On 11, the singer is someone I heard in person from attending Winter Jazzfest in New York. I thought her set was great. Her backup group has been a working group for almost ten years, she said. The trumpeter is the producer of the recording and the best known player on the track by far. 12: The banjo player was in the Sun Ra Arkestra for many years. The soprano saxophonist is the leader and is younger (late 20s). He's someone I've encountered live a few times and really like, both in the modern jazz and traditional jazz contexts. I believe he attended the school where Ellis Marsalis teaches. 13: Not correct on guitar. The guitarist is of the "Young Lions" generation. I heard this band (without the guitarist) a couple of years ago; the swing was so intense. Really great set--they opened with this track, better than this version. 14. The vocalist is mostly a drummer, a prominent personage on his instrument is his city. The guitarist is young, one of his drum students, who one day told his teacher he played a little guitar as well, and this duo (augmented on the recording) was formed.

I don't know Julie Bonk. A singer?

Correct. From Fort Worth. The song is "And I Cried" concerning her diagnosis with an incurable disease affecting, among other things, her lungs-sarcoidosis. Years ago, I saw her play at the Caravan of Dreams several times with Charles Moffett. Also, she is the saxophonist on the final Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society recording on DIW, Shannon's House. After disappearing from live appearances for many years, recently she seems to have rallied and plays an occasional concert, one of which I attended a few weeks ago. She mostly played EWI, but the three songs where she played her tenor were quite good--especially a wonderful version of Over the Rainbow.

Yes, a good idea (booking the band) ruined by an epically bad idea. I actually have not seen the band since they played weekly at the Iridium, and they moved to Jazz Standard ten years ago. So I'm not up on the current band composition.

The sound of the Texas saxophone.

Nope.

No, this is a "name" American jazz pianist, though usually regarded as a polar opposite of Hank Jones. And playing with a not that well recorded bassist who played with Max Roach.

I saw the Herbie Hancock group with Lionel Luecke, Terrace Martin, James Genus, and Vinnie Coliuta in New Orleans earlier this year; they are good but (at least at JazzFest) the sound was extremely loud (as in I had to wear earplugs which I don't like to do).

Yes, The Crave.

The first track is an early jazz composition from New Orleans; the performance is relatively recent; not Hank Jones, but a fairly well known pianist. The tenor sax on the second track is little known; only one recording as a sideman with a famous jazz leader to my knowledge. There is actually a tragic reason the track is brief. Number 3 is not Eddie Daniels. It is an original composition by the pianist; two contemporary artists who play together regularly. I've been listening to 3 CDs by the harp player a lot lately. And I love the tenor saxophonist. You have heard of the trumpet player on 11. 13 is a drummer led date. The guitarist on 13 is a name player (contemporary).

Coming to the House of Blues in Houston, but unfortunately not Dallas, on September 18: The Queen of Axé, Daniela Mercury is set to tour the United States in September 2019. The Latin GRAMMY winner and multi-platinum selling artist will tour with her full band to perform all her hits like “Canto da Cidade”, “Rapunzel”, “Nobre Vagabundo”, “Swing da Cor”, “Ilê Pérola Negra”,”Maimbê Dandá”, and also more recent hits like “Banzeiro” (2018 Best Carnival song in Bahia) and “Proibido o Carnaval”, released earlier this year. Daniela Mercury is known as “furacão” (hurricane) due to her powerful voice and tireless energy on stage, singing and dancing for hours without losing her breath. Daniela is also known as the Queen of Axé, the percussive and irresistible genre that emerged out of Bahia in the early 1990s, which made her a superstar in Brazil and then around the world.

Below is the August, 2019 BFT link. There are 14 tracks, 13 of which I would consider to be jazz. Twelve tracks are instrumentals and two are vocals. Please provide your comments. http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/

I would love to attend one day. But every time I start to move beyond thinking about doing it to actually booking it, the task of getting from Dallas to Newport seems more complicated than I want to deal with, and I pick a simpler travel alternative.

September 19: Terri Lyne Carrington Jazz drummer/singer/composer Terri Lyne Carrington, a three-time Grammy winner, performs selections from “Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue,” her tribute to the seminal 1963 “Money Jungle” album recorded by Duke Ellington, Charlie Mingus and Max Roach. 6:30 p.m. Thursday, September 19, Central At the Fort Worth Public Library.

Subhen has also composed a Single Piece which he played live with a team of 338 musicians non-stop for 52 minutes in Jorhat (Assam, India) has got him into Guinness book of world records.

Your perception is not really correct. The show was 99.999% Topo Gigio (an annoying puppet), a guy spinning mulitiple plates on sticks, Nancy Sinatra singing These Boots Are Made For Walking, etc. This clip is the incredibly rare exception, resulting from the network being picketed and succumbing to pressure.

Pardon if this is political, but our country is in sad shape. https://triad-city-beat.com/haters-target-winston-salem-concert-african-band-stood-islamists/?fbclid=IwAR00BTd9gZsWtLas8-aPVa7gR4FbF-bDQGnBkuiC0AjirPx_75jNSbmrnUQ

I'm willing to give it a try. I can just burn a CDr and mail it to Thom Keith?

October 18, 1977 at the Palais de Glaces. Cameron Brown on bass, Clifford Jarvis on drums, and Siegfried Kessler on piano. An excellent recording.
