kh1958's Achievements

  1. Here's a few of recent vintage. The Louisiana Music Factory is an excellent CD and record store. Derrick Shezbie, The Ghost of Buddy Bolden. Features Louis Ford and Carl LeBlanc (ex-Sun Ra guitarist).https://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/product/derrick-shezbie-the-ghost-of-buddy-bolden/ Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses, The Lookback Transmission. https://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/product/aurora-nealand-the-royal-roses-the-lookback-transmission/ Leroy Jones with Wendell Brunious, New Orleans Brass Band Music volume 2 https://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/product/leroy-jones-with-wendell-brunious-new-orleans-brass-band-music-vol-2-cd/ Charlie Gabriel, Eighty-Nine https://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/product/charlie-gabriel-eighty-nine-cd/
  2. When someone agrees with me, I start to think I'm not insane.
  3. Traditional New Orleans jazz is still alive and sounding good. I've got these bands on my schedule for visits to Economy Hall at the 2024 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Louis Ford and His New Orleans Flairs. Doreen's Jazz New Orleans. Joe Lastie's New Orleans Sound Charlie Gabriel and Friends Smoking Time Jazz Club Doctor Michael White's Tribute to Johnny Dodds Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses The Palm Court Jazz Band
  4. This past Thursday to Sunday, I attended my fifth Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was a fantastically fun experience once again. Opening Night: Henry Threadgill's Very Very Circus. Mr Threadgill did not play in this band, which included Marcus Rojas, Gene Lake and Brandon Ross. Started off a little slow, but was definitely in sync by the last 45 minutes or so, once they started featuring Brandon Ross on guitar. Charles Lloyd Quartet, with Jason Moran, Larry Grenadier and Eric Harland: Mr. Lloyd is 86 and still going strong. A very fine concert of music from his new recording. Friday; Jason Moran and the Harlem Hellfighters. This was another top notch concert, an impressionistic dedication to James Reese Europe. Henry Threadgill and Zooid: Henry Threadgill did play and lead the group in this concert. An extremely welcome opportunity to hear his unique alto sax at length. Fabulously eccentric music. Christian McBride Quintet: Back towards a more mainstream sound, I had never seen the virtuosic Christian McBride in concert before. This concert also introduced me to Nichole Glover on tenor sax. She was extremely impressive in this concert. Tomeka Reid Quartet, with Mary Halvorson. Nice quartet set at the Point. Darcy James Argue's Secret Society: Closing out the day in the fabulous Bijou Theater with an 18 piece big band (plus conductor). Great sound in the Bijou and interesting and complex compositions from the leader. Saturday: Leyla McCalla: Leyla McCalla is of Hatiian descent, lives in New Orleans, and plays Creole music on guitar/banjo/cello/vocals. Excellent set. David Virelles: Solo piano from Cuban born virtuoso. Myra Melford's Fire and Water: Back at the Bijou and featured some of the best live playing I've heard from Mary Halvorson. Dave Holland Quartet: Great set. Very impressed with pianist Kris Davis in this set. Also with Jaleel Shaw. Kokoroko: The U.S. debut concert of this London based, Afrobeat/jazz fusion group. Trumpet/trombone front line. A mixed bag but the best songs had their own sound and were quite enjoyable. Shabaka Hutchings: At the Bijou; no saxophone was played; Shabaka played a variety of flutes (and at the end, clarinet), coupled with harp, an Indian classical vocalist, bass guitar and drums. It was a stunning and extremely beautiful concert. Sunday: Air (Marty Ehrlich, Hilliard Greene and Pheeroan Aklaff): Once again, while Henry Threadgill did not play, his music as played by this group was amazing. Fatoumata Diawara: Great vocalist and guitarist from Mali put on a thrilling concert. Joe Henry and Julian Lage: It was enjoyable, if not my usual cup of tea. Julian Lage and the Speak to Me Band: Another stellar concert. Kris Davis shines again. Sadly, that was it; until (hopefully) next year
