To anyone who attended Big Ears this year, what were your impressions?
I enjoyed it -- although I didn't have any revelatory experiences comparable to hearing Charles Lloyd last year.
My favorite shows from this year's festival were:
- Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline (Thursday @ the Mill & Mine)
- Tim Berne (Friday @ Regas Square)
- Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra Plays Sly (Friday @ Jackson Terminal)
- John Scofield (Friday @ the Tennessee Theater)
- Either/Orchestra (Saturday @ The Point)
- Julian Lage (Sunday @ the Tennessee Theater)
