Thanks, Ausmanx! I'll keep my eye out for it. I loved the band when I saw them at Drom a couple of years ago. I took video of some of the performance, but stupidly shot it sideways (easy to do on your phone).

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, a 2004 record from the Revolutionary Ensemble, the first they made together in 27 years! It's a composition by Cooper, inspired by the experience of watching the Towers fall from his rooftop on 9/11.

Avatar 10:36am ausmanx:

as an impression of 9/11 it certainly knocks that poseur Basinski into a cocked hat
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40am Doug Schulkind:

That double-reeded wind instrument you are hearing is one of Jerome Cooper's chiramia. It is from Mexico. Cooper called his largest one "Big Mama."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42am Doug Schulkind:

I always knew him just as "Billy." Only years later did I learn that my friend Ruth's loft-mate was actually Williams Basinski.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Leroy Jenkins died in 2007. Sirone died in 2009. Jerome Cooper is now rehearsing with them again.
Avatar 10:46am ausmanx:

that was really great. i wonder what else they might have done in that 27 year hiatus... 1 a.m. and time to finish work, till next week, thanks Doug.

Here's a short piece I wrote after the death of Lester Bowie: wfmu.org...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:04am Jeff Golick:

I first heard this Bowie cut a little too early in my ears' evolution, tbh. Found it wonderfully strange but also impenetrable.
Avatar 🥁 11:08am Parq:

Morning, all. Saw the title of the current piece and instinctively thought, "All my best things are in hock."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:09am Doug Schulkind:

But did you ever watch F Troop, Jeff Golick? Now THAT was art.

Well hello there, Parq hocker!
  11:12am Dean:

F Troop: Live or animated?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Leroy, Sirone and Jerome were famous for rehearsing a ton. Considering how prolific they were for most of the 1970s, they most have woodshedded for like a million hours.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:13am Jeff Golick:

Braxton's Comp. 6N is dedicated to Cooper.

Avatar 11:14am northguineahills:

Wow, a Braxton record I actually have (he has so many).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:14am Jeff Golick:

I did not watch F Troop. In other words, I got an F in watching F Troop.

(I did get a C- in watching the A-Team, though.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:15am Mike East:

Braxton's son uses our studio sometimes.
Good morning and good Friday, Drummer.
  11:16am Dean:

My bad, as the kids used to say. I'm thinking of the opening credits. Per Wikipedia: "The second season opening credits used only the instrumental ending part, over still cartoon scenes and caricatures of the main cast."

Good morning, Doug and listeners.

Was there an animated version? The live-action show was pretty much a cartoon.

@Jeff Golick
Composition 6 N is on Braxton's "Town Hall 1972" record which you shared with me recently because it also had a composition dedicated to Frederic Rzewski on it. What goes around goes around!

Hello, Late Jesse! Good morning, Early Carmichael!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:36am Doug Schulkind:

A few years ago when Makanda Ken McIntyre died, I did a memorial broadcast and one of his former students comments (or maybe emailed me, I can't remember). Same thing happened during my month-long Yusef Lateef memorial.

@kenny
Amazing, right?! Absolutely electric. Enthralled audience watching his deep concentration and all four limbs and both lungs pushing out that power sound. And then the big smile at the end.
