James Newton Quartet

 

Rhythm 'n' Flow Records Announces  James Newton Quartet - Live In Willisau Switzerland 1983 Featuring Geri Allen on Piano, Anthony Cox on Bass,  and Andrew Cyrille on Drums [CD] 11/7

In the spring of 1983, a newly conceived version of the JAMES NEWTON QUARTET appeared on the European jazz scene. After four decades, producer Stephan Meyner contacted James Newton when they realized that, unfortunately, the quartet had never released a recording.  This changed when Meyner unearthed a 1983 recording of the quartet from Willisau in Switzerland. A few months before the tour, James Newton had heard about a fantastic young pianist, composer, and scholar from Detroit who was completing her master's degree in ethnomusicology at the University of Pittsburgh: Geri Allen.  The members of the JAMES NEWTON QUARTET for this European tour included Geri Allen on piano, Anthony Cox on bass, and Andrew Cyrille on drums. The recording from Willisau is one of the first recordings in Geri Allen's long, historic, and outstanding career. Bassist, composer, and bandleader Anthony Cox has immense, highly virtuosic mastery of his instrument, plays with great sensitivity, contributes to every nuance of the ensemble with incredible technical skill and responds to it with confidence, switching skilfully and fluently between different styles. Andrew Cyrille is one of the most respected drummers jazz has ever produced. His ensembles and compositions have contributed greatly to the tradition he embodies. He is known for his enthusiastic collaborations with modernists such as David Murray, Muhal Richard Abrams, Mal Waldron, Horace Tapscott, Peter Brötzmann, and Oliver Lake. The recording's repertoire includes Charles Mingus' loving tribute to Charlie Parker, "Reincarnation of a Lovebird," Geri Allen's masterpiece, "The Printmakers," and two originals by James Newton: "Forever Charles," dedicated to Mingus, and "Pinkie Below," the nickname given to Newton's young son James III by one of his uncles because he was the youngest grandson in the family and was born with light skin.

Hump Day & Chill

Peacemaker (John Cena) & Superman (David Corenswet)

What does one get when the cross Peacemaker (John Cena) & Superman (David Corenswet)???

A Whole lotta testosterone for a Hump Day & Chill!!!

Not sure where or where or when this photo was taken, but what a delicious feast for the eyes these two make.

Because: Even though David Corenswet appears as Superman on Peacemaker Season 2 his role is non-speaking and uses previously filmed plates, not new footage of the actor. He was not present on set, but rather his image was incorporated into the scene to replace the Justice League from Season 1 and align with the new DC Universe continuity. 

Thus I will venture a guess since Mr. Cena is dressed in street clothes that he visited the set of 

Superman to get this nifty shot.

Look Up! and Hump Day & Chill Minions!
