Its a very gd issue and i can confidently say its the best in a while even if I haven't read everything - and I also must mention a lovely epiphany by geeta - the chemistry/music : father/son/daughter undercurrent in both of the pieces was something I couldn't miss.

seems odd that it's more than five years since he died.

wish that i was better at sitting, and listening to music, and not doing other things, while i do those two things.
except, maybe, other minor activities, like breathing and drinking tea.

I just bought a copy of his Improvisation book the other day. I'm looking forward to reading it but haven't cracked it open yet because I'm still working through Blues People.

watson bk came out before, didn't it? i guess this is a revised version.
― Ward Fowler, Friday, 28 June 2013 15:29 (ten years ago) link
crüt, you can watch the accompanying tv series here: http://www.ubu.com/film/bailey.html
(although, frustratingly, the link for part 4 is actually part 3)

oh yeah, forgot about that. I suspect this is more of a reissue than a revision.

"Playing for friends" is all rather too cosy but he's often actual funny and then hes asking for the time at the end in a "have I entertained these buggers for long enough already" so its all ok.

i saw Bailey at Tonic with Zorn, Joey Baron and Reggie Workman, and though seeing him live was a treat and a great show, i didn't really 'get' anything that didn't come across on record before. if you can't stand his playing after making the best attempt to acquire a taste for it, you're probably fUx0red.
I was at this gig too, having interviewed Bailey for a feature in Jazziz, of all magazines, earlier that day. I also remember there being a duo performance (with Susie Ibarra, maybe?) that was much better than the quartet set.
Anyway, there's a fantastic looking new 4CD box set out - Topographie Parisienne, 3 1/2 hours or so of live material from 1981 with Bailey, Evan Parker, and Han Bennink performing in various combinations (trio, different duos, and some Parker solo - no Bailey solo stuff, though). I just ordered one from Squidco.

Listening to Webern lately and given that Bailey spoke about him often I shouldn't have been surprised, but op 18 and 19 are amazing because they sound like Bailey is in the ensemble as a featured soloist
