George E. Lewis - Homage To Charles Parker (Live 1979)
George E. Lewis Quintet - Homage To Charles Parker (excerpt)
Recorded in Moers, Germany on June 2, 1979.
Originally posted at the Inconstant Sol blog in 2015.
George Lewis, trombone
Douglas Ewart, alto saxophone, bamboo-flute, bass clarinet
Wallace McMillan, flute, alto saxophone
Anthony Davis, piano
Richard Teitelbaum, synthesizer
As George Lewis notes in the liner notes to the recorded version of the album, the piece was first performed at the AACM's annual Festival in Chicago, September 1978, with Ewart, Lewis and dancer and choreographer Rrata Christine Jones. Lewis notes that that first part of the piece "represents the life of Charles Parker - what is known, what is thought to be known, what is dreamed, heard, and said - and his 'reality', i.e. birth and death. The second part uses the traditional improvised solo with chordal accompaniment, a form which Charles Parker and other composer-performers have since brought to a rare level of perfection. The music makes loving inferences as to Charles Parker's afterlife, and points to a new appraisal of world music after his life - one in which Afro-American creative music affirms its place as a living, growing, vital part of world culture". As he later remarked: "We were doing Afro/Euro-American experimentalism. In 'Homage', minimalism, electronics and [John] Coltrane’s 'Peace On Earth' got remixed into a kind of fragility."
For this live version, flautist and saxophonist Wallace McMillan, an under-acknowledged member of the AACM, is added to the line-up, and the performance is radically extended from the record (this is an excerpt from an hour-plus version). If the recording emphasises sparser and more beatific gestures--Douglas Ewart's solo on the record could in this regard be linked to Marion Brown on Harold Budd's 'Bismillah 'Rahman 'Rahim' from around the same period--this live version is perhaps more clearly tied to the improvisational vocabulary of free jazz and free improvisation, an absorbing and extensive investigation of the further potentials of a piece that is in itself about further potential: what Muhal Richard Abrams called "things to come from those now gone".

It's yrs later .., I haven't forgotten . I was playing vln w/ the band. Still friends w/ to those that are lucky enough to be alive. I was 28 then+73 now. , 🎵🎵🎵✌️✌️✌️
WOW! More words are useless ❤
This is a real revelation to me, thank you so much. Since its release, the album has been one of the seminal moments in my journey as a listener, but I've actually never heard this live recording. Such beautiful music, a lasting homage to a great soul, a paradise island in a sea of musical (and not quite so musical) tributes.
One of the best Moncur tracks I've heard, thank you!
Thank very much you for this totally unexpected and most welcome surprise! A true all-star meeting I was completely unaware of. A joy to behold!
2024. Uvek metafizicki zagrljaj sa tobom, dok slusam ovu lepotu
killer intro, drums smoke an overall vibe of a teeming earthly desert, somewhere. too short…
Beautiful. Hints of early Messiaen and maybe Varese? A great American composer.
I saw Archie with Trane at Village Gate in September 1965. One of many times I saw Trane from 1961-1966. The last time was with Albert Ayler in band. I was also at Birdland in 1963 with Roy Haynes on drums on a double bill with Terry Gibbs with Alice McLoud on piano. Terry told me once that he was the "matchmaker" for Alice marrying Trane.
I was also in the original Birdland in '63 --probably not the same night as you but Roy Haynes was the drummer. I sat in the area left of the bandstand. From there I looked to my right and saw Alice McLeod in the back of the room, staring at John. You knew what was coming---marriage and Ravi Coltrane. (Alice was the 3rd of Terry's women pianists. More classically-oriented than the other 2. HIs very first, Terry Pollard , deeply rooted in the blues and able to stay with Terry.on vibes.
perfect rich recording; will give your stereo a workout.
so ahead of their time that their time hasn’t even arrived yet. people couldn’t get with the simplicity of this, the space in it, the stark essence of it. it wasn’t like the other *free jazz* that was happening at the time. these guys were just too unique.
For 48 years metal and many other genres have tried to replicate what Ornette Coleman did with a plastic saxophone.
OK OK I know this isn't a saxophone I WISH I could make sounds like this on a sax...
🔥
Garbage. Pure trash.
When I was a young man, I was one of those jazz purists who didn’t like what Ornette was making, but many years later and listening to more of his music, I realized I was wrong. The more I listen to Ornette Coleman, the more I appreciate him and his genius. Rest In Peace Ornette Coleman 🙏🏾
i`m a jazz purist too, in the sense, but i think that such artists as ornette, cecil taylor, don cherry, etch are pure jazz
Clear Spring (not Chicago, which is a different track on this LP)
Thanks for clarifying--I've corrected the video title.
A little bit of jazz in the stooges fun house...then onto free jazz in trout mask replica..now this masterpiece. God I've come a long way from wham.
This is one of the famous jazz song i have ever heard . When i was down it regulatet my the chaos in my brain
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Her output is slender, and like many composers after their death disappeared in concerts without the shock of the new. Along with three other women composer contemporaries Lutyens (1906-1983), Williams (1906-1977), Maconchy (1907-1994), she should be better known and more frequently performed.
It sounds like he’s weeping, out of this world…
Glorious- thank you for uploading-❤🎉 & Apologies but any commercials need to be eliminated completely….. it is disrespectful to the music.
I agree, it is a beautiful piece! And being performed again next month. If you are seeing commercials, I believe you can disable them with an adblocker. There is no way an individual uploader can control that as far as I know?
is this bluegrass music?
Does anyone know how to buy the original video?
I believe it's just available as a free video on CZcams.
@@postmeback Thank you. I found the link in the description.
Wayne Shorter è un grande compositore sarà ancora valutato in futuro ❤
Pure bliss....
Simply Beautiful!!!
👏🏾👏🏾
Wow❤
So, live music will never meet up to studio sets w/ remixes, cuts ,nothing live really going on. Good musicians, scores(I copied+ helped arrange all parts+ score). You can break if you mess up or decide to change something. Not so w/ live concert. Its hot or its not. 🎉
I love this mellower-than-usual track from Grant... like a soft-breeze spring day. Thanks for posting.
A variant on the opening track, 'The Dew at Dawn' from the album 'Memories of Bacares' by Harry Beckett's Joy Unlimited: czcams.com/video/TmX1R1rlaRk/video.html
o hell ya
I had no idea there was a symphonic version. It's such a difficult piece to listen to, but there are some really incredible passages that make the whole experience worth it
Waaaaaaaaaaaw
0:44 "Excuse me?" *puts out the truth*
Magnificent.
Deep.
I guess I'm on the wrong end of opinion here (including Mary Lou Williams'), but this sounds marvelous to me. Is it possible that it was simply half a century or so too early? Are we (or am I) a little more willing to hear music that doesn't sound like anything else?
This is perfect. oh man.
Ne bi se štel mešat....
Ne razumem čisto tvojega komentarja?

My favorite Ferneyhough piece.
Mrs. Williams should choose her companies better.
Jazz healer
Somebody should orchestra this.
GORGEOUS!!!
I heard a wrong note at 4:34.
Indeed, it should be F sharp in the double bassoon, not F natural.
had it at marxism lost it at leninism-mao zedong thought
Historic record. Early free jazz.
