What live music are you going to see tonight?
kh1958 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Jonathan Fisher Quartet with Shelley Carrol, last night the Balcony Club. Highlight for me was the performance of Mingus' Duke Ellington Sound of Love. -

Yes, Andre 3000 stole my seat. But seriously, the Shabaka concert at Big Ears was a great concert, one of the very best I heard at the Festival.

At the Shabaka Big Ears concert, my preferred seating at the Bijou Theater (a balcony above the right side of the stage) was blocked off and reserved for some "VIPs." So I went to the Balcony on the other side. I assume it was for Andre 3000 and his entourage, who also was performing at the Festival. The theater was kept very dark throughout the concert, so you could not see who it was, and at the end of the concert when the lights came up, the VIPs had been safely escorted away (whew!). Up with Donald Byrd (Verve) Lou Donaldson, Musty Rusty (Cadet) Don Byas, MIdnight at Minton's (Onyx)

Newport Jazz Festival 70th Anniversary
kh1958 replied to tranemonk's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
The Festival has not fundamentally changed. There is still the Jazz Tent, which is all Modern Jazz, with ten to twelve National/International headliners spread out over the course of the festival (this year including Kenny Barron, Charles Lloyd, Lakecia Benjamin, Terence Blanchard, Nicholas Payton, Samara Joy, Stephon Harris, Legacy of Wayne Shorter, and Amina Figarova). There is also Economy Hall, which is all New Orleans traditional jazz. There is a Blues stage, a Gospel stage, a World music stage (this year they have three African bands and twenty (!) bands from Columbia), a stage that is mostly modern brass bands, a stage that is mostly zydeco, an interview stage (some jazz artists), a diverse obscure music stage including some jazz (Lagniappe Stage). Then three large stages that feature (though not exclusively) pop bands. The latter three are very easy to ignore, as I do. (The exception is the egomaniacal Rolling Stones, who this year are appearing and requiring all other stages to shut down when they perform.) You only need one stage at a time. -

kh1958 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Last night, Herbie Hancock at the Winspear Opera House. -
The other notables for that weekend were a version of George Wein's Newport All Stars which featured Buddy Tate and Norris Turney (a rare opportunity to hear an Ellingtonian hero live) and a trip to Snug Harbor for Mose Allison. On the other hand, I made the "wrong" choice in selecting the Donald Harrison/Terence Blanchard in the Jazz Tent (the band was good but...) over Jay McShann (at the same time in Economy Hall), who I never had another opportunity to see.

I saw the Timeless All Stars in 1987 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was the same band as on the recordings, and the only time I got to see Harold Land in concert.

Why no Horace Silver Blue Note box?
kh1958 replied to tranemonk's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Spiritualizing the Senses is a very good record; the rest of them (all the vocal recordings), no thanks. -
-
It is the McCoy Tyner Trio from 1986 (Avery Sharpe on bass, Louis Hayes on drums); there is one trio track; one quartet track with Joe Henderson added; one quartet track with Freddie Hubbard added; and finally, the closing track with both Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson. Yes, it's the awesome Freddie Hubbard I remember from concerts during the 1980s. Lakecia Benjamin, Phoenix (Whirlwind Recordings)
