I have tickets for Shabaka in London in a few weeks but the Barbican venue doesn't have boxes so Andre 3000 will have to slum it with the rest of us in the unlikelihood he turns up 😀
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.

And Andre is on the Shabaka album, one track
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)

I went to the second weekend of the New Orleans Jazzfest in both '90 and '91. Jazz fans were objecting to the non-jazz acts even then.
However, there was one stage that was 100% modern jazz. If you had no interest in anything else, you could at any time listen to the real deal.
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.

Have ever had them mail anything to you? That seems to be the wrinkle here. I placed the order last night, and at 3 PM today, they had no idea what I was talking about about. 15+ minutes on hold before they even began to figure it out. But my card has already been charged!
Ok, orders come in overnight. Pull them first thing in the AM. You don't have to pack and mail right away, just get them off the damn shelf. You've gotten paid, so that should be the least you can do.
Maybe they have their act more together than they present. I certainly hope so, because "we'll get to it when we get to it and if somebody else beats you to it, sorry, we'll get you a refund - when we get to it. In the meantime, we've got your money but we can't guarantee that you'll get your product" is not a good customer-facing look for any business.
Mail order is not for everybody, business and consumer. I think that in the case of me and Josey Records, that's the case for both of us.
I thought about doing it mail order, but then I decided to check the pick up myself box, as I've been on a post office losing streak lately.
-
I purchased two sets online; in a short time I got an email that they were ready to be picked up; when I got there they were set aside behind the counter waiting for me. No problem at all.

I'm jealous of you guys.
I saw Hutcherson a few times, but I never had an opportunity to see the Timeless All Stars.
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.

The strange thing is that when I was at the jazz festival Wiesen in 1983 the Timeless All Stars were scheduled and to my astonishment and delightment it was Jackie McLean, Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins. One of the best bands of acoustic jazz I ever heard. So it was "only" Hutch and Higgins from the "All Stars". Of course I heard the others separately, those artists were touring Europe pretty much in that period. Heard Harold Land with Diz the same year in autumn too. I saw also Max Roach very often, he was one of my first idols on drums and on music in general.
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.

Silver and Eddie Harris - reason enough for a box set reissue of the five Silveto albums.
Spiritualizing the Senses is a very good record; the rest of them (all the vocal recordings), no thanks.

Looks like a Dreamband, as if it would have been formed for my pleasure ! I see Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard, but never have heared about that record. who are the else ?
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.

But I did see a super intimate show in Vancouver: Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba. Still not sure how I managed to even hear about it, let alone find the place, since I was so fresh to Vancouver at that time. There is documentation on one song at least (so I know I wasn't imagining it...): https://vimeo.com/32016980
I saw Bassekou Kouyate last year at the Big Ears Festival--great set.
This year, Fatoumata Diawara at Big Ears (another great set) and upcoming, Mokoomba and Oumou Sangare at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
And inexplicably there is an upcoming African Music Festival in McKinney, Texas (north of Dallas), which so far has three bands from Zimbabwe announced (Mokoomba and Thomas Mapfumo).
It's looking like an exceptional year for the chance to see African bands live.
What vinyl are you spinning right now??
