thankyou for such an indepth article about Dewey...so great to read things l didn,t know..and never read so much info on him..long overdue...wanted to let you know besides IN DEW TIME..and GUANTANMO BLUES...Dewey was on mybrecording SPIRITUALS AND DEDICATIONS....along side pianist Stanley Cowell...a special recording..thankyou again for your work.
Hi Larry - Very nice to hear from you. Thank you for the kind words. Yes! That is also a killer album. Some terrific playing on it throughout. Lord, have mercy!
Dewey Redman's life cannot be captured in a single telling. There's no way to give each album the weight it deserves. What can be done is to be faithful in spirit and try to find your way to the heart of the man. I always try to do that.
Beautiful stuff, as always. I'm curious if anyone has any info on Eddie Moore, the drummer on Ear of The Behearer. His playing has this crisp crackling energy that I really love.
I saw Old & New Dreams in 1978. I didn't know Ornette's music at the time, but was a fan of Don Cherry ever since hearing his albums, Relativity Suite and Brown Rice. I also hadn't yet heard the Liberation Music Orchestra, but was familiar with Robert Wyatt's cover of Song for Che, as well as Hugh Hopper's cover of Lonely Woman.I have very little memory of the gig apart from Cherry playing piano more than he did his horn.
Mindblowingly extensive knowledge on your subjects, that's why I read and save your articles. They are really almost as complete as books. I love music in all of its forms, but the love of music is just as important. Thank you for all you do!
So many great Texans horn players in jazz history, like Redman, Coleman, Herschel Evans, Illinois Jacquet, Jimmy Giuffre, Booker Ervin, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, David "Fathead" Newman, Budd Johnson, Julius Hemphill, Prince Lasha, John Carter, and, of course, you, my friend.
And that's just some of them, not to mention the trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar players, and drummers...

Thanks for sharing. Amazing story.

Try to find the quad version of Liberation Music Orchestra; it is a different mix, so it doesn't command any limited edition premiums as a result.

That's very kind of you, Colleen.
Thanks for this. So many reasons I loved Dewey’s playing.
