I once asked Jamal how he liked playing with Derek Bailey on these sessions and he responded with a big laugh and told me, "man, he didn't play a single melody". We laughed and shook hands goodnight. That was right after seeing him play with Calvin Weston (also in this Mirakle session) backing up James "Blood" Ulmer. I love the free rock. ✌🤘power to the motherfucking freedom for all people!

play this at my funeral

[@danielwa4819]

nobody will show up

[@skullcrusher6]

Okay but you have to transcribe it

[@ryandubois4488]

This is the most chaotic I have ever heard Derek Bailey get. It's a very different vibe than I am used to. Thanks for posting.

[@lilufo8340]

Who knew derek bailey could groove like this? Great Album.

[@deathblowtb]

this is truth music

[@mtkuhn100]

agreed

[@agamhamzah2924]

Derek Bailey is opening new way for improvisation, love it.

[@syaoranoni54326]

This is brilliant. I didn't even realise this was the rhythm section from the Prime Time band, even though I knew it sounded familiar. I love this kind of free improvisation, and Derek Bailey is a pretty brutal guitarist.

[@letmegoletmego]

I hope my friends will understand.

[@syaoranoni54326]

they won't

[@user-rd4zj1ff9u]

Great revolution , my i dol , Derek Bailey !!

[@qrorchestra]

A masterpiece.

[@tollbridge8063]

First time hearing Derek. This guy doesn't hold back. A beautifully savage art!

[@kyotojoel]

Derek Bailey is the grandfather of outside guitar. Check out his work with Anthony Braxton too.

[@marSLaZZ66]

Calvin!!

[@stephenjames4937]

What I like about this is that sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't, and they go with it anyway. I have to admire such adventurous spirits, though, and a record company that makes it available to a public that would rather listen to plastic waffle..

[@filas312]

obviously it's Tzadik, cause Zorn must be doing enough bucks to sponsor whatever he wants

[@inipersonini]

YES!

THE GATES OF HELL VIOLENTLY SWING OPEN AT 9:18 !!

[@josephbrown9699]

.......alright,,,who the hell let Derek in again"

[@lessthanpinochet]

It sounds like Derek Bailey was a huge influence on Greg Ginn from Black Flag

[@lilufo8340]

Wouldn't shock me at all, Greg's playing reminded me the most of Sonny Sharrock though.

[@dennislee735]

That is the shit sounds like the groove dogs

[@mshioty]

Has Derek Bailey ever hit a wrong note on his guitar?

[@zdunas23]

he only hits wrong notes - that's his style lol

[@mshioty]

he's definitely a very talented guitar player,
'Improvisation: Its Nature and Practice in Music by Derek Bailey'
In the non-improvisor, particularly the straight player, there is no sign of the instrumental impulse. One reason why the standard Western Instrumental training produces non-improvisors (and it doesn't just produce violinists, pianists, cellists, etc.: it produces specifically non- improvisors, musicians rendered incapable of attempting improvisation) is that not only does it teach how to play an instrument, it teaches that the creation of music is a separate activity from playing the instrument. [In other words,] learning how to create music is a [process] totally divorced from playing an instrument. Music for the instrumentalist is a set of written symbols which he interprets as best he can. They, the symbols, are the music, and the man who wrote them, the composer, is the music-maker. The instrument is the medium through which the composer finally transmits his ideas. The instrumentalist is not required to make music. He can assist with his 'interpretation' perhaps, but, judging from most reported remarks on the subject, composers prefer the instrumentalist to limit his contribution to providing the instrument, keeping it in tune, and being able to use it to carry out, as accurately as possible, any instruction which might be given to him.
The improvisor’s view of the instrument is totally different.

[@sumoblues]

in perpetuity ad nauseum. genius!!!

[@gadjodistrada9170]

gosh osh ostras...

[@josephbrown9699]

I'm trying so so hard to see past ones initial reaction.....but it is so damn hard!!! All I can picture is a kid who's trying to get attention or is extremely pissed and is trying to screw with the other musicians

[@callumsutherland2954]

Try the book _A Listener's Guide to Free Improvisation_ by John Corbett -- it descibes literally how to get past one's initial reaction, inevitably one of aversion, to this kind of music, and to hear the artistry and the beauty which lies beneath it.

[@Matt-xe9dj]

is this... ? um... what?

[@hklinker]

Good.

[@JudgeShred84]

That was glorious nonsense - but what the hell was the bass player doing? I got an impression of technical ability, musicality and general competence that was just a bit out there for me.

[@chrisisland7792]

ILLUMINATIS !
