mjzee Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just came back from the Trio 3 concert. Nice! Audience of around 250. Good acoustics, esp. after they brought Workman's bass up in the mix. Lake has a fat, powerful tone. Cyrille was just wonderful - he was everywhere, but didn't overpower. They played 2 sets.

mjzee Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) I've uploaded the photos I took of the show to Photobucket. These were shot with the highest zoom setting, so many shots are somewhat blurry, but I hope the spirit of the evening comes through.

street singer Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) This sounds good; working myself up to willingly go to Houston is a bit of a hard sell though. This coming from someone who lives in Dallas?! Guys... Houston's not so bad. Really. Really!!! (why are you all looking at me like that...?)

JSngry Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Seriously, I really don't like the way people drive in Houston, and the humidity is ridiculous (and this coming from someone who lives in Dallas). Other than that, hey, home is home, and not home is not home. That, and every time I go down there, it seems like there's always some kind of tenseness going on. I was in a convenience store just a few years ago where there was a "classic" Asian storeowner/AfricanAmerican customer showdown that resulted in all customers being booted out of the store and the place locked up and darked out, all in the space of about 15 minutes. The whole thing was surreal, b/c the storeowner was dumb, the customer just as dumb, and nobody I was with got their soda pops and bags o'chips. Always seems like there's stupid going on. Always. Not that Dallas-area is any better, but it being home, I know where to go to not get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 We have hotel rooms for the week and tickets for the final concert. Will I meet any other board members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigP Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 We have hotel rooms for the week and tickets for the final concert. Will I meet any other board members? I'm talking with my wife about going down for the final concert as well. She's not a big fan of "freaky jazz", as she calls it, but she's a gamer. Hopefully we'll meet at the show.

Chuck Nessa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) It is the duo concert with Alvin Fielder that sealed the deal for me. My first day in a recording studio involved both of them. edit to add the final concert by the quartet is the same grouping as our recording "Snurdy McGurdy and Her Dancin' Shoes", with the omission of A. Spencer Barefield. Edited March 7, 2013 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sounds great. Houston isn't so far away, but with a two year-old and a job that affords no time off, neither travel nor concerts are options. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
