		JOE MORRIS: Actually, that tune, "Underthru," is a tune that I wrote in 1982 and I kind of rearranged it for the quartet because I have made four record with Mat Maneri in quartet situation.
		JOE MORRIS: Again, Mat Maneri and I, I have a couple of relationships with people that are controlled by total mind reading and Mat is one of them.
		JOE MORRIS: Well, I have the idea that whatever that has happened in jazz was invented by somebody and then people interpreted it for a hundred years.

		Joe Morris expresses that there are four regions to investigate which further the evolution of improvisatory music and technique.
		Morris mentions in the liner notes that the title is derived from the concept of being a ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ“receptorÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ”, it should be pointed out that antennae are also mandatory in the broadcast or transmission of information.
		Morris is a human buzz saw on ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ“Motion To The AirÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ” and sounds as if he were playing a violin...we may add that this is 100% technique and not due to electronics or sound shaping technology.

		Morris had played or recorded previously with all of them in different combinations, so they immediately click.
		The truth is, Morris and Maneri, and a handful of other talented Boston-area players, have been performing at this level for years.

	eye - Let freedom ring: Joe Morris - 01.28.99
		Morris doesn't play as if rock never happened (he has a sporadic trio called Sweatshop, which sort of answers the question, "What would the Jimi Hendrix Experience have sounded like playing free jazz?"), but he eschews the distortion and electronic stomp boxes that have become popular in the rock era.
		Morris uses such techniques pretty much all the way through "Renascent," an improvised duet with Maneri: sproingy hammer-on clusters give way to blurry, slip-sliding balalaika runs; then there are moments when you might find yourself unable to distinguish between guitar and violin.
		Morris frequently stresses the primacy of melody in his playing, yet for much of his solo in the hyperactive "Radiant Flux" he spews out notes with such rapidity that he seems to be stippling in an area of potential melodic activity rather than actually playing melodically.

	2004 Morris Lecture Introduction
		Joe Alex inherited an interest in international news from his father, Joe Alex Morris Sr., who had served as a foreign editor of United Press International and then the New York Herald Tribune.
		There was a bit of dash to Joe, part of the image of the period that set foreign correspondents apart as bold, adventuresome and somewhat glamorous.
		The task of getting Joe Alex Morris' body out of Tehran became an international mission that took a week and was accomplished by a sad but intrepid group of friends who gathered with Joe's wife, Ulla, in a white stucco house in an old district of Athens.

	Joe Morris - Age of Everything (Riti), Steve Lantner Trio - Saying So (Riti)
		Joe Morris, who's rightly gotten a lot of press lately, is featured on both, and Steve Lantner's been raking in compliments for recent releases on Leo in the UK.
		Only when Morris can squeeze through for a solo does the music really fly, and, even then, Morris is all virtuosity, with little in the way of unconventional technique, which we all know he's capable of.
		Morris' presence, however, is notable for those who keep a close eye on the man's discography, as his bass shows itself to be far less individual than his guitar, and it's hard to remember that he's even on this record, as he's almost inaudible much of the time.

		Morris took his audience back to the reservation at Indian Wells, Ariz., where he was born in 1926, painting a rich sepia word picture of a place "where there is no electricity, no running water, no school...
		Morris denied fear to the Marine, but admitted to his audience at NASA, "I lied." He said he didn't want his own admission of fear to compound any fear in his compatriots.
		Joe Morris came home, a silent hero whose contributions could not be acknowledged publicly because the Marine Corps wanted to retain the veil of secrecy around Navajo Code Talkers in case their services were needed again.

		I suspect Joe also would be discouraged by the state of American news media today, perhaps more U.S.-focused than ever, with [an emphasis] on the sensational.

		Joe Morris calls the guitar "really an unruly piece of machinery." And, "The people who have managed to do something relevant with it have all manipulated it into something new." Joe Morris has been able to do just that.
		Thus Joe has also put together challenging combinations: duets with William Parker and Matthew Shipp;, a trio with Ken Vandermark and Hans Poppel;, a quartet with Shipp, Parker, and Whit Dickey; his quartet with Mat Maneri; a trio with Mat and father Joe Maneri.

		It's good timing that Joe Morris can be heard in Branford the same week that the Yale School of Music hosts a concert by the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine.
		Both Morris and Jones were touched by John Coltrane--Jones more directly, as a longtime drummer for the tenor-sax revolutionary, and Morris as a young, largely self-taught guitarist who had his head turned around by Coltrane's album OM.
		Morris, a New Haven native who spent much of his career in Boston, has recently released a slew of stuff on the Stony Creek-based Riti Records label.

		Morris played his bass standing right next to Lantner, and the two engaged in a musical dialogue in which their improvisatory communication mirrored their proximity.
		This is especially striking when you consider that Morris has really only been performing as a bassist for a few years; his other musical exploits were and are as a guitarist.
		Joe Morris and Steven Lantner's CDs are available on Riti Records through AUMFidelity.com.

		One night before a show, I had the opportunity to overhear a conversation Joe Morris was having with another member of the audience.
		Morris rarely offers more than a hint at the harmonic elements involved in his playing; the rest of the sound space is left wide open for the listener to fill in.
		While Morris has done some of his most exciting work in trios, quartets, and larger groups, the solo setting offers a completely unfettered opportunity for him to explore ideas.

		Joe Morris was born in New Haven, Connecticut and it was the sounds of the Beatles that led him to his first guitar.
		While his fellow avant-garde guitarists opt for distortion to help push their music in new direction, Morris maintains a traditional tone that is supported by a non-traditional vision.
		Morris and Maneri played together on many of Morris’ albums and they are no strangers to each other’s playing styles.

		Joe Morris is chasing William Parker for the right to be the whore of the New York jazz scene.
		Morris serves as the meat of Soul Search, while Maneri is more like the icing on the cake.
		I'm not familiar with other recordings of Maneri's, but for Morris this is a nice diversion from some of his other works and proof of his imagination and virtuosity.

		The first recording on Joe Morris’s own label, Riti Records, is a CD called Age of Everything.
		This is a trio recording featuring Joe Morris on guitar, Timo Shanko on string bass and Luther Gray on drums.
		The bass and the drums follow suit in tone, timbre, tempo, and touch in their solo launches, which are extremely generous in length and frequency.

	Joe Morris biography & discography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Born in New Haven, Connecticut on September 13, 1955, Joe Morris was the very first guitarist to release an album as a leader on Soul Note in that label's long and illustrious history.
		He builds his playing on a broad variety of influences, from the harmolodic styles of Bern Nix and Blood Ulmer to West African string music; from ESP piano legend Lowell Davidson, something of a mentor to Morris, to John MacLaughlin and such horn players as Jimmy Lyons.
		In the mid-'80s Morris started his own label, riti records (named after a one-stringed African instrument), and issued the first documents of his unique musical conception.

		I know Ken Vandermark has been a Joe Morris fan since he lived in Boston, and placing Morris alongside the DKV Trio was an inspired move.
		Kent Kessler and Joe Morris duet on two tracks here, both of which are jaw dropping in their lyrical qualities and warmth.

	A visit with Joe Morris
		Joe Morris explains how he healed bare ground on the landslide behind him by seeding, spreading hay, and feeding cattle.
		Said Morris, "David Amme, who is passionate about native grasses, said 'rest is not working -- we've got a morgue out here.'" Morris, by providing fencing, water points, and a plan to regenerate biodiversity, particularly perennial grasses, was able to lease the grazing at a low rate.
		Morris has also seen changes under his management on the home place.

	Joe Morris Quartet \| Underthru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Here, Morris and his long time associates, violinist Mat Maneri, drummer Gerald Cleaver, and bassist Chris Lightcap offer listeners a slightly different perspective as we feel that this recording may open up a few more doors for Morris and his band.
		Here, Morris and his estimable bandmates pursue some common threads and ideas as they perform a little magic with blues riffs, recurring themes and toe-tapping meter which is quite evident on the first piece and title track, ï¿½Underthruï¿½.
		Morris works the inside with blazing single note lines on ï¿½”Two Busses And A Long Walk”ï¿½ as this piece commences with a somewhat subdued or loose vibe yet evolves climactically as Maneri follows suit with gritty, fierce improv via wistful statements.

	Whit Dickey’s Trio Ahxoloxha, Prophet Moon / William Parker, Joe Morris and Hamid Drake, Eloping with the Sun
		As so often with Morris, one gets the impression on this disc that he’s burrowing inside the music; a sense of an inner calm persists even as the complexities and volume build, and there are as many passages of cooled-out chordal dissonance as of Morris’s trademark agitated picking.
		Such restraint makes his blistering solo on “Riptide” all the more striking: it’s so densely packed that it sounds disconcertingly like a cut-up, as if someone’s loaded a dozen bop guitar albums into a computer, crunched them all down to a single solo, and played it back too fast.
		But elsewhere, Morris recedes to the edges of the music, his quiet revolving figures sometimes suggesting the rhythms of the world musics that obsess him, sometimes something mechanical.
