“A model of independent scholarship, ... reading The Sam Rivers Sessionography is a highly immersive experience.
It’s in a limited edition of 724 copies. Don’t snooze on it if you’re just going to kick yourself later.”
—NPR music critic Kevin Whitehead, at pointofdeparture.org
“A dizzying, stunning achievement of research and scholarship. ... A joyful, sometimes psychedelic experience.”
—Mike Chamberlain, allaboutjazz.com
“A Rosetta Stone of insight, and a well-deserved and worthy tribute to an overlooked giant of the music.”
—Taylor Ho Bynum
“An incredible piece of work. It’s really something else. Informative and entertaining. ... Anticipating hours of joy.”
—Barry Altschul
“Absolutely mind-blowing! So great!” —Mats Gustafsson
“An essential resource, a trail map for a rare and beautiful landscape of sounds.” —Larry Blumenfeld
“A tremendous document. ... This book is powerful.” —Jason Moran
“Lopez’s Sam Rivers sessionography is state of the art.” —Lewis Porter
“Rick Lopez’s book is by no means a biography. It’s not a discography either, and it’s not a photo documentation.
And yet somehow it is everything at the same time.
—Wolfram Knauer review, Jazzinstitut Darmstadt (January 2023)
“Rick Lopez has done it again!” —James Brandon Lewis
Working on upgrading to a Sessionography.

A Note from Your Mad Discographer, on The Deep Digging; The Incantations; The Inspirations; All These Words...
I’ve been deeply involved in the arts since the mid-’70s, but I’ve never known how to monetize my talents. I’ve never had a hint
of financial savvy; I am—like a clueless child—almost entirely dependent at the age of 69 on next week’s pay-check; and I am
“unaffiliated” and on my own here. I also get constant feedback from people all over the world who’ve been telling me, lo these
many decades, that the work I do is invaluable... And so I’m reaching out.
There are expenses I constantly struggle to meet: website hosting, an Adobe account for the software that makes the website
and book layouts possible, subscriptions to newspaper archives, and numerous other expenses. Then there are the absurd number
of hours I feel compelled to spend gathering and organizing and formatting the information that I find.
I receive a Social Security check that meets just about half of my living expenses, and I drive a tiny school bus part-time for
a daycare center that barely covers the rest. So if you appreciate the work that I do and are willing and able to help a boy out
with any amount, either one-time or monthly, I would be most grateful. —RL

—“Eneidi’s Orchestra played one long piece. The group consisted of about seven saxes and clarinets, a chorus of five or six people,
perhaps five bass players, two drummers, and Parker on tuba. The music consisted of about ten musical fragments for the orchestra,
and perhaps as many textural fragments for the chorus. Simple as these were, Eneidi wove them together with dexterity, keeping
things moving, making contrasts, cueing soloists.” —Dan Plonsey
—“William did a workshop, played a solo, and then we did the Orchestra. It was not called Beanbenders yet—me and Glenn had our
orchestra there doing a weekly rehearsal/performance for a full year before the Bean guys came in and ousted us. It was the Berkeley
Store Gallery, run by the same wonderful woman Bonnie who now is in charge of another place just down around the corner under
the name of Berkeley Arts.” —Marco Eneidi 14.04.15

Scott Currie (06.07.13):
“[The tape listing] Little Huey playing the extended composition ‘Revolt on the Plantation’ is incorrect. The archives
document William running through a couple sections of ‘Mass for the Healing of the World’ at the Vison Fest 3 Little
Huey gig (in preparation for the concert/recording date in Verona). ...
A comparison between Little Huey’s Black Saint recording of ‘Mass for the Healing of the World’ and the WKCR-FM
archival DAT (40:35) of the Vison Fest gig (24 May 1998) has confirmed that they ran through three sections of the work
in the earlier NYC concert: ‘Invocation,’ ‘1st Reading,’ and ‘Dawn Song’ (n.b. they fleshed out middle section considerably
with additional individual solos and collective improvisations). The festival MC introducing the band announced that they
would be performing ‘A First Reading from Mass for the Healing of the World,’ and repeated this identification once again
at the end. ... In addition to the personnel you [had] listed, Richard Rodriguez (tp) and Aleta Hayes (voc) performed with
the band (but were somehow left off the program)—the guests were Charlie Waters (of Gold Sparkle Band), Kidd Jordan,

98.07.13 - Marco Eneidi’s American Jungle Orchestra: as above / Luggage Store Gallery, San Francisco, CA [ibid]
The American Jungle Orchestra has seen various incarnations over its 18 plus months of existence. However, most of the
creative musicians in the area have sat in rehearsals and shows during that time. This past June and July has seen the
formation of a solid group of 20 players.
Marco chose two pieces for the current shows: a lengthy, intricate score by Jimmy Lyons called “Something is the Matter,”
[written] for the orchestra Bill Dixon was conducting at Bennington in 1975; and one of his own pieces called “Hallelujah”
—a jump or riff tune.
By the time the orchestra played Yoshi’s on July 20th it had already done two warmup shows at the Luggage Store in San
Francisco, and both pieces were well-received by an enthusiastic audience of over a hundred people.

Marco Eneidi (as), William Parker (b), Donald Robinson (dr)
While Glenn Spearman’s death of colon cancer last month at age 51 was a huge loss to the Bay Area’s improvised-music
community, the saxophonist’s ethos lives on in many ways—in the audience he helped develop, in the venues that sprang up
to serve the audience and, most importantly, in the musicians that carry on the tradition he advanced.
Dozens of these artists will participate in a benefit tribute to Spearman at Berkeley’s Beanbender’s on Saturday, with the
proceeds going to his family. Spearman was a firebrand on the sax, best known for his unfettered, hurricane-like blowing, a
signature of the free-jazz tradition he was schooled in. His gift involved wrapping his improvisational explosions in suite-like
structures and using simple, beautiful melodies to ignite a musical conflagration. This balance of improvisation and composition
came to fruition in the Glenn Spearman Double Trio, a union of two bands—Spearman’s own Trio, and Room, an avant-garde
classical outfit featuring electronics, saxophone, and percussion. Room’s electronics whiz Chris Brown, who plays acoustic
piano in the Double Trio and co-directs the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College, explains: “Room was very into
composed structures. Glenn’s idea was you had a series of notes —it could be very simple—and you took off from there. It was
totally exhilarating. ... A kind of ecstatic dialogue would take place, where everybody was sort of speaking in tongues, playing
more with their bodies than anything else.”
When the Double Trio performs at the benefit Saturday, Spearman’s slot will be taken by his brilliant alto-sax-playing
colleague Marco Eneidi. The second saxophonist, Larry Ochs, will be out of town, so someone yet to be named will attempt
to fill his shoes. The rest of the bill consists of a constellation of bands Spearman either led or played with: an expanded ROVA
saxophone lineup, G-Force (featuring Eneidi, Lisle Ellis, James Routhier and Donald Robinson), Matthew Goodheart, Positive
Knowledge, J.D. Parran, Vinny Golia, Ben Lindgren, poet Jack Foley, Room’s percussion ace Willie Winant, Kash Killion,
and others. Closing the show will be the American Jungle Orchestra, a 30-strong blend of professionals and students taught
by Spearman and Eneidi.
All present will recall Spearman as someone who pushed them deeper into their music. “We propelled each other,” says Eneidi
of his late friend. “We really locked up. I never had that with anybody else.”

Robert D. Rusch, from the liners:
By the time the trio arrived, in mid-afternoon of May 17, I really was not sure where their focus was. Lisle now informed me
“a little of this, a little of that.”
Uh huh. However, as this was the end of an extensive tour (at one point involving 21 dates in 21 days) that eventually would
cover some 8,000 plus miles of driving, I had confidence that the trio had a pretty good idea of what they were doing and that
this would be a pretty seamless recording experience. ...
The group opened the session on the relaxed, sultry “Contractual Obligation Blues.” The first take had beauty but was relaxed
to the point of diffuseness. The second take (issued here) was a lesson in how to burn while staying cool. After that it took
awhile for the group to get into what might be called a coordinated unconsciousness. That finally came together on the second
take of “News Blues,” when they reached a point when all distractions were suspended except the musical activity and
interactivity.
At this point, Lisle explained how after a month of playing this music suite-like in hour-long sets, they were now trying to pry
it apart and, in effect, present each piece in its own setting. This was not going to be as seamless as I'd imagined. Nevertheless,
by the end of the evening’s session, we had the better part of this release logged in, bringing the evening to an end and just
short of fatigue with a single take on “Baby Please Don’t Go.”
The morning of the 18th was warm, wet, and dreary and the opening session was addressed in a leisurely manner. After some
warm up and run-throughs,
Lisle said they were going to run through, as in rehearse, “American Roadwork,” to which Peter responded, “So record it.”
And so we did; it is issued here.
Sometimes it seems that simple. The trio followed this with “Dreamt Up Blues #6 Pt.1,” a piece with a somewhat tentative
beginning which builds powerfully over Peter’s solid mosaic of percussion then settles down only to rejuvenate its powerful
edgy assault. Its first wave sets you up, only to sucker punch you with the second. Marco’s comment at the end was “Yes! ...
good morning.”
We finished the day with “Vienna Blues,” one of those ballads of which Marco spoke to me the previous year. And then they
launched into “Short & Clean” as sort of a tag to the two days’ work.”

“Marco Eneidi is one of a very few who have brought an international level of playing to bay area creative music venues
for nearly a decade. This two day festival is to show appreciation for not only his virtuoso playing, but his organizing
(Glenn Spearman festival) and education. Many younger musicians have worked with Mr. Eneidi and learned about the
music in that process. More important than losing a few venues, we are losing one of our only master musicians to
Europe. This festival will feature new old ensembles, all featuring Eneidi with local and international guests. Includes
Italian meal prepared by Marco Eneidi, menu below!
Dinner menu: Pasta con Suguo Bolonese (traditional), Insalta di Pasta con Pesto Olive Tomate, Cippola Roso, Carciufe,
Mozzareal Fresca, Insalta Verde, Pane, Formaggio, Fruta, Vino, Birra, Aqua.”

Thomas Albert Zlabinger, from his Thesis...
“My first trip to Vienna as a performing musician was in March 2008 when Marco Eneidi asked me to perform with a large group ... at the Blue Tomato. ... In late 2007, I had e-mailed Eneidi about my dissertation as a musician in New York suggesting that I contact him regarding jazz and improvised music in Vienna. When he responded he included an invitation to be part of the mentioned performance. I quickly said yes, booked a flight, and made arrangements to rent a bass while I was there. In addition to performing with Eneidi and his ensemble, I also participated in jam sessions at Blue Tomato (the night before our performance) and at Celeste (hosted by Eneidi). ... I had never performed with any of the musicians in Eneidi’s ensemble before. The closest thing to a rehearsal was performing the night before our performance at the same venue with Eneidi, Smith (who was there a day early), and drummer Wolfgang Reisinger (who hosted the jam session). Our quartet performed a free jazz swing groove, with everyone knowing what to do. At the time I was so nervous, playing in a club I had never been in, performing on a rented instrument, and making my international debut as a musician. But as people got off the stage, I could tell that it went well.”

08.03.20 - ITCHYSCRATCHY AUDIOMAZE: Marco Eneidi (as), Martin Siewert (g), Hans Falb (turntables), Damon Smith (b, laptop), Thomas Zlabinger (b), Andreas Menrath (dr) / 20:30hr, Blue Tomato, Wien, Austria [ibid]
“The next night we performed with the entire ensemble as ITCHYSCRATCHY AUDIOMAZE. There was again no rehearsal, except a short soundcheck. We performed two completely free sets. Each musician was given a chance to solo in each set. With two bassists, there was harmonic cacophony and I really could not hear Smith well. At one point he stopped performing and made music with his laptop, which helped focus the performance. The most interesting contributor to the performance was Falb, who used scratched and undamaged records (including a copy of Braxton’s New York, Fall 1974), upside-down broken cymbals, marbles, and other objects to get ferocious sounds from his turntables. ... Eneidi cut through the wall of sound which remained a backdrop that propelled him forward. During the performance, the Blue Tomato was full and people listened to our music while they ate, drank, and smoked.”

Review by Eric Arn:
“Celeste Experience 9.03.09 - We entered another dimly lit, smoky cellar hidden beneath Vienna, but what we found changed
everything. Picture Eduardo Marraffa, Italian wild man on tenor sax plus dreadlocked dervish Michael Zerang ... plus regular
Monday night ringleader Marco Eneidi. ... These three spewed out 150-proof truth; singing, screaming, tickling, uncut freedom
into our ears, sending all minds present into a hypnotic mantric tantric journey to the center of the I and back to that little
basement where we could all have a good laugh and unstoppable smile as drummer extraordinaire Paal Nilssen-Love joined in
(in town with Peter Brötzmann). This kicked it all into turbo-charged high gear, and all the colors of the free-improv spectrum
were explored. By the time it tapered off (2, 3 am?) the psychic fallout was palpable. See you next week.”

“Another wonderful night in Celeste, very full packed house as has been usual the entire year, great music by all. The evening
started out with great cooking from Alaa, a chicken vegetable ratatouille, and cut up chicken with apricot, orange juice curry,
and couscous. I’m tired and will write more later...... bis bald [See you soon].”

Cecil Taylor into a museum. His Brooklyn home is a treasure trove of musical history and this museum will highlight his art
collection, his poster collection of performances as far back as the 40’s and 50's, his hand-written poetry and music, and of
course his grand piano.”

Ciao Vienna!!
“After 10½ years here in Vienna doing everything correct and by the book and being legal with an Artist Visa, I screwed up
this past year due to severe illness and much time in hospital, my visa long expired, and I just found that I will not be let back
into the EU for a minimum six months. So i make a quick three-day clean and throw away everything and hit the airport to
San Francisco tomorrow morning.
Many thanks to all the good friends here, you helped me in so many ways. Aladin Al-Serori of Ce Leste who let me use the
Keller all these years and pratice as loud as I wanted all day long. Anton Blattnig who gave a place to stay for three months
free when I first arrived. Didi Kern and Philipp Quehenberger who got me going with local shows and an introduction to
the great Austrian artist Franz West. And the Saint, Hans Falb of Jazzgalerie Nickelsdorf. It's been good in so many ways,
but time is up and of the essence. Dankeschon Wien!

PTSD
Wow, I am really still from what can only be called post-traumatic stress from the way I had to leave Vienna on such
short notice and abandon 10½ years of my life, arrive in the Bay area no money, no job, no place to live and my mother
made it very clear I was not welcome. Somehow ended up in a 3rd-world country, unless of course you are a white
Euro-Spaniard. The racism, classism, and corruption here is unbelievable.
How the hell I ended up here I don’t know, but I am in tears. Post-traumatic stress. Really upset.

MARCO ENEIDI, 1956-2016 (obituary written by Michael Ehlers)
“The eremite family grieves the death of Marco Eneidi. Marco passed away 24 May in Pleasanton, CA. A consummate
and uncompromising free jazz alto saxophonist, Marco was an authentic heir to the legacies of his friend Glenn Spearman
and his primary artistic role model Jimmy Lyons. Marco played hard, he rode hard, and he earned it. Pre-deceased by his
jazz family of Denis Charles, Raphe Malik, Jim Pepper, and Spearman, among others, Marco will live on through his
brilliant music. his body of work, on his own Botticelli imprint, and on eremite, rates right up there with the strongest
free jazz of its era. Condolences to his son Nicco and to all the musicians who made the journey with him.”
