ROIO of the Week [Recordings of Indeterminate Origin]

For the month of January, we honor the late Derek Bailey’s works with music as alien to you as it was intimate to him. Not a bit of wall paper.

DEREK BAILEY R.I.P.

Derek Bailey & John Zorn
Live At Tonic 2001 [no label, 1CD]

Here's an interesting setting with Derek Bailey and a quartet of old and new players. John Zorn [alt sax] and Joey Baron [drums] are from the New York scene of intense punk jazz while Reggie Workman [bs] belongs to the Coltrane, Blakey and Archie Shepp fraternity. Here's a short set in a small club, Tonic's in New York city on December 15, 2001. All the music is improvised, hence no titles. This is just the first set. If jazz means Kenny G, please note he's not here.
