WARRELLıs 60 minute film JAZZ DANCING
Bill Warrell has put together a documentary on JULIUS HEMPHILL and DON PULLEN,
Portraits: hosted by Bill T. Jones.
Dancer/choreographer Jones looks at the stage on which modern jazz and modern
dance meet. This is done through a study of the careers of
composer/Musicians, Julius Hemphill and Don Pullen. It focuses on
their
most ambitious works "Long Tongues: A Saxophone Opera", "Last
Supper at Uncle Tomıs Cabin: The Promised land", and "Earth Eagle
First Circle". It also explores the creation of a new collaboration

RECENT RELEASE (will be available at this year's festival)
An historic double disc CD/DVD 5.1 sound release, "Visionlive"
compiles
highlight performances from the Vision Festival. The release boasts stunning
performances from a full spectrum of advanced jazz thinkers and improvisers
who draw on a rich collective history.
The nine selections include performances from Blue Series
regulars Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Mat Maneri, Roy Campbell, and Hamid
Drake, all of whom offer moments of transcendence and grace, fire and succor,
heady
introspection and soulful groove. Also included are great performances by
pianist Dave Burrell; bassoonist Karen Borca; vocalist Ellen Christi; and reed
man Douglas Ewart with trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. Finally, there is a
valedictory solo from German bass explorer Peter Kowald, who died several
months after the recording.
