been playing variations of blues based music recently. God bless him for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
