Ornette!

Many, many years ago I premiered a work of his, "The Sacred Mind of Johnny Dolphin," it was a trumpet concerto. I am going to try to get in touch with him. This work should be part of our repertoire rather than sitting in a drawer somewhere.

Re: Ornette!

Wilbur,

That's sounds great....



I guess Lew Soloff also performed the piece a few years after you did.

I always liked Skies of America. I saw Ornette a few years ago, well i guess more than a few, in 1999 or 2000, perform one of his orchestral pieces in a concert in Battery Park. the concert also had Ornette playing in a trio with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins. It was a great concert.

Please let us know, if you will be performing the piece anytime soon, or where we could purchase a copy of the music.

Mr. Ed

That's great about Ornette getting a Pulitzer. If only Coltrane and Mingus had lived longer. It's about time some people start to get some recognition. Sound Garden was awesome.

Re: Ornette!

What made this music seem so interminably self-indulgent were not the flights of imagination or the chance meetings of harmony and contrapuntal line, but, instead, the depressing freedom of it all. How inspiring can be the insight of the moment, the leap into something new, but such conscious capitulation to chaos as this appeared ultimately an act of laziness, not creation.

Wilmer,
Just curious....did you find this to be the case with the piece?

That's not a review of the BPO performance. The Brooklyn Philharmonic performance was in 1984, not 1987.
Ornette was re-working the piece up to the performance. He had Marvin"Smitty"Smith play twice as fast as the conducted pulse. They opted for amplification of the strings because of the power of the percussion.
I found it an interesting work.
Wilmer

Wilmer...This was a review of the Lou Soloff performance of "The Sacred Mind of Johnny Dolphin,". I was just curious about your opinion of the piece itself...thanks
