ronald shannon jackson
just penned a bio of legendary drummer-composer-decoding society bandleader ronald shannon jackson for fort worth jazz. here's vid of the master at work, playing and teaching a seminar at unt on 2.20.2007.
here he is playing a tribute to late gtr great sonny sharrock with decoding society vets vernon reid and melvin gibbs at the knitting factory in nyc.
and here he is leading a hot band including gtrist jef lee johnson, saxman james carter, and bassist ngolle pokosi in gdansk, poland, 1994.
listening as i type this to shannon's when colors play album, recorded at caravan of dreams in 1986. great compositions, great band, great recording. makes me nostalgic for the caravan even tho i missed out on its heyday, when ornette, shannon, and blood ulmer were regular visitors there.
