Posted 19 October (edited) Sad to see little reaction to this event. Wonderful week in San Francisco, topped by the 4 days of “Other Minds 25”. Connected again with online friend Brooks Frank aka BFrank and musician friends Myra Melford, Mark Dresser, Hamid Drake, Tyshawn Sorey, Larry Ochs, Junius Paul, Vincent Davis, Mary Halvorson, James Fei, Tomeka Reid and specially old friends Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton. This was the best thing I can imagine for the past week. Edited 19 October by Chuck Nessa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was the best thing I can imagine for the past week. I had a great time, too. Hanging with Chuck and Ann was an extra treat. No doubt this music can be a little challenging at times (perhaps explains the muted reaction?), but the best way to experience it is live (IMO). And I think everyone attending the festival had a wonderful time. BTW, Tomeka was there as an audience member! Looking forward to next year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 October Very glad you are experiencing live music. The rollout back to live here in NYC for this sort of music is very slow with too many restrictions, IMO. I miss this music madly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had mask and vax requirements, but no one seemed to mind and I think it made for a more relaxed atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m vaccinated plus a booster shot 3 weeks ago so I’m feeling secure and safe wherever I go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
