kh1958

Yes, probably have to head that direction starting at least at 6. So maybe.

Winspear (same name as the Dallas Arts District Opera House) is the standalone concert hall at UNT, just off I-35, that I've been to a couple of times. The One O'clock Lab Band is not my cup of tea. Honestly, I can't stand the band. I didn't see (or know about that I recall) Sam Rivers or the AEC playing in Denton. More missed opportunities and regrets! But I did see the AEC at the Caravan of Dreams; plus the Sam Rivers Trio at Sweet Basil, and Sam Rivers a couple of times with Dizzy, so I'm going to be okay.

I don't know; I'm not familiar with this performance space. I've seen him a few times as a sideman--with Vijay Iyer, with Roscoe Mitchell and with George Lewis. Excellent percussionist. I would like to attend, but Monday in Denton at 7:30 might be tough.

OCT28 Tyshawn Sorey Quintet Public · Hosted by UNT Fine Arts Serie Share clock Tyshawn Sorey Quintet Monday, October 28, 2019 at 7:30 PM – 9 PM pin UNT Lyceum Denton, Texas 76201 Tickets available at UNTuniontickets.com --- available September 26 Free for UNT Students; $5 UNT student guest ticket (limit 1) $5 for UNT Staff / Faculty /Alumni $10 for General Public" The UNT Fine Arts Series presents Multi-instrumentalist and composer Tyshawn Sorey who is celebrated for his incomparable virtuosity, effortless mastery and memorization of highly complex scores, and an extraordinary ability to blend composition and improvisation in his work. The New York Times has praised Sorey for his instrumental facility and aplomb, “he plays not only with gale-force physicality, but also a sense of scale and equipoise”; The Wall Street Journal notes Sorey is, “a composer of radical and seemingly boundless ideas.” The New Yorker recently noted that Sorey is “among the most formidable denizens of the in-between zone…An extraordinary talent who can see across the entire musical landscape.” Sorey has released seven critically acclaimed recordings that feature his work as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and conceptualist. His latest, Pillars (Firehouse 12 Records, 2018), has been praised by Rolling Stone as “an immersive soundworld… sprawling, mysterious… thrilling” and has been named as one of BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction 2018 albums of the year. He will be accompanied by Sasha Berliner (Vibes), Morgan Guerin (Saxophone, EWI), Lex Korten (Piano), & Nick Dunston (Bass).

Barney Wilen Quartet, Live in Tokyo '91 (Elemental) Kyriakos Sfetsas, Greek Fusion Orchestra, Volume 1 (Teranga Beat)

Duke Ellington, Jazz at the Plaza, Volume 2 (Columbia) Miles Davis, Live Evil (Columbia)

$6 for mine.

Jimmy Smith, Softly as in a Summer Breeze (Blue Note, mono). A battered looking NY USA/ear copy, but aside for some surface noise it sounds magnificent.

Doug Carn plays only organ on the fairly recent My Spirit (not as good a record as the classics noted above but still pretty good), and it appears he has another new one by his West Coast Organ Band called Free For All.

Art Farmer and Donald Byrd, Trumpets All Out (Prestige) Lou Donaldson, Aligator Boogalou (Blue Note)

Just ordered that one.

Rachella Parks Washington, at Scat Jazz in Fort Worth. I was expecting something like the gorgeous version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I wasn't expecting roof raising performances of Circles, by Dewey Redman, Freedom by Pharoah Sanders, and Sweet Orange by Ronald Shannon Jackson. And best of all the soulful original by Rachella Parks at concert's end.

Moving back to focusing on the culturally irrelevant, I forgot to mention another favorite of the year, the excellent new CD by Charnett Moffett, Bright New Day. Come to think of it, just about all the music I've been interested in since the Beatles broke up has been culturally irrelevant.

Same reaction here.

"Exotica is not dead, it just smells bad." Cotton Underwood.

Certainly not you.

I saw the Holland/Hussain/Potter combination (with several other musicians) live a couple of years ago and have been hoping for a recording. I don't have that Charles Lloyd; sounds like I need it.

I prefer paper inner sleeves with rounded corners. They are easier to get back in the cover, especially on labels where the cover seems to be a bit too small for the record (Contemporary and Savoy). I do not use outer plastic sleeves except for ten inch records, records where the cover is hopelessly split open, and collector-mania records (original Blue Notes).

It would appear there is a group called Ben Williams I Am a Man.
