Spyhumonesty is a recent revelation. <br /><br />The NYT termed him "idiosyncratic". Well, yes, but there is a warmth at the center of his music that is very moving.<br /><br />The pairing of Abrams and Bley on Sweet Earth Flying always seemed to me one of the finest truly unusual arranging ideas on a jazz album.<br /><br />This makes me all the gladder to have seen Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton in October. All praise to the AACM and the vision of its founding members.RIP Richard Abrams.Howl Dinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107363686652326726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-22869559491332497132017-11-03T13:43:04.934+01:002017-11-03T13:43:04.934+01:00And he was the blacksmith of AACM & great blac...And he was the blacksmith of AACM & great black music; he won an eternal life.sandor essedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033247323535021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-1288828588569232172017-11-03T00:29:35.223+01:002017-11-03T00:29:35.223+01:00Such a wonderful pioneer, organizer, leader, compo...Such a wonderful pioneer, organizer, leader, composer, performer, teacher, etc. He inspires me.

It was a solo recital and I remember how he was playing with the acoustic of the room. The way that the notes were moving in the space created a bridge for the coming touch on the key...
