Colin Stetson | A Take Away Show | Part 2
If ever there was a time to not write about music and to simply listen, this is it. Colin Stetson's horns are played with an absolute and uncompromising authority. His accomplishments and collaborations are many and considerable. His discipline is unrelenting. He plays here alone in his home, a man at work to create a powerful orchestra of tones, a hydra-headed sound only to be experienced, not to be described.

3:25 I had chills for a solid 60 seconds straight. You get so invested in what he’s trying to do, and impossible mountain to climb in order to create his art.

And to put my money where my mouth is: check out Hamiet Bluiett, Pharoah Sanders, Sainkho Namtchylak, Gyuto chant, Peter Brotzmann, Hukwe Ubi Zawose, Ken Vandermark, Ned Rothenberg, Evan Parker, Akosh S., Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Koaru Abe, David S. Ware, Inuit throat singing, Julius Hemphill, polyphonic Pygmy music, Tuvan throat singing, Master Musicians of Joujouka, Kecak chant, and so on. A lot of what he's doing has ancient lineage in terms of tonal/vocal production.

@smile21jonno no way. that would ruin the appeal! it's raw, visceral, controlled yet free. he can hold it all with one sound, multiple voices.

@kbakster 13 жыл бұрын

saw him yesterday with godspeed you! black emperor and i must say it was probably one of the most interesting opening acts i've ever seen. after each song he was always out of breath. i don't really get the circular breathing technique but whatever it is, it's ridiculous

@Oneiricist Except it's not the "how" sound is being produced, but the execution. Much of free-jazz/improv etc isn't very approachable (dare I say even listenable). What's amazing is that his sound is relevant, cogent and engaging.

@sugasugaki I agree that a lot of free jazz is an acquired taste. But honestly, almost thirty years ago Ned Rothenberg was executing through-composed solos that sound eerily similar to a lot of Stetson's work. Plus the list I gave is what I would think is at the more approachable end (Parker, Brotzmann, Abe, and Ware excepted) of non-Western/-traditional acoustic exploration. And it's certainly all listenable, unless my endorphins are lying to me. I'm sure Stetson would agree.

@freejazzfree .. well now Colin is doing it, and people like it, so maybe you should add him to your nerdy list.

@kuboaadv Agreed, really all music requires repeated exposure to understand and appreciate. When we all grow up surrounded by the same pop structures, instrumentation, and chord changes, we don't notice it. But imagine what those dudes playing Jojouka or Gamelan music think of Beyonce or Slayer. Hell, Miles Davis thought Ornette Coleman was a lunatic in the late 50s, and 12 years later he did Live Evil. It was noisy-as-hell free jazz that helped me appreciate death metal... You never know.

So what man, I listen to those guys, and I like Stetson as well, there's no need to put down what people like, at least some folks are getting into interesting music, we should celebrate musicianship rather than putting it down!

@sugasugaki Also, and not to berate, but isn't "relevant, cogent and engaging" just a more elaborate way of saying "good"? Is good music (or art for that matter) ever not those three things?

Great playing, but I have misgivings about the novelty effect of hearing this guy open for Arcade Fire, everyone getting their chance to feel a little "avant-garde-y," without the slightest appreciation of the huge store of under-recognized jazz/folk/improv traditions that inform his playing. In other words, he's liable to end up being the token "serious music" guy among a bunch of people who couldn't care less, just so avant-jazz can hang out with the popular kids.
