World Saxophone Quartet - London 2005

The re-vamped World Saxophone Quartet (with Bruce Williams on second alto), with the addition of Craig Harris and the rhythm section of Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Lee Pearson on drums play Jimi Hendrix... can't get much more raucous than this!

Thanks a lot to Tom_P for sharing this on dime, and for allowing me to post it here, as well!

Read an AAJ fireside chat (by Fred Jung) here.

This is another BBC Jazz on 3 re-broadcast (by listener vote) of the WSQ's tribute to
Jimi Hendrix. It has additional tracks to the original broadcast and now here it is in
an all-digital recording clarity.

It is a wonderful show that should appeal to listeners new and also, as an upgrade, to
those who got it first time round here on on Dime ...

... Enjoy!!

thanks ubu - I had not heard this before.
On the 'AAJ fireside chat', they sound mildly, rather than wildly enthusiastic about the Hendrix stuff..
And there'd have to be questions about such a singular artist becoming 'repetoire' - his tunes [as tunes] becoming part of the 'canon'?
Well, maybe. For me (carping as always) it's partly unsuccessful, but good to have heard all the same. Loved the recapturing of some of the tender sonorities of Wind Cries Mary - around 6 mins or so. It's church music!
BTW - the 2 parts above unrar to 5 tracks, 4 tunes - complete. Tracks 6 - 10 as listed above, don't appear to be there.
