I'll be waiting outside the gallery. I'll have an orange t-shirt, black trousers and a black puma bag.

It's in Yorkton Road, E2. Not near a tube unfortunately (Cambridge Heath BR is a bit of a walk) but quite near Homerton Hospital and bang next to Haggerston City Farm. Most Hackney-bound buses stop there.

hmm i just noticed you mentioned yorkton road upthread => the entrance we were gathered at is off the carpark which you enter straight off hackney road itself
oh bah, how miserable for you
of course i really enjoyed it but i feel bad about that now as andrew AND marcello AND julio all missed it!!
dr c there were more beards than you could throw a stick at, but *also* more girls than i would have predicted, and a table of middle-aged laydeeZoRs behind me who said aloud that the tri before E/D was "mesmerising" so :P

The geography of East London never fails to bamboozle me. Once past the Old Street roundabout I am a truly lost soul.

''The geography of East London never fails to bamboozle me''
heh. I had to ask around when I got out of bethnal green station but it was easy really.
''dr c there were more beards than you could throw a stick at, but *also* more girls than i would have predicted, and a table of middle-aged laydeeZoRs behind me who said aloud that the tri before E/D was "mesmerising" so :P''
is that what they said? I heard soemthing from them but I didn't know what they said.
the crowd was a mixture and it was sold out as there were ppl sitting ont he floor (which is nice, I've seen improv when I was among 3 ppl).
''of course i really enjoyed it but i feel bad about that now as andrew AND marcello AND julio all missed it!!''
yeah...derek doesn't play often in London. I wouldn't mind getting a collection of night buses home and getting back at 1am but my mum doesn't sleep until I get home if I'm out late dammit (in toronto I could stay as late as I liked and it was fine of course).
― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 10:01 (twenty-one years ago) link
Hopefully there will be other improv gigs (in slightly - ahem - more convenient locations) which will attract a sizeable ilx group AND coachloads of chain-smoking Diana Rigg lookalikes...with beards.

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.

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.

"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
