Just a head's up for all Philly organissimites: In anticipation of organissimo's June 16th appearance at Chris' Jazz Cafe, our very own Jim Alfredson will be interviewed by Jeff Duperon on WRTI (90.1 FM) at 6:45 PM on Saturday, June 13th.

Glad to see you've decided to stick around! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts about your dad (of whose music I'm a big fan), and whatever else strikes your fancy.

Damn! After watching that, I realize that I'm good enough to play both bass AND rhythm guitar with organissimo when they come to Philly next month. We're gonna have one helluva gig at Chris'!

Who the hell is conn?* *dick

It means that they've sold at least 700-something! Good news, indeed. Perhaps the cash flow that this set generates will allow Mosaic to restock some of the sets they currently have on back-order.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto. :rsmile:

Ordered tickets for this one last week (along with 3 other Philadelphia Orchestra concerts at the Mann this summer).

Peter, thanks for the report. So sorry I ended up having to miss this! Hopefully, they'll be back in Philly fairly soon. Glad you were able to meet up with Professor Deely.

I did, indeed, and was told that they won't book any group that's not already well known in NYC.

1. Yep 2. Yep 3. Last time I spoke to him, I think Chalupa Deely von Kirby said he's planning to go.

No, I just took him to catch the train down to the Franklin Institute--he's been commissioned to compose a work inspired by the Giant Heart. I mean the other you-know-who. By the way, we had a great time at Ortlieb's last night. Allen played throughout most of the two jam session sets, and everyone else who showed up was also quite impressive. You should check it out some time, if you haven't already. We need to get one of those commissions for organissimo. Peter, call you-know-who.

That's the one I used. I'm sending you a PM with contact information. Thank you! I tried the email again last night and it came back undeliverable again. At the very least, I can tell them their email isn't working when I talk to them on the phone! So I should hold off for now?

It's been a while since I've listened to that set, but I recall really digging the Herb Ellis sessions.

Chuck WHO?

The first time I read through that sentence, I thought it said: "All of the natives sat in their cars and were very reserved." I'd say that's pretty damned reserved!

Sweet. Burnt Sugar hits at 9:30 and we hit around 11. I hope Flip Barnes is in town at that time. When he's in town he plays with Burnt Sugar. Flip is a bad ass muthafucker and a sweet guy too. I'm going to try to make it, too. Peter, it's your job to remind me a week before. Just to be clear, In Philly it's Reptet only at Chris' 8PM-12AM (three sets). In New York it's Reptet and Burnt Sugar at DROM 9:30PM-12AM (one set each). Thanks, -john Then fuggedaboudit--I was only coming to see Burnt Sugar.

Post 'em here on the Board! Well, only because I think that CHUCK NESSA might enjoy seeing them.

THIS JUST IN: Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 8PM and 9:45 PM--Chris' Jazz Cafe: organissimo

Thelonious Monk, "The Complete Prestige Recordings"

Yep--sorry I haven't responded yet. I will today. I believe the Art Farmer Mosaic Single "The Time and the Place" was recorded at MoMA, which still puts on jazz concerts to this day during the summer months. I saw Brandon Ross with Roy Haynes' son Graham on trumpet a couple of years ago. The Philadelphia Museum of Art still puts on jazz concerts YEAR-ROUND. I saw Eric Alexander with Harold Mabern there, and the Maria Schneider Orchestra, and some group called . . . ummmm, let's see . . . what was the name again . . . oh yeah, ORGANISSIMO!
