“The announcer of France Musique tell us that this is the first concert of a short three-day tour. Next are Venice and Yugoslavia
(no location) and it’s Marilyn who replaces George Lewis (can’t make the tour for a death in his family). ... I was not aware
of that, what a great surprise for me sir. ... It’s only the second set plus encore.” —Eddy Janssens

Forces in Motion
Graham Lock: “At the end of my interview with Gerry [Hemingway] I asked him if there was any incident or anecdote
about playing with Braxton that he’d like to relate. The following story, from the quartet’s late-1983 European tour—the
line-up is Braxton, Crispell, Hemingway, Lindberg—is, he says, ‘the most wonderful anecdote I could tell about how
crazy the road can get.’”
Hemingway: “The story begins in Yugoslavia. The quartet have played at a jazz festival and been paid in Yugoslavian
currency—dinars—which they’ve arranged to take to their tour promoter in Switzerland and exchange for dollars. There
are two minor problems: one, they have first to travel from Belgrade to Milan to Venice for their next gig, taking their
dinars with them . . . ”
—Above is the earliest reference I’ve found to the formation of this landmark Quartet, and you should buy the Lock
book so you can read the rest of that story. —RL

—Broadcast Recording is complate and has track at 37:48 + applause.
—Guthartz at restructures.net had “December 5 or 7.”
“Paul Smoker wrote some nice statements on that show in [Graham Lock’s] Mixtery,
page 92. The date December 7 could be wrong. Smoker said that AB went one day
after the show to Ludwigsburg to make a solo recording. This one is recorded on
December 6 (Sound Aspects)! So our show must be ... on December 5. A second
gig of Comp 98 Smoker mentioned ‘occurs a couple of days later.’ ... Mysteries
everywhere.” —Timo Hoyer
“The solution of the mysteries: Composition 98 was performed twice, on December
5 and on December 7! The performances were part of a festival ‘Music on 49th—
From Composition to Improvisation’ (in German: Musik auf dem 49ten—Von der
Komposition zur Improvisation). Manfred Reichert, the organizer, wanted two
different performances, but Anthony Braxton decided to play Composition 98 twice
(as he remarked, the performances would be different). The second performance
lasted about 10 minutes, when the sheets on the piano fell down. ... Crispell couldn’t
sort them again, so this performance was in fact an improvisation—just as Manfred
Reichert wanted!” —Gerd Fink, Karlsruhe

On The Edge
“On The Edge explores the experience and the sounds of grieving. It opens with Dylan Thomas’ ‘Do Not Go Gentle
Into That Good Night,’ where the grown child speaks to the father who is dying. An intense improvisation for voice,
drums, and piano follows. It leads without a break into a fierce declamation of ‘A Otro Joel’ by Joel Filartiga. Filartiga
is a doctor, artist, and independent dissident in Paraguay whose eighteen-year-old son was tortured to death.
This became an important international case when the torturer was captured in the United States and brought to trial,
setting a precedent that established torture as a crime against humanity. In the poem, Filartiga addresses his son, with
longing for the life that might have been, and utter conviction in the struggle against man-made wrongs and the bearers
of death and nothingness.” —From the liners
“Quite playful, weird, and mad. The recorded sound is excellent.” —Music Tokyo Company.

From this point on, when I encounter this quartet doing that Braxton thing that they were known for—combining and weaving
and tacking together different compositions to form new patterns and configurations—I account for my inability to identify these
bits and pieces by assigning “compositions thread” to the track. If anyone familiar with Braxton’s methods and compositions
from this period would be willing to give a listen and try to identify these for me, please let me know. —RL
—New York Magazine June 25, 1984 p.83 had this incorrectly listed for the 25th.

Marilyn was in much of the pre-publicity for an Alice Coltrane gig on this date—a “John Coltrane Commemoration”
at Carnegie Recital Hall in New York City. New York Magazine (September 24, 1984 p.140) and the New York New
Amsterdam News (Sep 22 p.28), among others, said that Marilyn Crispell would be playing piano with the group,
failing to note that she was actually opening with a solo set. (The actual event personnel was Alice Coltrane, Sam
Rivers, Reggie Workman, and Rashied Ali.) In addition, New York Magazine had Roy Haynes credited pre-concert,
and Stephen Holden in The New York Times (Sep 23 p.64) referred to “Mr. Haynes” as the drummer late in his article
after noting Ali as the drummer to begin. —RL

Serving Notice
“When I finally did meet Eric Andersen, in New York City’s blues club Tramps in the early ’80s, I still thought of him
as a sixties folk troubadour. I wanted to talk about “Violets Of Dawn.” He wanted to talk about African rhythms, jazz
pianists, the fine points of blues intonation, and a film-scoring project he was working on that entailed writing for a
combination of Middle Eastern instruments and European symphony orchestra. The score was for the Belgian film,
“Istanbul,” starring Brad Dourif. Its sweeping string lines (recorded by the string players of the Belgian Symphony
Orchestra) and overlay of Turkish stringed and percussion instruments served notice that Eric’s musical sensibility
was wide-ranging, complete in itself, and utterly beyond category.” —Robert Palmer

—A radio program featuring a live interview, Ms. Crispell playing live solo piano, and playing selections from tapes and albums.
—Track 1 is introduced as a Crispell and Doug James duet, “After the Rain,” which it is clearly not: “Burundi” is played without
the 2:11 Billy Bang violin solo intro. The track is also followed by the same misidentification, so this circulating recording may

As Well He Should Be
Gerry Hemingway writes:
“May 16, 1985—It is mid-afternoon on a summer’s day and John Lindberg and I knock on Anthony’s door
at our hotel in Madrid to see if he’s interested in seeing the most glaring local color, a bullfight. Naturally
he is disgusted with our invitation.”

Halle to Ljubljana is a considerable distance.” —Helpful correspondence from Kevin White, 03.01.22

Making Do
Gerry Hemingway writes:
“June 26, 1985—It is late in the night after a long day of train travel. The quartet is to perform at the Alabamahalle
in Munich on a concert that begins after midnight. On this tour circumstances and free-jazz economies have obliged
Mark Dresser to make do with whatever the promoter shows up with calling a bass. Tonight’s instrument has no end
pin, so Mark, no stranger to necessity, has spent most of his evening carving a facsimile out of a cut-off broomstick
with his Swiss Army knife. The floor of the dressing room is littered with wood chips.
All of us are exhausted after two months of travel. Anthony seems completely spent, at the end of his rope, fed up
with the impoverished circumstances he now finds himself in after so many years of prodigious creative work.”
[Entry in Mixtery: a festschrift for Anthony Braxton p.102, edited by Graham Lock, Stride Publications ©1995]
Gerry Hemingway writes:
“It seems to take forever for us to be called on stage, but finally the Pink Floyd film that was screened in the same hall
as our concert comes to an end. We’ve had a hard time imagining that anyone would show up to see us in what feels
like such an inappropriate venue and performance time. Indeed the lighting in the hall is such that you cannot see what
audience is there, so it feels even more like a vacuum as we launch into ‘105B.’”

Alabamahalle, Seen Better Days
“This was an unusual concert of this great quartet in many ways. It was sort of the closing act for a pop-film festival
happening at the Alabamahalle Munich, and I still think the organizers had NO idea whom they had got for this. The
[film festival] happened during two evenings (June 25 and 26) and absolutely no advertising for this special concert
took place. Accidentially I heard of it and went there around 11:00pm, since this was the scheduled starting time.
The entrance guy was startled: ‘NOW you come, when it’s all over!’ he said. After my reply, that there still was the
concert to happen, he said, okay, I should pay around $2.00 entrance, not the regular 10 or 12, since I did miss all the
films. The concert actually started 12:30am, for 2 hours including break, so there were two sets. And for the exact date,
it really was the early morning of June 27. Plus, not Gerry Hemingway, but Mark Johnson was announced on drums.
Back then, I had only an old Panasonic mono cassette tape recorder with built-in microphone, so the recording was
not first class then. Soon later, I stored it on reeltape where it sat until Carville remembered me about it... After some
digital optimization, the muddy sound could be spiffed up a little—still, I think it’s a collectors’ item. I love it for the
story behind, but also for the steaming music.

himself to ‘brighten them up!’ Luckily, this was caught at proof stage and Leo
agreed to reprint the booklets in the correct colours before the set was released.
As far as I know, all of the incorrect copies were destroyed and I have the only

it may be worth putting this on record.”

West Wind: The Judgement
“German promoter Ulli Blobel, owner of the West Wind and ITM labels, has lost his longstanding contractual dispute with reedsman Anthony Braxton. A judge in Dusseldorf, West Germany, has ruled that Blobel did not have a valid contract to release ‘The Coventry Concert’ and other Braxton recordings released on West Wind. He also ruled that, contrary to Blobel’s claims, the Coventry release was taken from a copy rather than the original master tape, and that Blobel was responsible for paying all musicians’ fees. Under German law, Blobel is also liable for all legal costs.”

“On its first time out in public, Workman’s quartet reached a level of collective involvement one listens for in
long-established ensembles. In no small part, this was due to the quality of Workman’s compositions, which
shunned conventional song forms, avoided modal and harmonic dead ends, and permitted an admirable equity
between ensemble and soloists. Crispell, familiar to followers of the jazz avant garde for her work with Anthony
Braxton, was a revelation in this relatively more traditional setting.”

“[The quartet had] the same personnel since 1985, with one fluctuation along the way where David Rosenboom replaced
Marilyn for one tour.” —Gerry Hemingway

—The CD release omits ten of the selections that are on the LP:

—No reason given for the exclusion of Act II, Scene IV, missing from
all versions of the recording.
—From the liners: “Crispell created the violin part [9], and the synth
trombone quartet for [18], and others.”
“I used a DX-7 and a Prophet and did an intro of about two minutes. It was
a space thing, pulses, then a really wild Sun Ra organ solo. I loved it, but of
course they didn’t use it. It’s on file somewhere in the studio.
As long as someone was there to do the programming it was fine. Basically,
though, I’m not into wires and knobs. I’d only be interested in getting very
pure electronic sounds, not simulated violins.”
—Brian Morton interview with Marilyn Crispell, The WIRE
Marilyn Crispell: “I met Ed Sanders in the Post Office one day, and he
asked me to do some transcribing and arranging.”
—Conversation with RL

—This date is included as a recording session (along with 89.02.03 + 02.04) for the Leo Records CD The Kitchen Concert, but none
of the tracks are taken from this first date.
—The Roulette Archival Recording is unavailable—the sound file posted for this date at roulette.org is in fact the 89.02.03 session.
—“I manage the Roulette Audio Archive. I found the source tapes and there are indeed three separate recordings. The duplicate
recording is almost certainly 3 Feb 1989. Apparently, someone decided that since it was the same program each night, it was not
necessary to process all three (a bad decision). Furthermore, the recordings are in an archaic PCM-Digital format and will be some
trouble to investigate. So for now we cannot check the 2 Feb concert.” —David Weinstein, Roulette Director of Special Projects

—“I’d just like to announce a small change in the order of the pieces on the program. We’ re going to do ‘Falling,” ‘Solstice,’
‘What of it I refuse awakes the wide-eyed stone,’ ‘Alchemy,’ ‘Night Light Beach,’ ‘For L.T.,’ ‘Ahmadu,’ and ‘Three Poems
for Cecil Taylor’” —Marilyn Crispell
—The Kitchen Concert has “Ahmadu/Sierra Leone,” an excerpt of the beginning of the composition. The ending of the track
at 8:14 on the Leo Records CD corresponds with the 95:20 mark on the Roulette sound-file (7:00 into the composition and
53:16 into the Trio set which follows a Butch Morris Ensemble set that ends at 42:04). It resolves as an eight-second fadeout
of a tacked-on echoing piano/bass/drum figure; the actual trio performance at this point has Hemingway switching from drum
set to African balafon. —RL

September, 1990
From a photo Session for The WIRE magazine #80, October 1990, which appeared on the inside back cover.
Caption: “wire to go!”, and there’s Marilyn, with knife and fork, attacking a plate-full of The WIRE magazines.
“Gourmet pianist Marilyn Crispell tucks in to her latest Wire back issue. She knows that regular helpings
of the world’s tastiest...”
And so on. —RL
My wife and I put this image on a pair of T-shirts which we wore to Marilyn’s 02.09.07 (1) and 02.09.07 (2) gigs
at the 2002 GUELPH Jazz Festival. She liked it just fine. So much so that we sent her one later. —Rick Lopez

“I started volunteering down there in late 1990 (age 18), after catching the AACM
25th Anniversary after fest jam sessions there. The night that Marilyn’s trio played,
I did the FOH sound/monitor mix and one of the other guys made a board
recording to cassette. Many of the Southend gigs were recorded in this manner,
but the whereabouts of those master tapes are unknown. At one point, I had a
bunch of dubs of various shows, ... but they were all lost or taped over eventually.
I don’t recall very much specific about the gig beyond the trio playing either one
or two set-length free improvisations. They were great. It was inspired. I feel like
Marilyn’s piano was stage right, Workman in the middle and Hemingway on
stage left.” —Weasel Walter

—Broadcast Recording is the excerpted final 33:33 of the Audience Recording.
—There has been some confusion between tapes as a result of there being two duo concerts on consecutive nights at same venue.
Brian Morton announcement at the end of the recording: “Marilyn Crispell, piano, and Anthony Braxton, reeds and flute, ending
that set recorded last Saturday [93.05.22] in the Bloomsbury Theatre at a special Impressions event organised as part of the
inaugural London Jazz Festival.”
“There were 2 concerts, ... the 22 May and 23 May.” [Timo Hoyer 03.11.03]
“I can only tell you that we played a duo concert after Anthony played with Evan on the same day.” [Marilyn Crispell 03.02.06]
—John Fordham writes in the introductory line to his contribution to Mixtery: a festschrift for Anthony Braxton (p.180-181, including
a short concert review): “This review of AB’s duo concerts with Evan Parker and Marilyn Crispell at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre
on 23 May 1993 first appeared in The Guardian (May 26).”
Also, Fordham writes “Anthony Braxton and Marilyn Crispell’s weekend performances [plural] were always going to be among
the unmissable events of the London Jazz Festival’s final days.”
—This set “included the Joe Gallivan Big Band,” as part of this May 22 double-bill. Huddersfield Daily Examiner (May 29)

—The Martinelli Discography concurs with the above track listings.
“‘The index points are provided for convenience only, and are not indications of divisions in the works.’ (from the inlay card) ...
The index point on the first [CD] is placed at the end of the drum solo at 38:58, on the second it occurs in the middle of another
drum solo at 39:11. I do not understand what kind of convenience they could give to the listener. Timings above are my estimate
confirmed by fellow Braxton-listers.” —Martinelli

“That’s why I enjoyed working with Anthony Braxton. He presented his group with an abundance of written material.
There was definitely an emphasis on structure, yet there was still room for self-expression. I felt as though I could
express myself freely while doing justice to Anthony’s intentions as a composer. That’s what’s important to me—
finding that balance between composition and improvisation, pre-planning and spontaneity.”

—“‘Ghosts of Reason’ was a composition ... commissioned originally for Anthony Davis’ Episteme ensemble in the early 90’s.
This performance was a further evolution of the piece reconfigured for a special quintet project that was only performed this
one time in NYC at Merkin Hall [along with ‘Third Landscape: A Suite in Three Parts’]. ... This performance, combined with
an afternoon recording session, was produced as a CD by Gerry Hemingway which has never been released.”

“Imaginary Landscape No. 5 (1952) was John Cage’s first work for magnetic tape, employing ‘chance’ procedures
in a pre-determined fashion using block-graph notation. Each block on the score equals three inches of tape, equivalent
to one-fifth of a second. There are a total of eight simultaneous tracks made from any forty-two phonograph records.
Duration and amplitude (volume) are notated for each of the forty-two records, but there is no indication of what the
records should be. It is the performer of the score, rather than the composer, who finally determines what the content
will be. The only basic contribution that Cage provides is how the records are to be used. The finished tape is a fixed
and unalterable object. ... Cage’s compositional process was based on the I-Ching, a Chinese symbol system designed
to identify order in what seem like chance events. The philosophy centers on the ideas of the dynamic balance of
opposites, the evolution of events as process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change.” —Justin R. Stolarik
“Yes, I did (interpret) the title Imaginary Landscape No. 5 by John Cage for this CD-Production some years ago.
As it’s written in the booklet, I use several CDs from HAT HUT Records as ‘material.’ The parts are overlapped and
recorded (like written in the score) on a 24-track DASH-Multitrack tape recorder in an accidental form. The mix from
all the parts results in the piece with the length of 1:31.” —Peter Pfister

Crispois
“Vancouver clarinetist Francois Houle asked me to compose a duo for him and Marilyn to play on the CD they did together,
Any Terrain Tumultuous on Red Toucan. So I wrote a piece called “Crispois.” The piece didn’t end up on the CD because
they felt the recording was too sloppy and they weren’t able to get it into enough shape given the amount of rehearsal time.
It is a very difficult virtuoso piece that includes a lot of improvisation. ... To my knowledge it has never been performed publicly. The score is available through Frog Peak Music (www.frogpeak.org/fpartists/fpasplund.html).”

Three Pieces for Orchestra also included “Owed to J.S.” and “Strange Loops,” sans Marilyn:
“‘Owed to J.S.’ was ‘in the can’ in two wonderful takes; the exquisite ‘Sleeping Furiously’ must have needed between
20 and 30 takes; Strange Loops a mere four. ... All sorts of things went wrong during the recording of Sleeping Furiously
—a door banging somewhere, an instrument falling over, Paul Rutherford calling a halt to proceedings with the exclamation
‘Shit!!! I’ve played a G sharp instead of a G!,’ Paul Dunmall being too low in the mix, the front-stage microphone not being
switched on for a solo, discussions over where the band could find a convenient break from which to pick up, and lots, lots
more. ... Although Marilyn doesn’t feature on ‘Strange Loops,’ of course, she does provide a source material for Maggie
Nicols’ performance with her set of ‘Three Poems for Cecil Taylor.’”
THREE POEMS FOR CECIL TAYLOR
1) ferocious women giving birth
to little bird feet
dancing until they become
a great piano concerto,
dancing up through the last ceiling.
2) silent tongues
black and luminous
shuttle-shivering cries tap-dancing
down the streets of Brooklyn—
your songs
brilliant dissonances
breaths sucked into the incongruous clubs
explode
are spit out like fire
as our tongues lap up the burning air.
3) and your ivory voice sings
breaking like fragile cartilage
in the clear air
of points wing/ed and pure
beating, colliding in subtle counterpoint—
crossings—
birds fly between here and there
singing furiously in delicate tongues.
© Marilyn Crispell
“I must have asked Marilyn for a copy of these poems at the time of the LJCO’s 25th Anniversary Festival in Zurich

1996 : : : Marilyn Crispell & Bob Ostertag Collaboration
“Another sampling collaboration Bob has underway is with Marilyn Crispell and an instrument called the Disk Clavier.
This is a grand piano with a digital file which records the motion of the keys and can subsequently repeat a performance
autonomously in the manner of a player-piano.
[Ostertag:] ‘They’ve been around for a while, but it’s a kind of novelty item because they’re incredibly expensive. They
haven’t quite worked out what to do with them. I think what they had in mind was that extremely wealthy people could
put them in their living rooms and instead of playing a CD of someone playing Bach, they could buy a digital file and
actually have the concert in their living room. So Marilyn’s recorded a series of improvisations into one of these and then
I’m taking the file and rehashing it.’
A two CD set is planned—one of Marilyn’s improvisations and one of Ostertag’s re-workings of her material. This will
then be transcribed for performance by a live piano ensemble and can also work as a gallery installation with the piece
being performed in a ghost-like fashion by the Disk Clavier.”
“From ‘The Sampler on Trial’ (Resonance 5.1 1996 pp.14-15). ... From Phil England’s article on Bob Ostertag based on
an interview following Bob’s performance at the ICA, London, that year.” —Kevin White, 02.09.24

—“Clarinettist/scholar Don Byron is widely recognized as a truly original musical thinker,
known for his impeccably-executed forays into wide-ranging musical styles. On Friday
night, Byron visits the early swing era, performing the music of Brooklyn’s own Raymond
Scott, a 1930s composer whose tunes are familiar to millions who have heard his melodies
in classic Warner Brothers cartoons; John Kirby, an underrated small band leader and
composer of the 1930s; and early compositions of Duke Ellington that show a younger,
wilder side of the jazz legend. Pianist and composer Marilyn Crispell opens with a solo
performance.” —from the program

The music was so beautiful that I went to talk with her at the end of the concert as: ‘Your music is so great that I
propose to record it (’cause I’m sound engineer) if you agree, for pleasure,’ blablabla, etc. I was really deeply
moved, probably I can’t hide it. She was happy, she said OK and, from this time, I record her each date I can.”

“In ‘97 Lotte Anker formed a new group, ‘Sine Die’ with piano player Marilyn Crispell, trumpet player Arve Henriksen,
bassist Anders Jormin, and drummer Raymond Strid.” [www.kulturverket.com/lotte/anker.html]
Close, but no cigar:
"Sine Die was ‘my project’ playing my music + a lot of improv of course. ... Per Jorgensen was originally in the line-up but had
some years where he didn’t tour because of family, etc., so we played with Arve whom I have done different things with through
the years. We also did a recording (which was never released) with Arve”
[Lotte Anker correspondence with KC White, 05.12.06 + 12.07]
Lotte Anker compositions for Sine Die include “Salute,” “Fragments 1+2,” “Battlefield” and “Cyclic Sight Song.” Trio versions
of all compositions except “Fragments 1+2” are also to be found on the Lotte Anker/Marilyn Crispell/Marilyn Mazur CD Poetic
Justice [See 00.08.22 + 08.23]; “Now when I think more about the old ‘Sine Die Days’ I remember that we actually also played
a couple of Anders Jormin’s tunes.”

—The out-of-date website www.kulturverket.com/lotte/anker.html erroneously lists an Anker/Crispell/Mazur recording,
Live at the Round Tower under “Releases in ’99.” The Chicago Reader (Sep 23, 1999) has “the forthcoming” for the title
in an announcement for a 99.09.27 gig.
—“Live at the Round Tower doesn’t exist, unfortunately. There is a mastertape from that concert and it was supposed to be released
on Ninth World Music (Danish label) but in the meantime Dacapo came in over and the Round Tower concert was ‘put on hold.’ ...
But maybe one day. ... The Round Tower concert was recorded by and broadcast in The Danish Radio.” —Lotte Anker

Amaryllis
The four pieces that Ms. Crispell calls “free ballads.” As she pointed out: “They’re completely free, and the interesting
thing is that they’re in what could be called a more traditional harmonic setting than I usually work in. We had to be
very psychically in tune to improvise together in that tonal area.”
The ballads came about at the suggestion of her producer, Manfred Eicher, the German impresario who runs ECM, at a
tense moment in the session, which took place last year at Avatar Studios in midtown Manhattan. For what seemed like
the hundredth time, Mr. Peacock stopped playing while the tape was rolling. His mind was elsewhere, fixated on a broken
pipe in his house that he feared might flood, and the tendinitis in his hand was acting up. He lit a cigarette and paced
about the room. Ms. Crispell was almost in tears. (“This recording has taken 10 years off my life,” she said.) The only
one keeping his cool was Mr. Motian, a short, bald man with a wrestler’s build who looks a bit like Alan Arkin.
“This is not going to work unless you’re playing together,” Mr. Eicher said from the control room. At times the session
felt like group therapy led by Mr. Eicher. When the playing was inspired, he rewarded the musicians with praise; when it
wasn’t, he retreated into silence, like a father withholding love from his children. Now that the dialogue had broken down,
the musicians needed encouragement, advice, something. Addressing Mr. Peacock, he said: “Gary, how about a bass solo
now? Are your hands O.K.?” Mr. Peacock nodded yes. Mr. Eicher again: “Let’s try doing a slow piece, a free ballad, with
Gary as the leading voice.”
Mr. Peacock started to play again, plucking the strings of his bass forcefully and letting the odd note hang in the air so
that its baleful resonance could be fully savored. Mr. Motian entered softly with a roll of the cymbals and then his brushes,
followed a few seconds later by Ms. Crispell, who supplied a few exquisitely chosen notes, each implying a subtle yet
captivating shift in feeling.
“Yeah, let’s make some music!” Mr. Eicher exclaimed from behind the glass, praying the band would sustain its momentum.
His prayers were answered. By the end of the piece the trio had gone from introspection to heartbreaking rapture and back
again. Ms. Crispell slouched over the piano, looking depleted. In a characteristically operatic gesture, Mr. Eicher burst out
of the control room, lifted her up, embraced her and led her in a dance. This was the piece Ms. Crispell decided to call “Amaryllis.”

00.06.05 • Marilyn Crispell and Friends: A Woodstock Visitation [RL Mental Archive—113 Hours]
June 5, 2000 / Vacation, Woodstock, NY
1. Monday. She answers the door in a towel. Really put us at our ease. We went to the hardware store with her: bought kitty-litter
scoops and asked about mulch. Then the laundromat: watched her fold her favorite flannel robe. The grocery store: bought paper
towels and logs for her new fireplace. The Post Office, even.
Ate a really nice lunch and talked about everyone’s cats. Watched each other eat. Talked about our taking in my 93-year-old
Grandmother Lucille. Talked about her new apartment and her furniture and her painting the place and decorating and all that
house-cleaning. Drove around in the rain. Talked about everything.
Sandra gave her a necklace she had made—flat-black and ivory-colored beads—and Marilyn had just broken the one she usually
wears when she performs, so she was thrilled and said now she had something for her upcoming performances.
Her whole house was in ivory and black. Spartan but cosey. Just out of her long years in the single rented rooms, adjusting now
to all the S P A C E . . .
We had a choice of India, Mexico, or China for dinner, and, since we were going to India on the way home Wednesday, we opted
for China or Mexico, but as it turned out Mexico was closed, so we went straight to China. Cool place with great food overlooking
a low stone-banked creek where yet another Great Blue Heron went skimming along the water’s surface between the bending
boughs of the trees. The trip had us crossing paths with ten of these elegant beauties, always an omen for me, so—well, ten
was
something else altogether.
She told us about her insecurities and her trouble maintaining relationships and how she sometimes considers giving it all up
to be with someone and that she likes playing with a duo better than with a trio because it’s closer, and more focused, and we
laughed out loud and repeatedly and described the water-party that is bathing Lucille and I showed her my Dolphy tatoo and
explained how I had quit my job on Wednesday last because my boss had said “how’d you like it if some guy walked into your
house with a n*gger on his arm?” and then showed her my cat’s-paw tatoo, the one over my heart, and she told us how she got
into gardening by burying her first cat and then deciding to plant flowers there and I peed in her toilet a bunch of times and she
gave me the Marian McPartland program on cassette and a CDr of a trio gig (w/ Guy-Hemingway) from Paris in 1998 and we
went to the video store because she said she knew they had bought Istanbul just because Eric Andersen and her did the soundtrack
and she talked the guys behind the counter into letting me take it home to Erie, PA so I could dub it and send it back later and we
all hugged and got very sad at day’s end and I told her that the music helps me to live and she said that she never saves anything
but that the Lucille missiles I send are in her sacred poetry folder and it was like we was friends—no time for “Hey I have several
hundred questions to ask you about the music and this session detail and that other session detail,” none of that—it only came up
a few times, always by default, and never for more than a moment or two.
Just hanging out. What an amazing day.

Homespun Tapes DVD-CRI-KB21 (DVD) 2002
February 22, 2002 / Colony Cafe, Woodstock, New York
—“This lesson is designed for players with some facility at the keyboard but with little knowledge
of improvisational techniques. Famed pianist Marilyn Crispell shows the scales, intervals and
basic chords that will get you started creating musical sounds. Once you find the notes that
will start the process of improvisation, she gives you the background information to make it
happen. After reviewing essential music theory, Marilyn shows you how scales, triads, intervals,
pedal points and tritones can all be used as tools for the creative pianist.
There’s plenty of material here for experienced improvisers to study as well, as Marilyn, an
important exponent of the Free Jazz movement, gives you the tools to develop themes and
unlock your own ideas.” —From the liners

—“I listened to it for the first time yesterday while in the car. There seems to be some strange interference-type noise at one stage.
Also it sounds like someone is trying to get a cigarette light working early on.” —A. Wilson 03.11.29
—“Is there a remote possibility that the “strange interference-type noise” (between 0:00 and 1:30 of track 5) described by A. Wilson
could in fact be a concentrated burst of musique concrète? Mats did something similar on his CD Hidros One (Caprice), when
the music was suddenly interrrupted by electronically treated footsteps in crisp snow. It’s only a theory, and I have my doubts as to
whether he’d use this device in concert, but you never know.” —Kevin C. White 03.12.28

Collaboration
Her recent albums on ECM ... are very much a collaboration between [producer Manfred] Eicher and the musicians in
recording sessions. She approached this label so she could work with Eicher. And he was involved in her first project,
the music of Annette Peacock, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Paul Motian.
“I felt there was something I was trying to get to, a change in my music. I was starting to explore a more lyrical direction
and I felt that working with [Eicher] would help me to get to the highest level I could,” Crispell said. ... She also thought
of Eicher as a mentor: “When you choose a teacher you do it to get something to learn, and not someone who is going to
make it easy for you.”
Eicher has worked with Crispell on ... Nothing ever was, anyway: The Music of Annette Peacock [96.09.00], as well as on
Amaryllis [00.02.00] and on the newly released Storyteller album. ... Crispell said Eicher is a careful listener. “We’d play
something and he’d say, ‘Try this or that’ ... ‘Fix that.’ ... ‘It sounded like a mistake. Why not try some free ballads.’ ...
‘That sounds unfocused’ or ‘You’ re not familiar enough with it to make it come off.’”
Crispell noted that there’s often give-and-take between her and Eicher over artistic issues. “Occasionally,” she said,
“there’s something he doesn’t like or feels shouldn’t be on a recording. I’ll lobby for it, defend it. He’ll listen to it again.”
Whenever she’s disagreed with his opinion, he’s added the musical section that she’s wanted. And if she’s disagreed with
him on something he does like and she doesn’t, Crispell has ended up liking it and finding a place for it on the CD.
“So he has a very good ear,” she said. ... “No one has ever worked with me in the capacity of producer in that way.”

World première performance of Premature Celebration
“It was the riskier collaborations that paid off. Premature Celebration was commissioned in honour of Evan Parker’s
imminent 60th birthday: 60 composers [including Marilyn Crispell] each contributed a bar, arranged by Bates into a piece
which Parker would hear for the first time onstage and improvise with. Accompanied by Paul Lytton on drums, Parker
on tenor sax started tentatively but soon rose to the challenge, picking up and echoing the orchestral phrases, elaborating
during the thoughtfully placed pauses and building to a celebratory flourish whilst both Lytton and the orchestra held
back from the limelight.” —Abi Bliss

—“The play is about the interrelationship of two concert pianists and their manager (played by John Michalski) and the music
performed by the two pianists, both separately and together, will range from Mozart to Wagner to improvisation, and will
include a performance of Schubert’s Fantasie for 4 Hands. Tristan’s Promise will offer the audience an intimate view into
the lives of two concert performers and their manager, showing how a performing career, like life itself, promises everything
but guarantees nothing. It is to a large degree based on Richard Wagner’s philosophy relating to life, love and creativity.”

Alternating Currents
“As the respected keyboardist reports from her home in Woodstock, New York: ‘I don’t want to say too much about
the piece, but it’s largely a structured improvisation with certain described parameters and a very small amount of
written notes. I’m calling the work ‘Yin/Yang,’ and it has to do with alternating groups [of musicians] and alternating
feelings, alternating spaces.’
Crispell explains that as the piece progresses, the NOW musicians will negotiate different instrumental terrains, from
compositional form to improvisational freedom and back again, winding up with ‘some chords I’ve written and a
melody.’ It seems like a very painterly approach to sound, a notion that the keyboardist enthusiastically embraces.
‘I’m thinking of sound very much in terms of texture and colour,’ she notes. ‘And it’s interesting that you’d say that,
because I’ve gotten very, very interested in the visual arts these days. I’ve started doing improvisational drawings,
with pen and ink and brushes and crayons. I’m really interested in doing some projects where I tie those two things
together, but so far that’s just a fuzzy thought.’”

—“A very small hall, probably seats about 2-300. There were barely 50 people in the seats, so it was a very intimate setting.
There were about five microphones stuffed into the piano, but nothing was coming out of the PA. I was later informed
that the concert was being recorded for Crispell’s personal collection. ... I recognized three tunes.”

“Marilyn’s inspiration for this work came after seeing an exhibition of Cy Twombly’s Works on Paper at the Whitney
Museum in 2004, and when she received a Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 2005,
her creation of the Cy Twombly Dreamhouse began. The images used in The Dreamhouse have all been taken, with the
permission of the artist, from the Works on Paper catalogue. The performance is comprised of twelve sections of music
and dance, partly composed/choreographed and partly improvised. The dance focuses on shapes and structures relating
to the paintings rather than on movements requiring a great deal of momentum. The piece attempts to blur the boundaries
between light, human figures, projected images, movement, and sound. The music and dance are meant to reflect the
improvisatory nature and rhythmic quality of the artworks, as well as their exquisite balance of emptiness and form.”

“The fact that Vancouver, a city of only 546,000 people, can support and sustain an organization as vibrant and vital
as the NOW Orchestra says something about the cultural priorities of the locals. Under the direction of saxophonist Coat
Cooke, the 12-piece orchestra performed with special guest Marilyn Crispell, whose composition ‘Yin Yang’ was marked
by quiet shimmering textures, muted drums, pointillist punctuation, and a strong tenor statement from the leader. Guitarist
Ron Samworth’s ‘M.C.’ featured a long, slow crescendo, an exhilarating piano/drum duet, and an exotic wordless vocal
by vocalist Kate Hammet-Vaughan. Cooke’s ‘West Side Stomp’ effectively incorporated excerpts from war news spoken
by orchestra members backed by skittering piano. The set and the evening ended with Samworth’s wild, skronky guitar
work on ‘Pola.’”

“We brought some tunes to the session but the whole record ended up spontaneous
and improvised. On a couple of pieces instead of piano Marilyn played an old beat-up
piano soundboard wrenched out of an old baby grand several years before. We blew
the dust off it and propped it a few feet off the floor, where it gave strange resonances
as a giant percussion instrument. Marilyn said something about wanting to get away
from the keyboard, more into the realm of pure sound.” —David Rothenberg

“The recording dates were Saturday and Sunday, 20/21 of September (following the concert on the Friday night,
which I wish had been recorded—it was amazing). Most of the album comes from the Sunday session.
There is much more material, and some of those who heard the entire recording were disappointed that so much
of it was left on the ‘cutting room floor.’ But Jeff and I were very happy with the final choices, and we believe
that it makes for a very concise and focused work. We have talked about extracting more material from those
recordings to make available exclusively as digital downloads, or as free tracks to help promote the album.
I’m tempted to look into that.”

Mitchell’s Black Earth Strings, Richard Teitelbaum, Matthew Welch, John Zorn/Dave Douglas/Brad Jones/Gerry Hemingway,

“There was surely one burning question on the minds of the audience who packed the chic New York City nightclub
(Le) Poisson Rouge to capacity on a Friday night for the first evening of the Tri-Centric Modeling: Past, Present and
Future, a two-day celebration marking the 65th birthday of Anthony Braxton. The concert, as well as a second event
presented the next day at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, were mounted to raise funds for the Tri-Centric Foundation,
a non-profit organisation meant to help document and promote Braxton’s work.
Friday’s programme featured an outstanding array of Braxton’s peers, acolytes and protegés. But the burning issue
at hand had everything to do with just three of the participants—pianist Marilyn Crispell, bassist Mark Dresser and
percussionist Gerry Hemingway—and a fourth, Braxton himself. Together, they represented one of the most reliably
thrilling ensembles of the late 1980s and early ’90s.
For Braxton, a leader who has marshalled any number of distinguished groups, this was the unit to conjure with: one
rightly to be cited alongside Miles Davis’ late quintets, John Coltrane’s quartet and Albert Ayler’s Spiritual Unity trio.
When Crispell, Dresser and Hemingway took the stage midway through the evening, their astonishing cohesion during
a seamless sequence of brittle marches, luminous unison melodies and brief, rolling outbursts melted away the years.
Still, you sat in rapt expectancy, wondering if Braxton might complete the reunion. That he spent much of the trio
set standing nearby, beaming in approval with an alto sax strapped around his neck, fueled the anticipation. Finally,
26 minutes into the 34-minute set, Braxton stepped up and pecked his way into a familiar theme: Coltrane’s
‘Impressions,’ rendered prismatic, contemplative, and joyous. A table of critics was dumbstruck, some fans
reportedly wept.”

“Deck of seventy-five offset printed cards with box, cards 6¾ × 4¾ in. each. Frances Mulhall Achilles Library, Archives, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; gift of David Kiehl, 2007.
These photographs of musical notations found in mundane settings, such as shop awnings, chocolate tins, and T-shirts are
evidence of Marclay’s keen eye for musical notes waiting to be discovered and played. The box contains these instructions
from the artist: ‘This deck of cards can be used as a musical score. Shuffle the deck and draw your cards. Create a sequence
using as many or as few of the cards as you wish. Play alone or with others. Invent your own rules. Sounds may be generated
or simply imagined.’” [whitney.org/Exhibitions/ChristianMarclay/Scores]

Excellence in Research Prize and Medal is bestowed upon David Rothenberg, a member of NJIT’s faculty, best-selling
author and acclaimed jazz clarinetist, by the NJIT Board of Overseers.
‘Harmonic Connections in Nature, Science and Music,’ held at 5:00pm at the Jim Wise Theater in Kupfrian Hall, will include
a presentation by Rothenberg, PhD, professor of philosophy and music, on how and why music enables him to communicate
with birds and whales—the subject of his two best-selling books [Why Birds Sing: A Journey into the Mystery of Bird Song
(2005) and Thousand Mile Song (2008)]. A jazz performance with the multi-talented author on his clarinet, accompanied by
pianist Marilyn Crispell follows. The duo performed a similar offering this past June at Lincoln Center. A reception will take
place after the ceremony.”

“A few words about the CD. This is not a regular release in the sense of a widespread circulation. fixcel records
is a really small label (which doesn’t bring in the money the CDs cost), and ... it was a special case, because most
of the CDs were obtained by the Enjoy Jazz Festival. They supported the production of the CD. The Trio was
a one-time-only band, and it was created by the drummer Erwin Ditzner (a friend of mine) who gets every year
the chance to put together his special little band (he’s a friend of the festival boss, too), and in 2010 it was Marilyn
and Sebastian Gramss. Erwin is a creative mind, and I also cherish—and recommend—bassist Sebastian Gramss,
one of Germany’s leading bass players. He gained some recognition with his band Underkarl, which exists for
more than 12 years (if I remember correctly).”

“Mark Dresser and I convened at Tedesco’s studio in Teaneck, NJ in April 2011 to record a CD for Tzadik records of
Anthony Braxton’s music. The idea for this production emanated from a reunion we had on the occassion of Anthony
Braxton’s 65th birthday, which was celebrated in the form of a fundraiser for the Tri-Axium foundation at Le Poisson
Rouge in NYC in 2010 [on June 18]. John Zorn was there, ... and the following day when Dresser and Zorn met by
chance in the East Village, the idea for this production was discussed. I will produce the recording in the next months.
Too early to say when it will be released.”

“Italian percussionist-extraordinaire and composer Andrea Centazzo, celebrated the 35th anniversary of his label Ictus
by curating two weeks at The Stone in April of 2012. It was a glorious event with a number of Downtown’s finest,
other gifted musicians from both coasts (Henry Kaiser, Marilyn Crispell, Davey Williams, and LaDonna Smith), plus
a half dozen great musicians from Italy who rarely if ever come to our shores. A few discs of entire sets have already
come out on Ictus, but this is the first anthology which includes excerpts from ten different concerts.”

“Yes, our tour was a success. Pohrsdorf is a small village outside Dresden (Tharandt is the area, I think).
When we drove off the autobahn, there was only farmland and the roads kept getting narrower and narrower,
and we thought, strange place for a jazz concert, but the gig turned out to be fantastic, many people came.
Eckard Schleiermeier, the organizer, has turned the stable on his farm into a saxophone museum. He has
several original Adolph Sax instruments, for instance, and has jazz concerts every Sunday, people come all
the way from Dresden to attend.”

—“The concert at London’s Cafe OTO ... was the last in a short series the trio played in Britain and Austria. These were generously
organised by Nod Knowles, who also persuaded the producers of the weekly Jazz programme on BBC Radio 3 to record the OTO
concert. A selection from this material was broadcast as the principle element in the ensuing programme.
However, there was another recording made, in tandem with that of the radio production company. This other recording, which
was made by Giovanni La Rovere, is the material basis for this CD. There are overlaps with the earlier broadcast selection.
But nothing was taken from what is entitled here as ‘Main Part 2’ on this CD.
It was a long and fruitful concert. Too long to be used in its entirety for the radio broadcast and even too long to fit on a single CD.
However, it does contain what I feel are the most substantial parts of that memorable concert.”

Process
“I visited her in February this year for ten days. We worked intensively to create a number of ideas for images and sounds.
Woodstock is surrounded by trees and I walked through forests every morning which I realise inspired some of the grid
matrices I used for the scores, especially ‘Morning.’ Marilyn introduced different calligraphic lines and geometric shapes
to each matrix, with the sounds she wanted to play already in mind. Each image was made in response to a time of day: moving from dark to light and back to twilight. ...
We had one day in a recording studio for Marilyn to play the pieces solo, and she invited David Rothenberg to perform
duets with her. In the end there are recordings of all seven scores played solo, and with six played as duets. Marilyn creates
a wide range of sounds on the piano, playing the strings as well as the keyboard. David played clarinet, following the long
winding black lines that appear in ‘Dawn’ with beautiful, long, undulating notes. He also created a number of digital
beats/pulses to reflect the repetitive nature of the grids. Not how I imagined a recording studio! A beautiful and creative
space to work in.”

Drawing Sound : : : August 25 through October 15, 2017
“An Installation of graphic scores created by pianist/composer Marilyn Crispell, saxophonist/composer Raymond McDonald, and Joe Ganter, a visual artist based in Sctoland. Graphic scores and projected video animations with a musical soundtrack.” —Poughkeepsie Journal
|
“The exhibition in Woodstock included both suites of graphic scores by Jo Ganter. Running Under Bridges, made with
Raymond MacDonald, and Gradations of Light, made with Marilyn Crispell. A live performance opened the exhibition
on August 25th.
Gradations of Light is a suite of seven graphic scores. Ganter provided the grid-like structures while Crispell created
gestural marks and blocks of tone that score the music. This suite of prints rejects colour in favour of tonal values,
moving from darkest black through shadowy greys and silvery, subtle, changes of tone, to harsh contrasts of black and
white. Each one is named for a time of day, Morning, Midday, Twilight, Night, which provides a thematic thread that
links the works.
Ganter’s grid-like matrices inform all of her work with MacDonald and Crispell, but each musician has a strong creative
influence and input into the images. MacDonald introducing bright colour to the pieces—clear blues, oranges, yellows,
pinks—make for brilliant and exuberant abstraction. Each piece by Ganter/MacDonald is a new adventure with different
expressive intent. The two series of works complementing each other to produce a varied and original exhibition of
sound and vision.”

“This CD is a very personal statement from Marilyn Crispell. Memoria / For Pessa Malka was composed as a memorial
to her relatives who died in the Second World War, and to her parents, husband, and close friends who have passed on
during the past several years. The five movements comprise a journey through suffering to redemption.
First half of the CD is a trio with Tanya Kalmanovitch and Richard Teitelbaum, while the second half is a duo with Tanya.
The seven violin/piano improvisations are not connected to the memorial piece, but they seemed to fit the ambience established by it.”

“It was once remarked by the multi-instrumentalist
and composer Roscoe Mitchell that in order for one
to successfully create music, one must also have some
understanding of composition so that it can be done
in real time.
Upon discovering the work of multi-instrumentalist
and composer Anthony Braxton’s ‘Classic Quartet’
during my adolescent years, it became clear to me
that pianist-composer Marilyn Crispell is truly one
of the most unique musicians of our time. ...
I have since dreamed of collaborating with her in
some capacity, which was finally realized in 2014
at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY,
followed by a subsequent performance at The Stone
in New York City later that summer.
[The Adornment Of Time] represents the culmination
of the several journeys embarked upon by Marilyn
and me during the past five years of collaborative opportunities.
[Tyshawn Sorey, from the liner notes]

“It was completely improvised, and involved intense listening and awareness of each other’s space.
We didn’t discuss anything before we played.”

Marilyn Crispell: “My musical life has pretty much come to a stop, at least as far as being able to tour and play. I’ve done
some improvising with GIO on their zoom sessions, but other than that—and one livestream concert from a studio in Amherst,
Massachusetts with the Dreamstruck Trio (with Harvey Sorgen and Joe Fonda)—there’s been nothing.
In March 2021 I’ll be doing another livestream with Tyshawn Sorey from the University of Pennsylvania. I’ve done a few zoom sessions with students, but not a lot.”

MC: Raymond and I decided to do some duos, including my reading from journal texts and a poem I wrote years ago
for Cecil Taylor. I was limited in terms of an instrument, as I’ve got an old electronic piano here at home, so I hope it
doesn’t come out sounding too terrible. It turned out that zoom wouldn’t let the two of us improvise together (when
Raymond started to play, it would automatically mute me), so Ross, the engineer, had to figure out a way to make it
work. We ended up with Raymond listening to me and simultaneously recording his part onto garage band on his
phone. I couldn’t hear him at all, but could see him, and tried to just zone in psychically to what he was doing. I’ll
be very interested to hear the result—improvising in the age of Covid.”
