    This is GREAT. Thanks.

    If anyone's interested Wadada played trumpet exclusively (no flugelhorn).

    Oh many thanks riccardo! Very nice of you to reup that one: saw those two guys together & it was quite magic. Just free & fluent speaking between two wonderful souls.
    I know Arte Tv took one of their meetings live, beautifully filmed & recorded. If you got it, would be fantastic to upload it, like you did for the William Parker's Sons d'hiver concert. You never can get enough Wadada or McPhee. Be blessed.

    Yes, Riccardo, I saw that (fine) one but was thinking of the Wadada Leo Smith-Günter "Baby" Sommer meeting from the beginning of 2011 which was filmed & played on mezzo(?), as beautiful as the Live in Padua you reuploaded so kindly.
    Has anybody made a copy from TV & could share it: certainly not to be missed!
    Love that Inconstant place, its members & those… IS initials

    @Mew23
    many thanks for the re-post. Considering the two musicians I was expecting something abstract but it is not the case, Sommer is really playing in a total rhythmic way, more Drake or Blackwell than Sabu or Oxley. The sound of his drums is superbe. Listening to this concert I was dreaming of how could have sounded a meeting between Wadada and Masahiko Togashi, but unfortunately it seems that it never happened.
    One more great moment of music available here.
