Wonderful quintet on Wednesday. At Jazz Gallery. Michael Attias on alto sax, Satoshi Takeishi on percussion, Eric McPherson on drums, John Hebert on bass & a special guest from Berlin on vibes. Can’t find her name. 2 sets. Takeishi is brilliant. Hebert is always great in these in/out jazz contexts.
last night at Roulette
Lee Renaldo, David Watson & Brian Chase
incredible hour improv. Drones, awesome bagpipe care of Watson. Chase always great. Renaldo was even better than I expected. Great electronics, great guitar with feedback. Even some gorgeous piano with the great grand piano at the venue. Like nothing I’ve ever heard overall.
tonight at The Stone
Henry Fraser on double bass, Brandon Seabrook on guitar (and banjo?) & the *great* Randy Peterson on drums
I just learned that the wonderful Garifuna musician, Aurelio, died earlier this year in a plane crash. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aurelio-martinez-dead-honduran-musician-garifuna-1235299246/
He released multiple fine recordings on Stonetree Records. http://www.stonetreerecords.com/music/

I don’t know how the original sounds but I do know that this one sounds great! As I mentioned the artwork is done very nicely as well. Shiney cover and very hard cardboard. A quality reissue I must say. Happy with it.
