 | | Morris first became known as a lyrical, round-toned (if roughly hewn) free jazz cornetist. | | | Murray's big band music in the '80s was marked by Morris' presence as conductor. | | | A 1977 performance in Amsterdam with Murray's Low Class Conspiracy band (which included an overmatched Stanley Crouch [+] on drums) was recorded and released in two volumes on LP by Circle Records (a CD version that combined both volumes was reissued in 1990 by West Wind). |

| | Morris when he asked for more melodic and thematic development; to look at him revealed that he seemed to be painting the harmonies with his baton, upon the canvas of sound created by the Orchestra. | | | Morris began exploring the potential of pieces that were shaped by the Conduction process, without the use of notation, allowing him to use his interpretive commands to direct improvisation, building a theoretical bridge between the two traditions. | | | Using a conducting vocabulary consisting of hand signals and baton commands, he is able to instruct the band in the application of melody, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics, effectively allowing him to compose and conduct an improvised ensemble piece in real time. |

| | Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris is one of the leading innovators in the confluence of jazz, new music, improvisation and contemporary classical music. | | | Morris's work redefines the roles of composer, conductor, arranger and performer, and bridges the gap between the composer, the improviser and the classically oriented musician. | | | "Since 1985, Morris has been spreading the joys of 'Conduction,' his wondrous conducting system for the spontaneous organization of improvised music. |

| | Metroactive Music Butch Morris |
| | Although the sound combinations on the album draw from jazz, classical and various world traditions, the music is neither and all of these. | | | Born out of a desire to bring a structural flexibility to large-ensemble interaction, Morris uses a codified vocabulary of 18 gestures or hand signals to sculpt a "music of collective imagination." His system provides a focus for the musicmaking, yet it frees modern improvisers from the predetermined constrictions of the written page. | | | As composer, conductor and cornetist on nearly two dozen David Murray albums, Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris is a name familiar to most contemporary jazz fans. |

| | Avantgarde Music. Butch Morris: biography, discography, reviews, links |
| | Morris debuted as an improviser with a live album by a sextet, In Touch But Out Of Reach (Karma, 1978), that contained three tracks, including two lengthy meditations: Narobia (17:48) and Lovers Existing On The Dunes (19:55). | | | Morris thus became a sculptor of music (not just of sound), capable of determining through gestures the evolution of a musical piece. | | | But Morris (who was still playing in Murray's band) was more attracted by the concept of the big band and crafted another spectacular exaample of conducted improvisations: Dust To Dust (New World, 1991). |

| | A solitary Butch Morris took the stage Saturday, July 5th at Tonic to perform a tribute to music aficionado Irving Stone at a memorial concert featuring some of the greatest players of New York's downtown music community. | | | The term conductor/composer does not begin to adequately describe Morris' role in most of the music he creates. | | | To quote his website, “Conduction (conducted interpretation/ improvisation) is a vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures activated to modify or construct a real-time musical arrangement or composition. |

| | Butch Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Morris has gained more notice and acclaim directing various ensembles in what he calls Conduction (a term knowingly borrowed from science): a type of structured improvisation where Morris directs and conducts an improvising ensemble with a series of hand and baton gestures. | | | Drummer Charles Moffett conducted improvisations of jazz musicians in the 1970s, and Morris credits Moffett as a major influence. | | | In his travels and many recorded conductions, Morris has worked with a wide variety of musicians. |

| | As a member of various contemporary music ensembles, Zoë Martlew has recorded regularly for radio and CD and performed extensively around the world. | | | SB: One of the things I constantly end up quoting is something that Evan Parker said years ago which was that, "Improvisation is a process that defines its own form." I really like that - it explains a lot about how we put the music together. | | | Aleksander Kolkowski has played as a session musician with The Damned, formed the improvising ensemble Ubiquity Orchestra, collaborated widely with players such as Sainkho Namchylak, Tristan Honsinger and Tony Oxley, composed music for film, dance and theatre. |

| | Conduction allows the band leader to manage the flow of the music, but more importantly control who is playing, what they are playing and when they are playing it. | | | To prevent Burnt Sugar’s music from devolving into self-indulgent jam band territory, early in the group’s development Tate began using conduction, a system of baton gestures devised by Butch Morris. |
