Sorry, inappropriate sarcasm from me.

You listened to one and are an expert. Impressive.

It's the CD Detective Agency.

Notwithstanding all the complaining about the series, the ones that I have all sound really nice.

Well, if they personally deliver the CD, there won't be wondrous cooking going on in my house, but I will take them out to a nice place for dinner.

That might be at the boundary between fan and stalker.

Have you tried bandcamp? I've had luck finding CDs and/or vinyl new releases there that seem to be available elsewhere only as downloads. They usually come to you directly from the artists (I think literally from their homes).

"Semi-informed noodling"--that's a good description of Elvin Bishop solos, but not of Mike Bloomfield. I did get to see Paul Butterfield in person once--at Antone's in 1982. Certainly the most impressive blues harmonica player I've heard in person.

February 15 looks like a good day to be in Hudson, New York.

I'm sure I appreciate him now more than I did back in the day when the label was active.

You would be fine with a general admission weekend pass. That's what I did the last two years. You just need to be organized about where you want to go and be there timely. A little more line waiting. Other than that, still great. Also, they actually let you pay for the passes in more than one payment, in case you hadn't noticed that on the website.

Re-reading my account now I think, I made a mistake and I should have stayed for the second set at Sweet Basil. I like the Mal Waldron quintet recordings on Black Saint/Soul Note. Things might well have come together for the second set. No more chances for me to see him, I know now.

As promised, we have some exciting end of the year treats to share with you this holiday season. Patti Smith is adding her acclaimed “Words and Music” program; a second world premiere from Meredith Monk with John Hollenbeck: ECM recording artists Anja Lechner and Sokratis SInapoulos join the line up; Marc Ribot and Ches Smith bring more of the spirit of Haiti to the festival; and very special solo sets from John Paul Jones, Anssi Karttunen, Jason Moran, Kim Myhr, Zeena Parkins, Caroline Shaw, and Ingar Zach. A few more details below. And, by the way, our Premier and Sonic Explorer VIP Weekend passes sold out this past weekend. We’re blown away by the enthusiasm and support from everyone. GA Weekend passes do still remain but are on target for an early sell out for the first time ever, so if you have friends who are interested, please let them know.

Somehow he fought off Don Sebesky...

Happy belated Texas birthday to you!

In Residence at the Nasher: February 17-22, 2020This Soundings season’s musician-in-residence is saxophonist, composer, and renaissance man, Travis Laplante, who divides his time between Brooklyn and southern Vermont. Laplante is an astonishing technician, extending possibilities of the tenor saxophone into new territories that encompass the avant-garde, contemporary jazz and classical, world music, and beyond, swirled into a transformative artistic experience. His mastery of circular breathing, multiphonics and harmonics is virtuosic, and he’s likely to produce dizzying torrents of sound—it’s music as primal therapy, musician as shaman. His six-day residency will involve a concert in Nasher Hall on February 20—the primary Soundings concert—as well as smaller performances as part of the free late-night program ‘Til Midnight at the Nasher on February 21, and for children, in the galleries, on February 22. As a Pied Piper of improv and the moment, Laplante performances could lead audiences anywhere. “There is nothing that Travis does that is not rooted in emotional psychology,” Seth Knopp maintains. “In spite of the extended techniques he uses, it is almost as though he wails beyond what is humanly or physically possible. He represents all the emotion behind the wail.”

Their shipping department can only handle one thing at a time.

First, a heads up about tickets: Less than a handful of Sonic Explorer VIP passes remain, they will be gone any day now, so if you’re still planning for that Sonic Explorer experience, we urge you to act now. Premier passes are also in very short supply and will sell out soon as well. GA passes remain available, although Tier 2 passes – priced at $250 plus fees – could sell out during the holidays.
