1999 was the one year I lived near enough to New York City that I could head in if I wanted to skip work the next day. This is from the Spring of 1999. I saw Andrew Hill and his sextet play there March 13, which I know because Andrew signed an LP and dated it. It was really one of my more memorable Jazz shows. They recorded it for release but there was some sort of technical glitch, so they recorded them again and that was what was released.
For a short time in the summer of 2004, Amesbury, MA had a nice pub downtown that offered live Jazz nights. You know I had to go when pianist Alex Minasian brought Curtis Fuller in for a show. This is timely finding this, as Alex is coming to Jimmy's in Portsmouth, NH tonight and I'm sitting right up front with my two daughters.
