I'm seeing this two months late and I wouldn't have made it to Dallas from New York, but how did the gig go?

I'm enjoying the youtube clips right now.

Drawing heavily upon the energy of the free-jazz continuum as defined by Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus and John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Frode Gjerstad is a pioneer of Norwegian improvised music. His various ensembles have served as a training ground for the current (and most vital) generation of Norwegian experimental musicians. Gjerstad first came to prominence with British percussionist John Stevens' group in the 1980s, and later played in a trio with William Parker and Hamid Drake. His career has spanned over 30 years and has included collaborations with many of the leading lights of improvised and experimental music including Peter Brötzmann, Han Bennink, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Louis Moholo-Moholo, and noise musician Lasse Marhaug.

Powerhouse drummer Paal Nilssen-Love is no stranger to adventurous Austin music audiences. He has taken part in some of EpistrophyArts' most noted presentations including sold out performances by The Thing, The Peter Brotzmann Tentet, and Atomic. Nilssen-Love has established himself as a powerful and dynamic musician through his wide ranging collaborations with leading improvisors Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson, Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee and left-field rock artists like Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke,the Ex’s Andy and Terrie, and Fugazi's Guy Picciotto.

That should be a good show. I saw Frode with PNL in DC last year. Can't recall who the bass player was, maybe Vatel Cherry on a pick-up basis. Frode is one of those guys that I credit with "musical intelligence" (one of my highest compliments). The improvisation is smart and challenging. PNL is a terrific drummer. Last I heard, Frode had had some visa problems with DHS, apparently sorted out now.

No information is provided as to the group or nature of the performance (with the Dallas Symphony?).

At the Meyerson Symphony Hall:

An Evening with Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock is a true icon of modern music. Throughout his artistic explorations, he has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice. In addition to being recognized as a legendary pianist and composer, his illustrious career includes an Academy Award for his Round Midnight film score and 14 Grammy Awards, including 2008's Album of the Year.

i want to give a quick thanks to the members of this community for keeping this thread going and for helping to spread the word about concerts in the region. Speaking for Epistrophy Arts in Austin and for Nameless Sound in Houston, we appreciate your advocacy for authentic jazz and improvised music. We want to help build a viable touring network for this music and your help is essential. I hope you can make it down to Austin or Houston for the concerts and that you can tell your friends. I will post about upcoming stuff soon.... (John Butcher, Thomas Lehn, Gino Robair Trio) and The Thing with Joe McPhee!!!
