The Pace Report: "Revisiting Another Earth" The Gary Bartz Interview with Pharoah Sanders & Charles Tolliver
Welcome to this special edition of The Pace Report. One of the many highlights of this year's 2019 New York City Winter Jazz Fest is Revive Music's set featuring legendary saxophonist Gary Bartz performing music of the 50th anniversary of "Another Earth" at the famed le Possion Rouge.
Released in 1968, "Another Earth" was Bartz's second release as a leader featuring Pharoah Sanders, Charles Tolliver, Stanley Cowell, and Freddie Waits. The album was produced by NEA Jazz Master and legendary jazz producer Orrin Keepnews released on Milestone Records.
Gary was in town all week for Jazz Congress, Winter Jazz Fest performances, and performed at trumpeter Roy Hargrove's memorial service.
I had a chance to sit down with Gary to talk about and reflect on "Another Earth" 50 years later, him interacting with the original musicians, and his role as a bandleader. Also, reflect on the life of Roy Hargrove, and his role as a composer and jazz educator.
Revive Music's "Another Earth" performance features Gary Bartz on alto saxophone, Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone, Charles Tolliver on trumpet, James King on Bass, Bruce Edwards on guitar, and Nasheet Waits on drums. #2019NYCWJF #ReviveMusic #GaryBartz #ThePaceReport #PharoahSandersÂ
