LAWRENCE "BUTCH" MORRIS - FEBRUARY 10, 1947 - JANUARY 29,2013

A premature and sad loss.

I love his cornet playing with David Murray and Frank Lowe  (The Other Side), although he has worked in many settings, including theatre, dance, TV and visual arts, and will probably be best remembered for developing his conduction of improvised music.

Here are two early recordings on Jef Gilson's Palm label, together with a later double LP with AR Penck; both great supporters.

Butch Morris, Modena (It) 2009. Folding Space, Modette and other Songs

Fake album n. 6!

Lawrence "Butch" Morris - "Folding Space: Modette & other songs"
recorded at Angelica Festival, Teatro Comunale Modena (Italy)
sunday 31 May 2009

running time 52'43" with radio intro and outro

An unusual project, purposely composed for this festival, focused on mixing the "expressionism" of Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler Hanns Eisler with written avantgarde and improvisation, adding moments of Morricone's musicality. Modette is actually a theatrical work started in 1981 based on lyrics by Allan Graubard, these are supposed to be "songs" interpolated with improvisations, but I really don't get any ideal tracksplit. Also included in the folder, marked as track 00, a short radio introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 3'35", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

Lawrence D."Butch" Morris, conduction and compositions.
Shelley Hirsch, vocals.
Shelley Burgon, harp.
Eri Yamamoto, pianoforte.
Mary Halvorson, electric guitar.
Kenny Wollesen, vibraphone and percussion.
J.A. Deane, electronics and live samplings.
