Vision Festival > the 26th Annual (minus one!) is Happening:
Save The Dates: June 21–26, 2022 : www.artsforart.org/vision.html

[AUM007/8]

= As with Vision Volume 3: aumfidelity.bandcamp.com/album/vision-volume-3-vision-festival-2003-compiled
All net proceeds from sales of this compilation (now & in its original 2CD pressings) go directly to Arts For Art, the vital multi-disciplinary artist-run presenting organization who produce the annual Vision Festival (24 years strong in 2019!), and a whole lot more throughout the year here in NYC. Compassion, community & creativity at its core and ever to the fore. =

MORE INFO: www.artsforart.org

= All recordings are exclusive to this compilation, and were made at the 2nd Annual Vision Festival, which took place at the Orensanz Art Center, L.E.S., May 28–June 1, 1997 =

/// The Vision Festival presents art on the terms that uphold and expand the concepts of each musician, dancer, painter, and poet – those who have died and laid down the tracks and those who are still creating. A masterpiece is an ongoing project that lasts a lifetime. Art must be presented, it must be seen and heard. It is for the enrichment of all those who attend and those who do not. It is about lights shining and not being buried. It is ultimately about the greatest art, that is, living. ///

"This compilation of live tracks from 1997's Vision Festival is more than just the documentation of a particular event. The Festival, which brought together the core of the AUM Fidelity label's roster (David S. Ware, William Parker, Other Dimensions in Music, Matthew Shipp) with the likes of John Zorn, Thurston Moore, Butch Morris and many others, was more than a series of concerts. Forgive the soapbox stance but it's an indication that improvisation, as inherited from the free jazz pioneers of the late fifties and early sixties, is now the source of a vital community of artists that are, against huge odds and commercial apathy, forging a coalition that is cutting across lines. Those lines can be seen as musical, generational, geographical, economic, and even racial but the important thing is that this thing is happening.

"All of which wouldn't mean much if this double CD set didn't deliver some primo listening, which it does in volume. The performances here shift from the cascading scree and dizzying drumming of Rashied Ali's Prima Material to the remarkable inner workings of William Parker and The Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra to Mark Dresser's remarkably subtle bass solo on "Bosnia." There's a real gem to be found in Thurston Moore/Lawrence Cook/Jon Voigt trio's "Fuzz Against Junk," which features beautifully subtle guitar-bass interplay that builds off the best traditions of the rock power trio and moves into transparent waters. Most importantly, Vision Volume One fulfills the prime directive of any compilation; it entices you to check out the recordings of the artists represented. Personally, that will mean the pursuit of Other Dimensions in Music and The Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra." –Bruce Adams, Your Flesh

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

It's almost hard to believe there's any space for Tim to fit in when they play this stuff as a duo! The magical uber-complex counterpoint flowing from and resolving to the killer tunes has a similar feel to the full band Berne but these are clarifying in their complexity - you can understand all the moving parts on the same level. Also perhaps the best showcase of Mr Mitchell's solo skills I've heard - he's fully in his element! Giles
