....David, sorry I'm late to the party.....hope you had a great day ! m~

That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen!

Spent almost the entire weekend with him, Henry and his band last weekend at the Velvet Lounge and all appeared well....Fred played his ass off. Maybe he's under the weather just enough not to play. m~

I don't presume to speak for Chris, but I believe there is a connection between the appearance on this board of Scott Dolan and Chris' disappearance. I don't know what their common history is, but Chris does not respect Dolan's political opinions, and Dolan in turn acts obnoxiously and resorts to silly name-calling (see above). What? Because I refer to him as al-Bertson? Hell, he never seemed to have a problem with Johnny E blowing apart at the seems, now did he? Neither do you, by the way. So why not bark up another tree? I didn't do jack shit to him, and he intentionally started a thread to see if he could get me fired up which Jim later deleted. Do some reasearch before relaying the story, my friend.

The day's not over....by a long shot!!! m~

I thought it felt like a kinder, gentler board lately!!!

Ok - just one. Accent On The Blues Jim, for having absolutely no interest in this thread, you sure post to it a lot! ...no kidding.....come on Jim, it looks like some people may not be able to sleep until you post them.......pretty please!!! m~

...I don't , pm sent. m~

M&Ms....no peanuts!

...this thread has gone into the shitter very fast. Regarding the original question, I have not seen the archive (would love to) but went to one of their events this past October......very cool. Lots of access to the musicians if that's your thing and lots of great music! m~

Thanks again, guys!

....go for it!!!

....they are a Chicago based magazine after all.....no shortage of jazz (musicians, writers, shows, fans) in Chicago!!! m~

I was there last night and stayed for the first set (which lasted about an hour). The music was great. Henry was in good form, playing his violin during various improvised sections, but mostly stuck to his bass. Roy was on fire, playing four different instruments (trumpet, flugel horn, pocket trumpet and flute), as was Chad, who laid down a continuously energetic beat throughout the set. The Bohemian National House is located in this 90- year-old building that looked abandoned from the exterior, situated in this interesting neighborhood a couple of blocks form I-96. All things considered, it was a good time. I definitely enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. If I had to guess. I would say there were somewhere between 30-50 people in attendance. I'm glad to hear that they made it to Chicago without incident. The weather in Chicago was a little over stated. I came from Indy on the day of the snow and didn't encounter a flake until I was 10 miles from the city. Even passing through the city from south to north, there was no snow on the roads and a few inches on the median.....it was cold though....Sunday the wind chill was about 5 degrees (non-windchill about 15). I was present for four sets and thought the final show on Saturday night was the best (for me). Henry was great on the violin and once the amp issues were fixed, was killing on the bass as well. Roy and Chad were amazing and Fred was Fred if you know what I mean!!! Packed house both nights with the Saturday shows overflowing!!! Youngsters sitting on the floor with their mouths hanging open....not sure what they were seeing. I'll post a few photos in the next couple days. Also went to the Sun Ra exhibit with Henry, Margaret, Hilda (friend and driver) and Roy....very cool stuff!!! Ran into Michael Weiss at the exhibit as well. m~

....

Got to spend about 20-30 minutes with Dr. Lonnie Smith tonight on a little photo shoot with everyone else locked out prior to the show. Great guy but truly does not enjoy photo shoots......he was really a good sport and gave me the time needed to get it done. Will post more when I get time....gotta get to bed. m~

Thanks guys, appreciate the info and link to previous thread....this will help! m~

My better half is going to Belgium over New Years with a few friends. Just wanted to see if anyone on Organissimo currently lives there or has lived there.....looking for interesting things to do. Thanks, Mark~

Henry Grimes/Fred Anderson tonight and tomorrow night. Dr. Lonnie Smith on Sunday....trying to see Michael Weiss as well.....checking out the Sun Ra exhibit as well. m~

It certainly do. ...you right!

The past few times I've been to Dusty Groove, they have had a handful of k2s at $5.99....sure to have come from the Concord sale. m~

I'm not sure anyone would confuse me with being "in" but I became friends with Henry and Margaret a few years ago and look forward to hanging out with them this weekend. m~

Michael, I'm going on Saturday with Henry Grimes and gang....will report back with photos during the first part of the week. Mark~

Brad's a good man!
