Your post reminded me of this box set, which I have neglected for too long. Joelle and Elisabeth looks intriguing. Thanks for the nudge.

Listened to Disc 1 & 2 this morning. Strong set across the board, with the under rated reed player Bennie Maupin.

Moving on with discs 4,5,6. Have listened to Disc 3 the day I received the box set from CDJapan.
Having just hooked up my new P15, takes this set to an entirely different level.

A brief review of the recently released documentary Fire Music. Addressing the creative music, improvisational oriented, free jazz movement. Screenings limited to New York and L.A. at the time of this review. Hopefully there will be a wider distribution.
Mindi Abar is another different sax player.

Thank you for the link. I hope this is released on blu-ray. Obviously a labor of love.
I had not heard about Jimmy Fallon dissing Peter BrotzmannâŚgood grief.
Unfortunately, I think the film will be preaching to the converted; I hope he was able to include music and interviews with some younger players.

Regarding Jimmy Fallon, I donât do much TV and certainly no late night TV, so Jimmy is how shall I say it not credible with me. I get that some may not get Brotzmann, well and fine. For him to flash the cover of that particular album on TV probably had more to do with titillating the audience than anything of artistic merit. I suppose Jimmy could have flashed Peterâs âDe Boereâ LP cover as well. Imagine if his writing staff ever discovered the Japanese label Venus Records.
For many, Fallonâs description of the album is dead-on: ââThat sounds like a Guitar Center on a busy Saturday.â

I just happen to not be one of them, and I get itâŚ
It took me a moment to realize who Fallon is as I am not being tuned in to TV, or Guitar Center, for that matter what ever that is.
âGuitar Center on a busy SaturdayââŚlots of bad/unskilled musicians playing riffs simultaneously.

Really?
300 stores selling musical instruments and accessories. Big one in Times Square. Hard to miss.
Visiting a Guitar Center, with 10 âshreddersâ all randomly âshreddingâ at highest allowable volume, is the very definition of cringe-worthy. Iâm amazed that at least one shredder isnât beaten to death with his Ibanez once a week.

its not as cringe-worthy as looking in the dumpster of a guitar center and realizing that they smash and toss guitars that had minor flaws.
Bain-Capital ran them into the ground, then sold them to Ares Management Corporation⌠not exactly lovers of fine instruments. As a guitar player, Iâd just like to register my opinion that they are awful
