T.D. Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Pedja Mužijević, solo piano concert "Bach Dialogues" J.S. Bach, Partita in C minor BWV 826 Fulmer, “whose fingers brush the sky” (2014) J.S. Bach, Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother BWV 992 Joslin, Cadaquésan Landscape (2017) J.S. Bach, Sarabanda con Partite BWV 990 This (free!) event was pretty good. The non-Partita Bach pieces are relative obscurities. The Fulmer piece involves piano "preparations" and strumming inside the piano; the Joslin piece utilizes 2 metronomes and a music box.

kh1958 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Tonight, the Brazilian rock band Boogarins at Deep Ellum Art Company, and Mdou Moctar. Consecutive nights of African music is almost inconceivable in Dallas. Tinariwen, a good band. Mdou Moctar, simply awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting blend of Brazilian and psychedelic. I liked them! Tinariwen is always good, too. Seen them 2-3 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Matt Mitchell’s group - I’m 99% sure this is a first time playing together ensemble. About a month ago, Jon Irabagon was listed as being included on saxophone. I’m not upset he’s been dropped as I’m still not on board to what he’s doing despite his obvious virtuosic abilities. That being said: Mitchell on piano & compositions Brandon Seabrook on electric guitar Ben Gerstein on trombone Mat Maneri on viola Kate Gentile on drums Gentile is new to me and I’ve been almost a year without seeing my favorite of all-favorites, the brilliant Mat Maneri show is @ 8:30 @ The Stone at New School’s Glass Box Theatre, 55 West 13th Street near 6th Avenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. All rock bands should have a horn section like this. (The girls too.) . This was last Monday. It took me this long to figure out how to post the photo. Edited September 19, 2019 by medjuck add note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom in RI Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Bill Frisell, solo, at an intimate theater in East Greenwich, RI. He had several pedals and used loops judiciously. Also played an acoustic interlude including a stunning workout on Moon River. I get out to shows almost never so this was quite a treat. The experience was marred somewhat by an annoying buzz in the stack on stage right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 SFJAZZ - Broken Shadows w/ Tim Berne, Chris Speed, Dave King, Reid Anderson. It's their Ornette (and related musicians) tribute. This is the second time I've seen them. Recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) On Friday I traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the Fifteenth annual Globalquerque. This diverse World Music festival has three stages and ten acts per night at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. On Friday night, I heard: Nohe y Sus Santos: A mixture of Latin Pop and Cumbias, featuring Honduran vocalist Nohelia Sosa. Not my usual fare, but a fine group. Mdou Moctar: Niger's guitarist extraordinaire presents shattering Saharan Desert blues. Natu Camara: Vocalist from Guinea is not bad. Finally for the evening, the wondrous Garifuna Collective from Belize present the music of the Garifuna people. And a new CD! On Saturday night: Sahba Motallebi: A revelatory concert for me, as the Iranian tar virtuoso presents Persian classical music with percussion accompaniment on tonbak. With music of some similarity to Indian classical music, including improvisation, she was utterly masterful. Finally, closing out with Vivalda Dula, from Angola, and the sound of East Africa. This was another welcome discovery. An excellent vocalist and performer with a fine band. Edited September 24, 2019 by kh1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Wednesday night I caught the Ingrid Laubrock quartet with Brandon Seabrook, Michael Formanek and Tom Rainey in Easthampton, MA. Tonight I will likely go hear the sextet with Tomeka Reid and Mazz Swift added at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffpeterson Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I was the same Ingrid Laubrock concert as relyles. Caught the Miles Davis documentary in Hudson Last night. Off to see Frank Wakefield, a bluegrass mandolin player, at the Parting Glass in Saratoga Springs tonight. Tomorrow night I plan on catching the Tony Malaby trio with Ben Monder and Billy Mintz at the Falcon in Marlboro And if I am really ambitious I might see Alvaro Domene, Michael Bisio and Nick Lyons at the Lace Mill in Kingston earlier in that afternoon.

I think this is a slightly smaller touring ensemble than I've seen in the past, only 6 members including a dancer (who at one point in the middle of the set did play 2 guitar pieces). It was a good show. This actually makes the 4th time I've seen them over the years -- twice in Chicago and twice in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Dallas, there were only four members (bass plus three guitar/vocalists), with a guest drummer. It was explained that the drummer was unable to obtain a U.S. visa.

I've seen a slightly larger configuration, and I think one time (in Chicago) they had joined up with female vocalists/dancers but that is quite rare.

jcam_44 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Patrick Shiroishi solo Baritone and Alto Saxophone, Tashi Dorji solo electric guitar and Makoto Kawashima solo alto saxophone. I left before they played as a trio since I had to working the next morning but Makoto was worth the sleep deprivation and trip alone. What an incredible artist he is.

mikeweil Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) We saw Ragna Schirmer replicate a concert Clara Schumann performed in Hamburg in 1878, on a Grotrian-Helfferich-Schulz piano from 1875 (from Schirmer's collection, identical to the piano Clara Schumann purchased in 1875). That piano was developped with Schumann's ideas, and combines the power of a modern instrument - it was one of the first models with a cast iron frame - with the colors of a Viennese piano from Beethoven's time. The "Waldstein" sonata sounded clearer on it than we are used to; Robert Schumann's "Carnaval" was great. Schirmer is a fantastic pianist rendering these pieces with power and not a trace of egomania. Edited October 5, 2019 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Jamaaladeen Tacuma trio featuring Gary Bartz. I've never heard of this guy, but I looked him up and now i do. I'm all set for it, Gary Bartz with electric bass and drums. I mean hell when was the last time you've seen Bartz w/ an electric bassist? The miles era?
