OK. Looks like the Deep Joy needs re-upping already. Tomorrow.

Was Mr. Levin the "taproot" for the Mujician formation? Or was the Tony Levin Trio a branch off Mujician more like?
Apologies for my ignorance.
And thank you.

If 2015 begins in this way, what will happen in its continuation?! Another gem from your endless archive! I love this trio, Live in Austria actually is the video from Rudersdorf I sent to you.
I have a dream: to have Deep Joy Trio (with Mark Sanders) here in my place next late October. In the coming weeks I will be less mysterious... :-)

Good question. Tony wasn’t really the main instigator; Mujician just sort of came about. Rogers had played with Keith in the 70s. Dunmall had known Keith since the early 80s at Treforest jazz summer school and had been playing in a trio with Tony Levin and bassist Tony Moore. Both Rogers and Levin played in the Keith Tippett Sextet. Dunmall, Rogers and Levin all played with Alan Skidmore in Tenor Tonic. Dunmall and Tippett had played together with Tony Levin at Levin’s Birmingham club and when Rogers returned from a stint in America they got a gig together in Cardiff under the name Paul Dunmall/Keith Tippett Quartet. Keith suggested the name and that was that.
The trio minus Keith came about as a working group after Mujician was born, although they had played together at Tony’s house before.

Thanks Andy! Only one-words comes to my mind for describing the music -- hilarious, sparkling, emotional :)

QPjr said...

I didn't expect the heat generated at this performance! Also unexpectedly, the intensity between Dunmall and Levin almost renders Rogers irrelevant for long stretches! For all the foot and arm work Levin's doing, I don't think he needed a stool under him to keep suspended! Good to hear. Thanks again.
