Selected Clips: Joe McPhee (reeds, trumpet, pvc pipe, voice) composer, multi-instrumentalist and poet, has been on a musical search through improvisation, conceptual studies and composition, encompassing various aspects of acoustic and electronic music, which has brought wide acclaim and recognition worldwide. His PO Music series inspired by philosopher Dr. Edward de Bono's work with lateral thinking uses positive provocatioon to move from fixed ideas in order to discover new ones. PO is a language indicator to show that the process of provocation is taking place and that things might not be necessarily what they seem. It is his hope that the name Joe McPhee will accomplish the same result. McPhee's work extending the free jazz idiom was partially responsible for the founding of HAT HUT records, and McPhee has been widely documented as an international voice in new music. His collaborations with Pauline Oliveros, Peter Brotzman Octet, and Dominic Duvall, among others, have produced very amazing music. "Joe McPhee stands out as a musician who adeptly combines a highly developed sense of clarity and precision in playing with and adventurous spirit of collaboration."-Stewart Mostofsky |
Underground
Railroad Joe McPhee (trumpet, pocket cornet, tenor saxophone) Reggie Marks (tenor and alto saxophones, flute) Tyrone Crabb (bass) Ernest Bostic (drums, percussion, vibes) Otis Green (alto saxophone, harmonica) Joe Virgillio (tenor and alto saxophone) Joe McPhee's first recording. Recorded at Holy Cross Monastery in April 1969, the original release on CjR only included 500 copies and has been virtually impossible to find since. Combined with a live concert recorded six months later (disc two) with the original quartet plus Green and Virgillio, this is a must-have release. The music is hauntingly poignant and ironically current over 30 years later. Comes with our highest recommendation. Disc One: 5 tracks in 68:10 :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Emancipation Proclamation (McPhee and Drake) Trinity (McPhee, Kull, Smith) Mining Our Bid'ness (Carei Thomas and Feel Free Ensemble) A Survivor's Smile (Gary Hassay) Specific Gravity (McPhee and Giardullo) Grand Marquis (McPhee and McLellan) Banana (Luther Thomas Human Arts Ensemble) Vivid (Kali and friends) Unlawful Noise (Haazz & Company) The Milwaukee Tapes (Fred Anderson Quartet) Freedom & Unity (Clifford Thornton New Arts Ensemble) |
