Makanda Ken McIntyre: In the Wind
by Rex Butters
In the Wind adds a much-needed title to the sadly thin discography of tireless educator, wind master, innovator, composer, and African American music activist Makanda Ken McIntyre. The late McIntyre counted several remarkable classics among his recorded works, including Cecil Taylor's Unit Structures, performances with Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, Beaver Harris, and an appearance on ...
Makanda Ken McIntyre: In The Wind: The Woodwind Quartets
by Kurt Gottschalk
In his final years, multi-reedist Makanda Ken McIntyre was fond of saying in concert that a piece was off his last album, which came out more than twenty years prior. He would laugh, but the joke pointed out how criminally underdocumented he was during his life. In June 2001, that industry oversight was finally corrected with ...

Makanda Ken McIntyre: In The Wind: The Woodwind Quartets
by Jerry D'Souza
Makanda Ken McIntyre left behind a wealth of music, some of which appears on this recording. He was an innovator and, if memory need be jogged, this release serves to accomplish that in no uncertain terms. Recorded in 1995 and 1996, McIntyre transformed the music here by overdubbing instruments. That in itself may not mean much, ...
Makanda Ken McIntyre: In the Wind: The Woodwind Quartets
by AAJ Staff
Multi-intrumentalist Makanda Ken McIntyre seems to have invested as much of himself into education as performance, which is one reason he didn't accumulate more than a dozen records under his own name during his lifetime (1931-2001). But his work on these titles (from 1960's Stone Blues and Looking Ahead through 2001's A New Beginning ), as ...

Makanda Ken McIntyre: A New Beginning
by AAJ Staff
Saxophonist Ken McIntyre always had a thing about vision. His early records Looking Ahead, Open Horizon, and Chasing the Sun made explicit reference to his fascination with perspective, and his music has likewise reflected this focus. The ironically-titled A New Beginning marks McIntyre's last work as a leader--he died in July, 2001--and it's a logical step ...
