kh1958

It’s been 14 years in my case since I’ve seen The Bandwagon in person. Way too long.

Bombino, Live in Amsterdam (Partisan)

Miroslav Vitous, First Meeting (ECM) Laurindo Almeida, The New World of Guitar (Capitol)

A fabulous set by the Bandwagon tonight. Heavy on the Monk and Fats Waller.

Jazz Odyssey, Volume 1, The Sound of New Orleans, 1917-1947 (Columbia)

No, but that band (or a very similar one) played in Fort Worth in the early-mid/1980s. A set was broadcast on the local NPR station, But I missed the actual performances because I had the flu. Curses.

The recording captures Johnny Coles' sound very well.

Agreed, six eye pressings sound uniformly great, though for me the real qualify drop off is post-two eye pressings. Duke Ellington, The Ellington Era 1927-1940, Volume 2 (Columbia, two eye)

Actually, in these parts you can still get lucky at Half Priced Books. This was $7 about a year ago.

Six eye.

Billie Holiday, The Golden Years (Columbia) Charlie Parker, Jazz at Midnite (Blue Note)

The Smithsonian Ellington collections.

The Prestige and Riverside books depicted above, despite being partly in Japanese, are very useful to have, particularly if you buy LPs.

Freddie Hubbard, The Hub of Hubbard (MPS/BASF) Gary Burton Quartet, Paesengers (ECM)

Jonah Jones, Swingin' On Broadway (Capitol) Dave Pell, I Remember John Kirby (Capitol) Jonah Jones, I Dig Chicks (Capitol) June Christy and Stan Kenton, Duet (Capitol)

This album is really excellent. Most of it is more inside than I expected.

The event is rooted in Indian Classical Music and its unique time cycle in which specific musical modes are performed at specific times of day. Listeners and viewers will journey from Japan to Nepal to Madagascar as the musical offerings flow between traditional presentations and cross-cultural, genre-blurring collaborations. Born in 2012 when 50 musicians volunteered to create an FM-Broadcast with the theme of “Community, Unity, and Harmony,” the festival graduated to become a popular live event at Pioneer Works. For the first time, Ragas Live Festival will be live-streamed and broadcast from and around the world, a musical collaboration at an unprecedented scale, and a testament to the transcendent power of music. During the penultimate set of the festival Brooklyn Raga Massive will perform a raga based homage to Terry Riley called In “D.” An original composition, performed by 24 musicians, this, like last year’s Ragmala, will be released as an album concurrently with the Ragas Live Festival. Presented by Pioneer Works, Brooklyn Raga Massive, NYC Radio Live and the Rubin Museum of Art.

The Y a zz Ahmed livestream was really good. It's up until Sunday.

Hank Mobley in Holland (Dutch Jazz Archive)

Plenty of improvisers are specialists in now-ness, revealing a solo as a series of events, or present-tense flashes. With Mr. Harrell, it’s all one event. He’s always processing ahead and behind, and you feel as if you’re hearing the whole of the narrative at all times, from was to is to will be." - The New York Times Tom Harrell will be back on the Vanguard stage this Friday and Saturday night; accompanying him will be Luis Perdomo on piano and Ugonna Okegwo on bass. Each show begins at 8 PM EST and will be available to stream for 24 hours; tickets are $10. Yazz Ahmed Hey everyone! I hope you’re well and happy. I have a very exciting event happening tomorrow (19th Nov) at 20:00 UK time! I will be performing at the beautiful Kings Place, London, as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival! This concert is with my quartet, Ralph Wyld on vibraphone, Dave Manington on bass guitar and Martin France on drums. This is my main touring band, I absolutely love this line-up. The guys are all incredible musicians and every time we play it is a musical adventure. Over the last couple of years we’ve performed dozens of gigs together all around the world. That all changed this year of course. We had a healthy tour planned for the summer, covering USA, Canada, France, Portugal, Poland, Tunisia, Finland and the UK, however, all these concerts had to be cancelled or postponed until next year. We were so looking forward to seeing everyone who had booked tickets for this show, however, the UK recently went back into lockdown so plans had to change. The good news is that I’m now able to invite you all to join us virtually, by watching the live stream from wherever you are on the planet! This is the link for tickets and don’t worry, if you can’t tune in when it goes live, as long as you’ve bought a ticket you’ll be able to view the concert at any time during the following week. www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/jazz/yazz-ahmed-online-streaming/?fbclid=IwAR1OuNE3LatRsz9kKeXw5oSIeYIqpakxX8nPSUTeyGAv2bsMHkbJQQ6PfwU Hope to see you there. Peace and love, Yazz JOIN TJG ONLINE TOMORROW NIGHT FOR ERIC HARLAND ERIC HARLAND -drums JOEL ROSS -vibraphone AUSTIN WHITE -electronics & acoustic bass IN A LIVESTREAM CONCERT DIRECT FROM THE JAZZ GALLERY, NYC Multi-Grammy Nominated Drummer, Eric Harland is the most "In demand drummer" of his generation. He has already been on over 400 recordings and multiple film scores and has been recognized in the Boston Globe, New York Times, JazzTimes, Modern Drummer, All About Jazz, The New Yorker, DownBeat, L'uomo Vogue and other prominent publications. It has been his privilege to share the stage with masters such as Betty Carter, Joe Henderson, MyCoy Tyner, Michael Brecker, Terence Blanchard, Branford and Wynton Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, Savion Glover, SFJAZZ Collective, as well as younger artists like Esperanza Spalding, Jane Monheit, Taylor Eigsti, Julian Lage, Stacie Orrico, Robert Glasper and more. Through Harland's extensive travels, he has come to realize that "The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation." When Eric Harland contributes... his intention is therefore to create the highest musical experience so that every listener may have insight... into the musical moment.
