Wedge (1961). Roger Reynolds

I don't have much opportunity to blog about Roger Reynolds...

Following the lead of writer/economist Barry Ritholtz, here's my 10 track random shuffle:

1. Accutane. Corey Dargel. Less Famous Than You
2. Celebration After Billy's Capture (Billy the Kid Movement 5).  Bill Frisell . Aaron Copland.    Have A Little Faith   
3. The Seasons - Finale (Prelude I). Margaret Leng Tan. John Cage. Daughters Of The Lonesome Isle 
4. North American Ballads: No. 4: Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues. Marc-André Hamelin.     Frederic Rzewski. The People United Will Never Be Defeated
5. Wedge (1961). Roger Reynolds. Music From The Once Festival 1962 (Disc 2)   
6. Somos Tres. Harold Budd-Ruben Garcia-Daniel Lentz. Music For 3 Pianos 
7. Masters of Illusion.   DJ Spooky
8. Etude VII. Philip Glass. Etudes For Piano Vol. I, No. 1-10 
9. Exotic Mysteries. Lonnie Liston Smith. Explorations: The Columbia Recordings 
10. Night Fantasies. Carter. Ursula Oppens.  Plays American Piano Music of Our Time   

Whew. Fortunately, nothing embarrassing like Black Sabbath's Iron Man or Lynyrd Skynyrd or Jimmy Eat World (when did I get Jimmy Eat World?) or Igor Stravinsky or System of a Down or Kenny G or Love or ...

Aufheben's shuffle list includes Steve Reich's Dolly from Three Tales.

For those of us who haven't yet invested in the ONCE Festival box set, I found that Wedge is available in streaming audio at Art of the States:

I never thought about it before, but at $71 new at Berkeley Amoeba, the Once Festival box set is, I think, the most expensive recording I've ever purchased. So, yes, "investment" is an appropriate word.
