I had the pleasure of experiencing Archie Shepp and Lester Bowie live at Monmatre Copenhagen. They invited me back stage, what a lovely evening it was in their company, they are great people warm, friendly and jolly. The music of the evening was "Mama Rose" , listen to this and get the deep energy like dark matter. Both Archie and Lester was digging deep, vibrantly displaying some fantastic music.
Composed By - Grachan Moncur III Bass - Cameron Brown Drums - Beaver Harris Piano - Dave Burrell Tenor Saxophone - Archie Shepp Trombone - Charles Greenlee
No, before there was Atlantis by Sun Ra in 1969. You can't deny silence as much as this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TDdsjduZdUs.html
Yeah!!! The Koala, who happens to be very fond of the original version (with the composer himself, G. Moncur III, plus Mclean, Billy Higgins, among others: Hipnosis, Blue Note, originally an unreleased date) is surely hyptonized!! . Anyway, the tune itself is just mindboggling. Thanks, Chuck!!
