I really, really dig his writing for strings, but his piano stuff just..well.. it doesn't do it for me.

I saw your comment in another, old thread.

I don't know...I'm still trying to form an opinion. Although I'm not really crazy about the piano stuff, I'm workin' on it.

Great stuff indeed. But in my opinion you're missing some treats if you ignore Bailey's later discs. Just sticking to solo recordings after Aida:

1985 - Notes (Incus LP, never re-issued as cd, incredibly)
1986/87 - Drop me off an 96th (Scatter cd)
1994 & 2001 - In Church (Incus cd-r)
1998 - Takes Fakes & Death She Dances (Incus)
2003 - To Play (Samadhisound cd)
2005 - Carpal Tunnel (Tzadik cd)

All of these discs have really beautiful pieces. OK, it was no longer so ground-breaking, but that doesn't make it less exquisite music.

After Bailey died I spent a month listening to nothing but his solo playing, and it was a great experience. For me he was a really formative musician; 'Lot 74' was the first improv record I bought as a teenager in 1974, and I followed his work ever since. And contrary to some opinions, he didn't stay still as a musician. Though his sound was recognisably his own 30-odd years on, his extraordinary openness to new collaborations & younger players kept his music fresh right to the end. I didn't like all his collaborations, but their unpredictability kept me on my toes. And, to return to the solos, IMO 'Carpal Tunnel' is as moving as any disc I can think of; I can hardly bear to play it. It is inseparable from its biographical context, and has a unique, forlorn beauty.

Ha!


Lot 74 was maybe my third Bailey disc...


I didn't mean to imply that Derek didnt create works of beauty after 1981...far from it. He did, very much so..But there came a time when I'd heard it before. That's my problem not baileys..

I did the same thing after he died..Lot 74, guitar solos 1 and 2..Aida..Takes Fakes Dead She Dances..

christina kubisch - on air



die schachtel cassette reissue, without multimedia. electronic/ vocal parts on 'speak and spell' are particularly cheesy for my likings, but 'listen to the walls' got my attention, it's more disorienting and reminds me of jaap/ratkje interaction on improvisers a bit, albeit automatic writing-whispery & overmanipulated. installation pieces are a little boring.
