One of my most memorable was the Joe Lovano Trio with Dennis Irwin and Willie Jones III at the Atlantic Jazz Festival, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, summer 2000.
Lovano was on fire that night (and played only tenor). Let me tell you that he sounds 10x better in person than on record. I spoke to him after the gig and asked him to autograph one of his CD's that I owned. A very approachable, friendly and helpful personality. When the pen I had wouldn't work on the glossy CD cover, he went searching for one that would work.
