Jeff I loves this time of year, I am lucky to work where there are some old trees like copper beeches and horse chestnuts and there is the space to see them.
There were a few mushrooms appearing in the woods today when I was walking Spencer.

Rosas will have a new take of A Love Supreme with younger dancers. My favorite dancer of all time (Cynthia Loemij) got closest to Coltrane in the original version. I hope I can get beyond that and appreciate this performance.

@Jeff: Thierry Müller has used a bunch of names, mainly Ruth and Ilitch. His defunct Dildo project is on the FMA. He's been struggling financially lately, so every play that puts his name out there helps. The Superior Viaduct reissues were helpful too

Some reading, if you're interested, while listening:
Guardian: www.theguardian.com...

Pitchfork: pitchfork.com...

NYer: www.newyorker.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:29am
Brian in UK:

Jeff, the Guardian article mentions Julius Eastman singing Peter Maxwell Davis' Eight Songs for a Mad King. A truely remarkable work. I saw the world premiere on April 22 1969 in London with Roy Hart as the reciter, as the programme notes state. The musicians were in individual bird cages and played as George 111 (the mad king) performed the songs) It was quite startling for this seventeen year old.
What I am trying to say is that Julius Eastman's scope must have been wide ranging.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:31am
Jeff Golick:

Wow, @Brian. Just, wow.

And yeah, I'm reminded of the line in a recent Beyonce song: "I'm just too much for you." I think Eastman was perhaps too much for us.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32am
fred:

This is really great. How many other composers did we lose because we were too prejudiced to hear them?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:40am
Brian in UK:

@fred later that year I saw Eight Songs again along with a first of Maxwell Davis' Vesalii Icones based on Vesalius positions of Christ on the cross. The dancer was William Lowther whom you might know. It was my first introduction to dance and might have spoiled me for a while it was so strong.

Just remembered I was sixteen not seventeen!

Dean:

What a privilege to have attended premieres of Maxwell Davies' works.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44am

I wish I had heard this earlier, when I could have asked Boulez about him

doctorjazz:

gotta go for now, catch up on the archives, thanks for the fine music, Jeff.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:46am
Brian in UK:

@Dean I was too young and daft to fully realise it then. Emotionally it was powerful though. Saw the Stones in the Park the same year. They were a poor second.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:48am
fred:

@Brian: I don't know William Lowther. My initial interest in dance came from a strong interest in girls who were dance fans back in high school. I did learn a lot since then, but on the go, without any formal structure
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:51am

This piece seems to be looking upwards constantly.
  10:56am
Dean:

Had to do a double-take in the Pitchfork piece. It mentions that "[e]ach member [in the SEM Ensemble] had a digital clock..." and I'm thinking, "In 1974?!" Of course, it means a clock with a digital display, a display consisting of digits.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56am
Gary:

I'd love to read about the clash between Eastman and Cage ... what happened?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:01am
fred:

@Jeff: At 16 I saw a show with U2, UB40 and The Pogues, you were so ahead of me
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:01am
Jeff Golick:

@Gary, from the Guardian: "Yet, as an out gay black man working in a predominantly straight white environment, Eastman grew progressively more uncomfortable. In a pivotal SEM performance of John Cage’s Song Books in June 1975, with Cage present, Eastman staged a lecture on “a new system of love” in which he undressed a male volunteer (possibly his boyfriend), while making sexual overtures in acrobatic baritone. Cage was furious.

“Julius tried to ‘out’ Cage,” Di Pietro says. “He said, I hate that Cage never speaks about sex. But he regretted it because Cage was so angry. Julius was deeply divided.”

“Cage thought it was a parody of him,” says SEM co-founder Petr Kotik. “It was a huge scandal. "
  11:02am
Dean:

Another double-take: the 2015 collection, Gay Guerilla: Julius Eastman and His Music, is from the extensive series, Eastman Studies in Music. Wait. There's a series devoted to this relatively unknown musician? Uhm, duh. Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02am

Belated HELLO, @Dean. I had a similar reaction to the mention of the digital clocks.

Should I legally change my name to Harvard if I ever write music?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11am
Jeff Golick:

Hiya, @glenn. Of course that's it. Duh's on me!
  11:13am
Dean:

I assume the coincidence of names is just that. The Eastman School is almost 100 years old. Founder George Eastman. Yes, that Eastman, the one that spawned Linda.

@fred: Well, series of academic books grow extensive because academics need to publish and reputable publishers attract lots of academics. Funny you mention Harvard. I was on the board of trustees of my undergraduate college when the president at the time proposed changing the name from ... College to ... University, despite the fact that the college had virtually none of the trappings of a real university. His rationale was that other colleges were doing the same, that it served the institution's reputation. I commented, "Why don't you just change the name to Harvard, then?" He was not amused, but the name change never occurred.

@Jeff think I am doing things in reverse to you. Going to see You, Me at Six. Yes I know, never heard of them. A friend of mine taught the drummer many years ago and this might be my first comp tickets. Might need earplugs.

Just searched NYT for "julius eastman." There are 140 articles published between 1961 and the present. Some are ads, e.g., a Feb. '69 program at Carnegie Recital Hall featuring works by Eastman, Webern, Rands, et al. Lukas Foss prepared it. Admission? $3.00.
