The Nites Of Ballads & Blues
Deer Head Inn, Delware Water Gap , Pa. 7 to 11.
Sweet Sue Terry & Tim Price reeds & woodwinds...
with Bill Goodwin- drums, Rachel Z - piano, bass -tba
This will be a nice Saturday nite gig with Sue & I getting into some
blues and ballads. I'll be playing ballads like " Angel Eyes" - tenor
or " Memorys Of You"- clarinet , " Fair Weather" -bari sax ( by Kenny
Dorham ) and " Dark Star " on bass clarinet and " You Leave Me
Breathless" - bassoon. Just to bait your ears
Other ~blues~ things Sue and I will hit are Jr Cat by Art Pepper, "
Pee Wees Blues" < by Pee Wee Russell > as well as _MANY_others , plus
my tune " ****d Truth".
It's going to a fun nite, in a real jazz club.
Drummer Bill Goodwin is one of my favorite people and drummers and
everyone knows him from his years with Phil Woods, Tom Waits, Art
Pepper and Gary Burton to mention a few.
The nights of ballads and blues. See ya there.
FWIW-
yes " DARK STAR" ...is the "Dark Star" by the Grateful Dead. It was
written by lyricist Robert Hunter and composed by Jerry Garcia
however, compositional credit is sometimes extended to include Phil
Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, the late Ron "Pigpen" McKernan,
and Bob Weir.
My deal with this tune is pretty complex, from a conception point of
departure. lyrics occupy only a small ****tion of the song's running
time, they set a mood that strongly evokes the era: Reason tatters /
Forces tear loose from the axis / Shall we go / You and I while we
can? / Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds.
"Dark Star" defines the Dead's improvisational music. Garcia and Bob
Weir interchanged guitar solos that were as free as anything in jazz,
from the delicate through the chaotic to the powerful.
"Dark Star", over time, had changed in the way it was performed.
NEVER THE SAME !!!!!!!!
For me it has the _call & responce_ of a great ~open~style jazz
ballad.
Like Trane or Dolphy etc etc playing NIAMA or Dear Lord. Stop by and
get some lunch for your ears....not often will you hear Pee Wee
Russell tunes and Art Pepper with Jerry Garcia!! It's all good....C-U-
there.
