Here's a little info I found:
From Jerry Garcia to Max Roach, from Randy Weston to Elvin Jones, David Murray worked as widely as possible until 1978, when he set up his own quartet, then octet and finally his quintet. From this time on his focus is more on his own formations, although he frequently works with other musicians, drawing in a whole range of different sounds, from strings (the 1982 concert at the Public Theatre in New York), to Ka drums from Guadeloupe (Créole in 1998 and Yonn Dé in 2002) and South African dancers and musicians (Mbizo, 1998), just some of the treasures he has discovered on his journeyŠ
David Murray's awards include : a Grammy and several nominations; a Guggenheim Fellowship; the Bird Award; the Danish Jazzpar Prize; Village Voice musician of the decade (1980s); Newsday musician of the year (1993); personality of the Guinness Jazz festival (Ireland, 1994); the Ralph J. Simon Rex Award (1995). Two documentaries have been made about David Murray's life : "Speaking in Tongues" (1982) and "Jazzman", nominated at the Baltimore Film Festival (1999).
"Murray's music stems from the post-free movement, combining the innovations of free in the 70's and New Orleans jazz. It is characterized by its paroxystic effects, producing a harsh, extreme sound. He draws explicitly on African traditions, and symbolizes a return to a raw sound". From Le Dictionnaire du jazz, éd. Laffont, 1995

I can see Questlove, Ornette Coleman, and David Murray coming out together with a few other people to jam. They still have a lot of good artists on the way for roo...woooohooo.
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."

Woohoo... David Murray. This man will slay you. While some people really are not going to be excited about this David Murray and the Ornette addition from earlier could change my Bonnaroo experience. The other thing to think about is Black Saint is the label he is on so im assuming that he is going to have an amazing all-star line up...
Hey... You've hit a milestone RooSkew.. congrads...
Interesting he wasn't named in the Jazz release too... makes me wonder if this next addition won't be gigantic...
His name is on the Jazz release:
SOMETHIN’ ELSE 2007 LINE-UP:
SCOTT AMENDOLA BAND FEAT. NELS CLINE DON BYRON PLAYS JUNIOR WALKER FEAT. CHRIS THOMAS KING RAVI COLTRANE QUARTET LOU DONALDSON & DR. LONNIE SMITH QUARTET ROBERT GLASPER TRIO STEFON HARRIS & BLACKOUT LIONEL LOUEKE MAGO FEAT. BILLY MARTIN & JOHN MEDESKI STANTON MOORE TRIO DAVID MURRAY QUARTET THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT JACKY TERRASSON TRIO DOUG WAMBLE TRIO
straight from bonnaroo.com, so with Stanton Moore Trio, David Murray Quartet announced, the possibility of more additions keep getting slimmer and slimmer.
