Besides Bill & Connie’s masterpiece CONVERSATIONS
other CDs that Bill has appeared on are on my Zerx Records.
He appears on six volumes of my New Mexico artists compilation
series ALBUZERXQUE. (Most of the artists live in New Mexico
and/or the performance took place in New Mexico, and/or
I make an exception and put the recordings on the series.)
ALBUZERXQUE Vol. 20
Bill is on 3 tracks. From a session at Connie Crothers Studio 475
in Williamsburg, NYC, 5dec04. Two of the tracks are with ensemble, Roger Mancuso, drums; Richard Tabnik, alto sax; Andrea Wolper,
voice; Connie, piano, and myself reading a poem. The other
track is just me & Bill, poem + clarinet.
ALBUZERXQUE Vol. 22
Bill on 4 tracks. Various sessions in Albuquerque.
Blind Willie McTell’s “Dyin Crapshooter’s Blues” w/MW, guitar
& song; Bill, clarinet, and Michael Vlatkovich, trombone.
and three other tracks in various situations w/William Roper,
tuba, and Michael Vlatkovich; one track is duet hubcaps +
clariinet.
ALBUZERXQUE Vol. 23
Bill on 5 tracks. Various sessions in Albuquerque.
He’s solo on one track that was recorded Live on my Thursday
jazz radio show, KUNM. He’s in duet with some guy on hubcaps
on anther, and he’s on a soundcheck before a concert at the
Outpost Performance Space w/MW, Roper, Vlatkovich, on a couple
others, as well, the trio plays “Happy Birfday”! marvelously in
my livingroom here at 725.
ALBUZERXQUE Vol.27
Bill on one track. My 20-minute “Hubcap Narrative #1″ that
has duets with six other improvisers, all butt-spliced together.
ALBUZERXQUE Vol. 28
Bill on one track. Our “For Kenny Davern” tribute/memorial.
Clarinet + poem. Plus a telephone message from the late KD.
ALBUZERXQUE Vol. 29
Bill on 2 tracks. One is solo, from the radio show, ibid.
As well, same radio show — 28june07 — we played a solo
drumset piece by Roger Mancuso and Bill played Live over
the radio to Roger! Came out tremendous. Lennie Tristano
would be proud.
