Thanks Eighthobstruction. I'm like Captain Beefheart - I was an only child, nobody understands who I am exactly, and I feel most at home in a desert. Being on here is my attempt at developing a public face. I've just grown a beard like yours but only temporarily. So far I've been called a Father Christmas wannabe and aka Captain Haddock. Got to go now. Can't stand the crowds. Catch up with you later. (PS All messages with doves are always welcome 
).

To pick up on your question, I did listen to Darcy James Argue on Jon3 and was impressed although I ust admit that the material (bar two tracks) can all be found on their CD. Still to listen to the second set.
The music was not accurately described by Jez Nelson in my opinion. I cannot hear anything in this music that relates back to earlier styles of jazz and the whole thing sounds totally contemporary. It is interesting music but I haven't been quite as won over as I have by his contemporaries John Hollenbeck (more adventurous) or Maria Schneider who is just in a totally different league. The CD suffers from the material being very similar and the soloists not really adding much to nthe excitement levels when the ensemble playing stops. The writing is what draws you in and not the improvising as the soloists are more conservative than the writer. Several of them such as Ryan Keberle actually come from the Lincoln Centre JO and whilst the girl altoist was good, I have heard Ingrid Jenssen in better situations such as the clip you posted on the old site a few weeks back. Seeing that this CD was a debut, you can anticipate that the band will only get better albeit they do seem to play from a very small book of arrangements. For me, very much a work in progress but definately someone to keep tabs on.

...yep Ian, a year back i dld a stack of stuff from his personal website [dk if it is all still there!] and listened
i think this is aband you have to be in the room with, not best served through speakers, most of the very positive reactions come from people who have been in the room for a live performance...
still pretty listen-able and i detect Mingus and Ellington sounds from their larger pieces for orchestra too

Yep,....much like that myself....though it comes from a decision, do I [a] want to constantly have strain looking interested as people blather on, or [b] deal with solitude and lots of dead space....I chose [b]....weird but wonderful, testing but silent....((thank goodness for BBC))((a friend you can turn off and doesn't eat your biscuits))....

Speaking, not of Yard(e) (Jason), but that fine fellow Soweto Kinch, anybody hear his talk on 3 on putting radical politics back into jazz - in particular - on 3 last Friday?
