music micro-review: intersections [1985-2005] by bruce hornsby

I’m listening through Bruce Hornsby’s Intersections [1985-2005] box set that came out in ’06 and I’m really enjoying it. I guess the new year is making me wax nostalgic for some reason…

The set is a 4 CD / 1 DVD retrospective with a mixture of previously unreleased live recordings, unreleased studio recordings, and album cuts. The boxed set’s title emphasizes the large number of musical collaborations Hornsby has embarked upon during his career.

My favorites tunes so far on the box set are:

>the simple piano/vocal recording [with an extended improv intro] of “The Way It Is”

>all of his solo piano pieces “Song A,” “Song B,” “Song C,” “Song D,” “Variations on Swan Song & Song D” , “Song F”, and “Song H”

>”Spider Fingers/Tempus Fugit” of which Hornsby says in the liner notes, “one of the most popular and requested songs in our ‘book’…much to the chagrin and hatred of managament…” “Tempus Fugit” is an old “Bud” Powell tune that Hornsby improvs over at the end of “Spider”

>my favorite all-time Hornsby tune, “Fortunate Son” with Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” closing out the song

If you are a Hornsby fan, I think you will really dig Intersections.

Bruce is a freak of nature. Glad you are digging it. Too bad more people don’t appreciate him.

Are you coming to my presentation on the 22nd? It will be at the seminary at 5:30 in the preaching chapel. I assume this is in the brand new building. Hope you can make it. I think you’ll find it very interesting.
