What live music are you going to see tonight?

Last night, Jaimie Branch took the roof off Cafe Oto. 

First set was Fly Or Die which was very good but the second set was something else. The set seemed to be one piece most likely titled 'Prayer For America' a phrase that featured prominently in Branch's spoken word contributions taking a swipe at "wide-eyed racists' and others. It wasn't overly difficult to understand the motivations for this piece. 

The band, Chad Taylor, Jason Ajemian, Lester St. Louis were fabulous playing free and funky as hell

Announcement and actual line-up are often two pairs of shoes: Line-up in Kassel: David Murray (ts, bcl), David Bryant (p) instead of Orrin Evans (p), Jaribu Shahid (b), Eric McPherson (dr) instead of Nasheet Waits (dr) + Saul Williams (poetry, spoken words) added (!!!). Nevertheless: Passionate, profound, blues soaked, energetic jazz with poetry and spoken words – unforgettable!

On my to do list now:

DAVID MURRAY feat. SAUL WILLIAMS: BLUES FOR MEMO. MOTEMA MTMO256 [2018]

Eva Maria Pollerus, Cembalo

Terra incognita
Die Cembalomusik G. Ph. Telemanns - Suiten, Fugen, Choräle, Konzerte, Galanterien

pollerus_eva_quer_1920.jpg

Going to see and hear my colleague from the Frankfurt Musical University, Eva Maria Pollerus, tonight, she plays a solo harpsichord recital with music by Georg Philipp Telemann exclusively. It is part of a new concert series inaugurated this summer devoted to Telemann, who worked and lived in Frankfurt for a few years early in his career, published his first prints there etc. Still an underrated composer, even though he may be the one most representative of the baroque music of his time, and by far the most influential in Germany.

Just got back from hearing 2 sets at Kitano by Jerry Bergonzi, with Bruce Barth, Harvie S, Victor Lewis and Phil Grenadier. Still making plans for tomorrow, to the Vanguard on Monday...

Some of these guys do a lot of travelling! Have seen Bergonzi and Barth and Mike LeDonne's Quartet with Eric Alexander here in the past few weeks.

Saturday was a good day for live music. In the afternoon I caught the Bennie Wallace Trio with Matt Dwonszyk and Carmen Intorre at a record store appearance in Wethersfield, CT.

I then drove to Brooklyn, NY to hear William Parker's In Order To Survive with Rob Brown, Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver.

Two very different shows, but both very good.

Maybe the most famous are the early February shows - triple bill:

Allman Brothers Band

Love

Grateful Dead

plus during the 2/11/70 show Duane Allman played with the Dead for a section of one of the shows. The 2/13 & 2/14/70 Grateful Dead shows are among the best the boys ever played and thankfully the best of the electric sets are immortalized on Dick’s Picks 4.

plus we have the Dead back-to-back with Miles I believe in April and/or June 1970. The original King Crimson with Greg Lake & Michael Giles in December 1969 and many more.
