		At the outset, jazz was slow to win acceptance by the general public, not only because of its cultural origin, but also because it tended to suggest loose morals and low social status.
		Jazz is generally thought to have begun in New Orleans, spreading to Chicago, Kansas City, New York City, and the West Coast.
		The influence of two swing musicians, the tenor saxophonist Lester Young and the drummer Jo Jones, was of paramount importance in influencing the harmonic and rhythmic direction of bop.

	A World in Two Cities
		Free jazz broke the bonds of melody, harmony, and rhythm as they were commonly understood; the emotions and soul came to the forefront.
		Free jazz musicians were vilified and regarded as charlatans, but if you go and listen to these recordings, there’s no denying their validity, power, and eloquence.
		Drawing his influences from the blues, free jazz and the avant-garde, he made music and poetry that was at once freakish and tradition-bound, nonsensical and intellectual, recalcitrant and disciplined-contradictions that kept his work consistently compelling from his early days right through his still-lamented retirement from recording in the '80s.

	CMT.com : David Murray : Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Murray's sound is deep, dark, and furry with a wide vibrato -- reminiscent of such swing-era tenorists as Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins.
		Murray's early work was exceedingly raw, based as it was on the example of Ayler, who had a penchant for multiphonics, distorted timbres, extremes of volume, and forays into the horn's uppermost reaches and beyond.
		Murray's recording activity reached nearly absurd levels in the '80s and '90s; probably no contemporary jazz musician has led more dates on more labels.

	Bobby Bradford: Practicality, Responsibility & Creativity, Jazz West
		We got jazz record of the year in Japan and got five stars in one jazz magazine and four and a half in another one and we thought that we were on our way.
		Murray is arguably Bradford's most successful protege, and is certainly his most prolific -- Murray may be the most frequently recorded jazz musician of the last 50 years.
		Jazz improvisation is basically musical storytelling, with the soloist stringing together rhythms and melodies into a coherent narrative -- all in real time.

	Jazz Styles: Modern Jazz: Postmodernism
		David Murray is an example of a musician who creates syntheses of other styles of jazz and world musics.
		The musicians in this circle draw from various aspects of rock - particularly what may be termed "alternative" or "indie" rock - as well as freebop and other jazz styles.
		Most jazz musicians today also are familiar with some Latin styles such as bossa nova and mambo, and since those born after 1950 grew up in the rock era, most are comfortable with that music too.

		Jazz saxophonist David Murray hasn't played in Austin for over a decade, but he has bittersweet memories of his last visit here.
		Murray's two most recent albums, Windward Passages, a set of duets with pianist Dave Burrell on the Italian Black Saint label, and Fo Deuk Revue, a cross-cultural, jazz/world/hip-hop extravaganza recorded in Senegal with West African musicians, are just two of several new, recently completed projects.
		One of the great ironies faced by most jazz musicians - and Murray is no exception - is finding far greater acceptance and appreciation for their music in Europe and Japan than here at home.

	Europe Jazz Network - 3D Family - David Murray Creole Project
		David Murray Creole Project III is a fusion of the harmonic structures of jazz, the rythmic accentuations of the Ka Drum of Guadeloupe, and the ritmalistic vocalization in the langage of Creole.
		Murray's playing galvanizes musicians along with listeners, and creole bore down on the songs to match his drama and momentum; leaving tropical ease behind for the volatility of jazz.
		No way would the young David Murray bow down : his country was to be the state of free jazz, the last unconquered territory open to the jazzman at the end of the 20th century, where this born-and-bred Methodist would enconter Coltranian terrain and Aylerian temptations, which led him on to the Negro spiritual.

	»»Avant Garde and Free Jazz Music Reviews««
		David Murray's "Ming" is simply one of the best jazz albums of all time; a contemporary and progressive album that is also rooted in jazz traditions.
		Rather than seek their fortune with the jazz fusion that was popular at the time, Murray and his loft co-horts sought to consolidate the ideas of the avant garde and free jazz movements of the Sixties and Seventies while adding their own ideas.
		Murray's writing and arranging talents were readily apparent on "Ming," a welcome addition to a jazz scene that had de-valued such strengths for a number of years.

		As a saxophone soloist, Murray achieves a rare orchestral range; his signature "power grooves" are charged with bold altissimo leaps and buzz with purposeful multiphonic drones.
		Murray breaks the Octet into smaller touring units with players such as pianists Dave Burrell and John Hicks; bassists Richard Davis, Ray Drummond, Johnny Dyani, and Reggie Workman; drummers Ed Blackwell, Ralph "Power" Quartet, and John Micks.

	David Murray
		He's adapted the expressive techniques of his former free jazz self (slurred glissandi, indefinite pitches, ambiguous rhythms, and altissimo flights) to his straight-ahead playing, with good results.
		He was introduced to jazz while a student in the Berkeley school system, playing alto sax in a school band.
		Murray moved to New York at the age of 20, during the city's Loft Jazz era -- a time when free jazz found a home in deserted industrial spaces and other undervalued bits of urban real estate below 14th street.

		The second came in the 1970s as a critical mass of undisputed jazz legends died off or faded from sight, taking a big chunk of the industry with them.
		Few jazz musicians who came up in the '70s or later -- well, even the '60s -- got the sort of exposure that would turn them into legends in the public mind.
		Murray has never had a box set, a best-of, a compilation of any sort.

	Jazz Middelheim - Randy Weston African Rhythms Trio featuring David Murray
		Randy Weston was once, in 1976, billed on Jazz Middelheim for a solo act but in fact he turned up as a duo.
		Of that generation Monk is very probably his greatest source of inspiration and in his turn he came up with a very distinct sonority, and he manages to captivate his audience even on an inferior instrument.
		David Murray and the Low Class Conspiracy were the young iconoclasts who, in 1977, brought uncomplicated, sharply honed figures to the Den Brandt Park.

		As brilliantly at ease in classical music as in jazz, he applied and was denied a place in symphony orchestras.
		None of the jazz labels has asked him to head a session as a leader and instrumentalist or as a composer.
		Murray, himself notably outspoken, has said: "A lot of people have lost the idea of having a signature sound.

		Behind them were the musicians, and as they walked, they began to play, marching toward the cemetery several miles away.
		Content to ride out the jazz age as a self-taught bass player, he let his first instrument, the fiddle, spend most of its time in its case until the accidental launch of a second musical career at age seventy-two.
		But his first Epistle to David Sillar, who was one of Burns’ closest friends during his early adulthood, is firmly inscribed “To Davie, a Brother-Poet, Lover, Ploughman and Fiddler,” and shows that he regarded fiddling as one of his finest accomplishments.

		Initially an inheritor of an abstract-expressionist improvising style originated in the 1960s by such saxophonists as Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp, David Murray eventually evolved into something of a mainstream tenorist, playing standards with conventional rhythm sections.
		Murray's sound is deep, dark, and furry with a wide vibratoreminiscent of such swing-era tenorists as Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins.
		The sheer audacity of his concept, the passionate fury of his attack, and the spontaneity of his linesin other words, the manifest success of his aestheticmake questions of right and wrong irrelevant.
