Archäologie CVXVIII: Ode To Billy Joe - The Long Take
Bobby Gentry's wunderbare "Ode To Billy Joe" hier von der Henry Kaiser Band
03 Ode To Billy Joe by Mindbender
Henry Kaiser macht übrigens auch Filme:
An eerie long take filmed by Henry Kaiser on the supercool sea-floor of McMurdo Sound and set to his own music. I find it most unheimlich and despite having watched it a few times over now, it never seems anymore familiar. The diversity of the subtidal fauna is astonishing. Something distinctly unexpected happens around the six-minute mark which is worth waiting for...

Nachtrag via The Henry Kaiser Collection:
One of Henry Kaiser's most rewarding musical projects has been his collaboration with trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith (and dozens of friends), re-interpreting the music of Miles Davis - the early 70s electric period of Bitches Brew ...
Given the depth of talent and diversity of instrumentation, it's interesting to note that it's bassist Michael Manring that proves to be the anchor... and driving force. His sinister sounding, heartbeat bass provides the grounding for the band's endless fights. Kaiser's encyclopedic guitar technique mutates at every turn - synchronizing with Smith's rising trumpet lines one minute, locking onto the groove the next. He'll accent with wah-wah & spacey effects, then chunky outbursts, only to eventually take off with searing improv. Following HK's direction-prompting transitions are a treat. Give a listen to the 16 minute plus "Bitches Brew," below. Fantastic.
