Tim Price Bloggin' For D'Addario Woodwinds- Thoughts about Jimmy Lyons.
~ JIMMY LYONS ; Today was his birthday~, and he was a source of energy, knowledge, soul & common sense...and more to the music we call jazz.
Records like=Other Afternoons ...Riffs Jump Up....Something in Return..Burnt Offering Wee Sneezawee..Give It Up...With Cecil- Into the Hot- Mixed- Student Studies- Akisakila- Spring of Two Blue J's- Dark to Themselves- Cecil Taylor Unit- 3 Phasis- Live in the Black Forest-One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye- It Is in the Brewing Luminous- The Eighth- Winged Serpent-The Great Concert of Cecil Taylor-Conquistador- Unit Structures- Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come...That music & more has to NEVER be forgotten and MUST be listened to by everyone, always.
This man's depth as an artist but also someone who had
the_deep roots_in Bird, blues & beyond- and composing-conceptions. Jimmy was someone that is always in my ears, he told a story when he played.
At the time 1982, Jimmy Lyons wrote this support letter for me below this- to get some grants from the Pa Council on the arts- Which helped me a lot- As I got over 6 grants through the years to do my own music- and produce it.
Positive energy- and thanks to Jimmy Lyons for the friendship & inspiration & more- this man was infinite! I was studying with him and his bassoonist wife Karen Borca. Karen was amazing and gave me a rebirth in bassoon playing just hearing her! Quite as it's kept- she is one of the real masters and innovators! Beautiful soul Karen Borca is, Going to their home in the Bronx- after I spend over a decade in road bands, was just what I needed. Doors opened in my thinking and it was something very inspiring.
Jimmy was the ultimate! Being around Jimmy was amazing and enlightening- he was one of the real innovators in modern music. GO LISTEN TO HIM....YOU HAVE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS ARTIST.
I sure miss him too- he left the planet to early and was a spirit to always listen for. Bright sun upon his spirit. Tim Price- Bloggin' For D'Addario ;

Excellent tribute to Jimmy, Tim. Jimmy remains an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Lyons! WeeSneezeawee, Give it Up, Jump Up--did he ever put out a bad record? A genius of music and a giant of the alto saxophone. He deserves a postage stamp.
ReplyDeleteHe will always be with me. Just like disciple, and one of my ultimate idols on the alto, Marco Eneidi. A trinity can be formed (with each three) hearkening back to Bird and Benny Carter up with modern day successors/players of the Continuum... The Sonny 3 (Criss,Stitt,Simmons) to Andre Goudbeek, Mette Rasmussen, Rob Brown et al. to even further back, and Beyond!All of them light years ahead...no competition, except for themselves and their drive, dedication, and their imagination and concepts.
