Hullo, @RevRabbit! I've heard that there are some good things in the movie, but that it might not be a "good movie." I liked Richard Brody's piece on it: www.newyorker.com...
...that sounds more probable...
The complete 'Silent Way' Miles session box was a good thing to stumble across used. Fills the gaps between acoustic & electric (not just *suddenly* 'Bitches Brew') - & a few other things too. Zawinul created 'Ambient' as much as anybody, I gather...
The electric Miles box sets all really interesting in letting you hear how much the editing was part of the original albums. It was like movie editing, more so than most rock editing.
I am hearing this one for the 1st time -- knocked out. But I can say (apropos of KOs!) that's certainly correct regarding the Jack Johnson sessions box which was also some kind of huge beautiful revelation
Probably need to seek this one out now. I am guessing the vinyl may not be the way to go, with this half hour track shoehorned onto one disc side? Anybody have that Mosaic set?
i'm pretty neutral, for the most part. just like to watch the top teams....it's hard this year not to root for Leicester City, though, since they've totally come out of nowhere to lead over the big money clubs.
seemed like wfmu was well represented at that Cecil Taylor show! (Brian Turner was there too, i think). I've only seen him once, back in the late 80's/early 90's. Weirdly at a place in Cambridge (the Western Front) that was mostly a reggae bar.
this is quite Princely...or the artist formerly known as-ish.

Cecil Taylor is a global treasure. A show at Victo was one of the highlights. He was having trouble with Canada's Border Services as showtime approached, so John Oswald and Paul Plimley made a spontaneous appearance before planned opener Marilyn Crispell played. Ultimately, Cecil Taylor got to Victo and performed.
he really is a treasure. i'm always surprised when someone i'm talking with has never heard of him (or Ornette) but i guess i shouldn't be.
...i feel like those are household words.

Speaking of someone who had never heard of Cecil Taylor, I routinely stayed in Victo at the B&B (i.e., home) of a retired nurse who would clip all of the local newspaper articles about the festival for me. She was aware of the festival, but knew none of the artists, so a couple of us bought her tickets for that Cecil show, which she attended with us. She sat through the whole thing: Oswald/Plimley, Crispell, and finally Taylor. And she really enjoyed it. She understood why the festival was such an important annual event to its fans.
Seems to me as though the Peacock home might've had some boundary issues. (Or at least the character singing this song's did.)

Victo released the entire show, too: https://www.discogs.com/Paul-Plimley-John-Oswald-Marilyn-Crispell-Cecil-Taylor-Complicit%C3%A9/release/263154

Zawinul definitely had a way with washes of sound.

Hi, @Mark R! Absolutely agree. Though I admit that most of the 1980s/1990s Miles stuff is music I haven't heard yet.
