Bobby Previte - 23 Constellations, Birmingham 2004

Here's a beautiful show, originaly shared on dime by Tom_P - many thanks!

23 musical miniatures, inspired by paintings of Joan Miró, and featuring a hell of a line-up, with Lew Soloff, Ralph Alessi, Ned Rothenberg, Wayne Horvitz, and Zeena Parkins, among others!

Bobby Previte himself is certainly one of the most interesting drummer/bandleaders of recent years! I've had the pleasure of hearing him live with his great "Bump the Renaissance" band some years ago.

-------------------------------------

This is a re-broadcast by listener request, of a beautiful and unusual performance
of Bobby Previte's 23 Constellations, recorded in crystal clear all-digital quality
...and at a bit rate that IS allowed - Mods please note.

I believe this may have been posted on Dime some time ago in analog form with a
tape flip somewhere so this should be of interest both to listeners new and as a
sonic upgrade for those who got it last time....Enjoy!!
