clifford_thornton Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Anybody here see the Thing (+ Joe McPhee) at the Victory Grill in Austin, or at MECA in Houston? Caught both gigs, and the Houston show in particular was superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Just a reminder for Dallas area folks: I'll be at the Sammons Center in Dallas on May 2. Joining me is Shelley Carrol, Lynn Seaton and Andrew Griffith. I should have a few comps if anyone's interested. On May 1, I'll be at NTSU giving a piano master class (all can attend) and performing at the Student Union at 9:00pm. Only $5 cover. I was going to attend, but talk about bad timing--coinciding with torrential rains, hail and high winds bearing down on the city. I'm afraid I just went straight home.

We had trees in our street and shit. Not a night for leaving the burbs and going into where the weather was really bad. But I saw Shelley last night, and he said that the gig went well and that he really dug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Paul Bollenback turned out to be a good guitarist--plus he had Gary Thomas and Victor Lewis in his band. Also Ed Howard on bass and vocalist Chris Mcnulty. I was wondering why UTD seems to be the only college in Dallas regularly presenting jazz concerts--it appears the Dean of the college is a jazz fan--he introduced the concert and was actually sitting and attentively listening to the concert. Eastfield used to present jazz concerts years ago--I actually saw Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie and Henry Butler there, in Mesquite of all places.
