A Tribute To Alvin Fiedler: Live At Vision Festival XXIV

The recently departed free jazz drummer and educator Alvin Fielder (1935-2019) was given a fitting tribute by compatriots Edward “Kidd” Jordan/ts, Joel Futterman/p, William Parker/b and Hamid Drake/dr-perc on this June 12, 2019 concert. The single marathon piece has Jordan coming out of the corner swinging hard, blowing in the most altissimo of altissimos, with the rhythm team digging in, stretching out and laying out for solo spaces of other members. Parker and Drake deliver some three-legged racing together, both display their own wares as Jordan shrieks, squawks and shouts around Futterman’s ripples, poundings and explorations. A wild ride with no brakes!
