this “twofer” of shows by marion brown were both shared on dime by woessner in sept 2014.  they’re very different shows, as marion brown is solo in the 1985 new york performance.  given how the term “avant garde” pops up in most bio’s of marion brown, and that it’s a solo, i’d expected the sort of thing that would make me run a country mile, but no, i really enjoyed it.  surprise surprise.  but i will admit that the other show, in japan, was more my style.

  2. Marion brown was amazing. There’s an all too short interview with him on YouTube by some of his family i think. So sad to see how we end up. He was an original. RIP and thanks for the tunes.
