Anthony Davis Quintet “Episteme” - Live in Botticino '09
During the end of the seventies and the early eighties A.Davis
was a usual presence on the scene of the avant-gard jazz : in
those years he was a member of The Leo Smith Ens., The
George Lewis Ens., The Leroy Jenkins Trio, co-leaded a
quartet with James Newton and his own Ens. Episteme.
From the half of the eighties he devoted his activity into
modern classical music, becoming an internationally known
composer of operatic, symphonic, choral, and chamber works.
Here you can listen to the world premiere of his new Episteme
Ensemble performing some new compositions and the old
(first rec. 1976) "Of Blues And Dreams". The encore (for trio)
is a wonderful version of Monk's Evidence to demonstrate how
still strong are his roots in jazz music. Great Concert.

I downloaded and have been listening to the mp3. I'm going back and get the flac and make a disc. This is a keeper for sure. Thanks very much.
I think I need to check into Leslie Ellis further also.
Thanks for sharing, riccardo.
huge fan of AD, haven't seen anything by him in a long time
thanks for the great post
Actually the fourth composition of the program is The dream of the spider, composed by Davis & Prieto for his new opera about the schools of music during the cuban revolution
@ Isettal
many thanks for the suggestion :
i've corrected the list, now you all have to correct title and tag in the folder.
Waaooh ! Thanx a lot for this amazing concert. I don't have any news about Anthony Davis for a long time. What a pleasure to listen him on stage again with these incredible cats around !
If I had a particular stressful day at work back in the 80's Anthony Davis album Episteme would make onto my turntable.Still have the album but thanks to a certain creep I no longer have my turntable.So I am looking forward to hearing this show,always wondered how he would sound live,thanks very much for sharing this concert
