kh1958

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.

Jessie has been performing in major music festivals in UK, India , USA, Canada and many other countries for the past 15 years. Legendary vocalist Pt. Jasraj describes Jessie Bannister as "The Future of Indian Classical Music". Pratik Shrivastava, a young and talented Sarod player born in 1987, began his musical journey under the training of his grandfather Pandit Rabi Chakraborty, an eminent Sarod player of the Maihar Gharana and a senior disciple of Sarod legend Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, and further nurtured his technical virtuosity under the tutelage of his uncle Dr. Rajeeb Chakraborty. Presently, to fine tune his performance still further and understand the aesthetic nuances of music, he is under the able guidance of world renowned vocalist Pt. Ajay Chakraborty and veteran sarod player Pt. Tejendra Narayan Majumdar. Pratik has won several awards and scholarships nationally and internationally including the Anun Lund Rej Memorial Foundation Scholarship 1999, Norway, Youngest Talent at the prestigious Salt Lake Music Conference in 1998 and a national scholarship awarded by the Indian Government to name a few. Pratik has been touring extensively all parts of the world and has already played in many major music conferences both in India & abroad. Pandit Subhen Chatterjee is one of best known tabla players of India today. Having learnt the art of tabla playing from tabla legend Pt. Swapan Chowdhury of Lucknow Gharana, Subhen went on to incorporate the beauty of other Gharanas or Schools of tabla playing into his playing and has thus been able to make his style of playing distinctively different from others. Subhen has been playing in the major music festivals for more than 30 years now accompanying such greats of Indian Music as Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Pt.Jasraj, Vidushi Girija Devi, Vidushi Shobha Gurtu, Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Pt. Rajan and Sajan Mishra, Ustad Shahid Parvez & many others. Other than playing Classical Music, Subhen is also one of the leaders of World Music Movement in India with his World Music band KARMA which he has formed way back in 1985 and which is still one of the best known bands in India. Subhen is also a regular performer of Womad, a music movement started by internationally acclaimed guitar maestro Mr. Peter Gabriel. Subhen's CD named Artistry which is a live recording of his performance with Sitar maestro Pt. Manilal Nag and Sarangi maestro Pt. Ramesh Mishra has been nominated for the most coveted Grammy award in the year 2003. 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.

I was very fortunate to see Tom McDermott and Evan Christopher perform as a duo at this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

That is daunting. In the annotated discography, the first 148 pages cover through 1968; the next 600 pages cover 1969 through his final performance at S.O.B.'s on October 21, 1992. Broadly, I think you would separate the 1970s from the 1980s. The 1970s seem more experimental; he was still performing new material; there was more use of electronic keyboards; more extended outside performances. In the 1980s, he settled into more of a standard repertoire; at some point he mostly stuck to acoustic piano (I read somewhere that his keyboards were stolen). That being said, in the course of the eight sets that I witnessed in 1987 and 1988, he played in virtually every style associated with him.

I always do. Last great find, a small stack of Indian classical records, all made in India. All fabulous.

Sunday: Carl LeBlanc Trio at Bamboula's in New Orleans, followed by Jonathan Freilich Quintet at Snug Harbor. Two excellent guitarists in succession. Carl LeBlanc, the former Sun Ra sideman, just sounds fabulous on guitar. Jonathan Frelich was new to me; his compositions were quite interesting, and his group stellar (only James Singleton on bass was familiar). Monday: Royal Roses at Maison. Unfortunately, Aurora Nealand is in New Hampshire, not leading her group tonight. Highly disappointing. Next up Charmaine Neville at Snug Harbor. Her back-up band is excellent but her act wore thin. Finally, Charlie Gabriel leads the Preservation Hall All Stars at Preservation Hall. Now this was good. Sensational piano playing from Kyle Roussel.

You are fortunate to have that place. Consoling myself with the thought that I've already booked a trip to Big Ears Festival next March.

Yes, Dorothy Donegan on piano, with unnamed bass and drums. She does play a lot of piano. The album is okay.

I wondered how a Bolivian jazz (sort of) band would come to the tiny North Dallas club The Kitchen....

Date/Time Wed, Jun 26, 2019 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm Location The Kitchen Café Efecto Madarina Bossa Nova, Bolivian Folklore, R&B, Blues and Pop A band that started as an acid jazz band, then discovered the world of a different fusion with Bossa Nova, Bolivian Folcklore, R&B, blues and pop. They’re now one of the most popular bands in Bolivia thanks to the personality of each of the musicians who gave their essence to create their own compositions and beautiful arrangements of Bolivian folk music.

This is insane, the mighty Jupiter and Okwess jamming in tiny Preservation Hall with members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
