To celebrate Evan Parker's 70th birthday year, hcmf// has commissioned the world premiere of Twelve for Twelve Musicians by Parker.

‘Since the dodecaphonic revolution, 12 has been a special number in new music. In my ‘composing' with 12 elements I am exceptionally fortunate to work with 11 other musical individuals. The piece starts and ends with their musical genius as instrumentalists and as improvisers.'
Evan Parker

Not jazz, but for some on this board (well me and Bruce) , R4E are running a 3hr retrospective of Chris Morris's radio work tonight. For those who enjoyed his Death of Heseltine etc....


"After the success of Blue Jam on Radio 4 Extra, one of the producers (big CM fan) pushed for a three-hour Chris Morris documentary to be made. That's been in production for ages, and is scheduled to go out as "Raw Meat Radio" at 7pmbon the 29th of November".

doubleplus genius!

If you want triple genius, ck/out Art Farmer's "Mau Mau" arranged Quincy Jones from 1955 on Utube...Monk Montgomery playing the electric bass line....that early....and the sax section bumping the "Love Supreme" riff a minute or so in! Surely not! ALS.... Written by Quincy? The Q?

Wonderful track.

App that riff was well known in Latin circles....and Welsh ones....There's a great Yusef Lateef track on Savoy from 57 where he kicks into the same line.

Thanks for the tip off Bluesnik about the Chris Morris fest tonight

And Somewhere Called Home is an excellent disk - their version of Tea For Two is exquisite. Happy birthday Mr Coe!

Evan Parker

Many thanks indeed for getting in ahead of me in mentioning this.

The idea of an Evan Parker composition is a new one to me and seems to go against the grain - one wonders if they'll all have neeeded to be trained to circular-breathe! I see our good friend Richard is in the line-up, along with his associate from FURT Mr Obermayer. Should be very interesting.

What a crying shame, given the opportunity, that JLU chooses just ONE not especially representative recording to exemplify Tony Coe's unique greatness as performer and composer. His tenor version of Body and Soul in the trio with Chris Laurence and Tony Oxley from the 1982 "Live in Willisau" LP eclipses all others, before and since, imv, even Hawk's historical 1939 marker.

That is a great solo -- can't argue with you there but I do like the featured disc.

Unfortunately I can't find a link to my recommended track, but below are 4 clips that put Tony into a broader spectrum of contexts:
