at bard college on march 22nd about 1 hour south of albany, north of redhook new york. appearing with andrew cyrill dave burrell and reggie workman as i recall

just wanted to start a thread that was actually about jazz and considering the origin of the site name I just wanted to drop that I head joshua redman about two weeks ago with sam yahel on organ and keyboards. christ there was more electronic gear per musician then i have seen in awhile. redman has some 8 pedals in front of him that he could hit while playing his sax. I alway wondered about being able to split your concentration when doing something like that. yahel did about three tunes on the organ and then walked over to a completely different setup which had rhodes on a 90degree angle to what I think was a synth. fun update to the classic tenor organ date. while I have a bunch of organ recordings can't say I have seem more than a couple in concert. the other one was jimmy smith and I want to forget about that performance. the club was filled that is about 150 people. the next night that couldn't have had more than 30 for the cindy blackman quartet which was a better concert in my opinion. later

you gotta love pharoah-poses a problem and when the water gets too hot then backs out.

check out cuber on live at the blue note on pro jazz which is his best recording on that label. has a couple good recordings on steeplechase. he and nick and I believe cecil did a date that was a three baritone band about 6 years ago. not an original player but so what? lots of fun to listen to
