With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Toru Takemitsu  And Then I Knew 't Was Wind   Favoriting Flute Music  Toru Takemitsu’s And Then I Knew ‘Twas Wind is a valedictory work, written in 1992, four years before its composer’s death. Its title is drawn from Emily Dickenson’s poem “Like Rain it sounded till it curved,” and, as Takemitsu wrote, “has as its subject the signs of the wind in the natural world and of the soul, or unconscious mind (or we could even call it ‘dream’), which continues to blow, like the wind, invisibly, through human consciousness.” And Then I Knew ‘Twas Wind is written in one movement and shares its fragmentary melodic style with Debussy’s Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp. Most of its harmonic content is derived from a collection of six pitches that, though not tonal, strongly alludes to F major. Takemitsu’s aim to project the shifting quality of the wind led him to create a score that is highly gestural – that is, musical lines reflect the physical attributes of an object (in this case the wind), rising, falling, turning mid-phrase, etc. © Jonathan Blumhofer  0:51:36 (Pop-up)

The advantages that DG disc has are the only recording I know to date of I Hear The Water Dreaming, a lush, 10-minute work for flute and orchestra, and, if you're interested in such things, all three of the arrangements (for flute and guitar; flute and harp; and flute, harp, and string orchestra) Takemitsu made of his Toward The Sea."

Dean:

The rest of Lange's review, has a bit more about the music:

"But this program by Aureole (Laura Gilbert, flute, Mary Hammann, viola, and Stacey Shames, harp) has a lot going for it too. Though it doesn't contain all the music Takemitsu wrote for flute, it does give a wider sample of chamber works than the DG disc, including the three-part Noh-inspired duo for flutes, Masque, and the quartet for oboe, flute, viola, and harp, Eucalypts, which he composed in 1970 after encountering the over 300 varieties of eucalyptus trees in Australia. In truth, Takemitsu's writing for the flute remained fairly consistent over the years (the works represented here date from 1959 to 1996—the latter, Air for solo flute, being his last completed composition), favoring pastoral colors and lyrical moods. In Itinerant (another solo piece) and the flute/harp version of Toward The Sea III, flutist Laura Gilbert does a good job of evoking the Japanese shakuhachi through subtle nuances of breath and vibrato, altering pitches microtonally or distorting them by overblowing. Notwithstanding the music's obvious French influence, the musicians don't attempt to shroud everything in soft-focus Impressionist gauze, which works to their advantage, especially in Eucalypts, with its sharper-than-usual melodic angles and spiky attacks, and And Then I Knew 'Twas Wind, which is Debussian enough in its instrumentation and atmosphere, and benefits from this crisp, direct, nicely proportioned approach. The clear, clean recorded sound helps too. In fact, except for the gratuitous, condescending slap at Schoenberg in the program book, this disc has enough positive notes to warrant a strong recommendation."

This Alegre All Stars, v.3, appeared in an advertisement in the Aug. 6, 1966, issue of Billboard. Vol.4 is dated 1965, and there was some sort of marketing ploy based on the title of v.3. So, very likely 1966.

Funny, Dean, have a sealed copy of the Lloyd here as well.

Grant Green reminds me of the guitar classifications I used to hear about rock guitarists, feel versus technique (think it was John Fogerty and Robbie Roberson being put into that "feel" category). Green doesn't Play "notes per measure", just gets a beautiful feel out of what he does play. (Jim Hall and Bill Frissell would fit in the same group).

Didn't know Lloyd was livestreaming, Irene, but of course he would.

(Maybe not so funny, Dean, think I read about the Lloyd signed album in one of your posts).

Where does Derek Bailey land in that classification? One side or another? Above or below?

I remember our discussing the temptation, doc, too.

Bailey kinds of transcends it. Nels Cline fits into both categories.

Think of Jazz as the Art of Space to such a degree. Always kind of been the issue that some players think it's about quantity of notes over quality - perhaps more Caucasian ones...Jazz after all the confluence of Blues & Western technique in the 1st instance more or less... I love McLaughlin for having absolute top-level technique - but also soul... Listening to Segovia (dif field, still) & thinking - it's not what people think of as shredding now - but it's staggering technique completely in service of That Music in all its nuances...

Ooh, that Bobby Hutcherson vibes solo on "Idle Moments." Saved it till the end of a very long tune. Worth the wait.

Like most classifications, it has some usefulness, and falls short for many situations as well.
