BRANFORD MARSALIS QUARTET 7:30PM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2018 MOODY PERFORMANCE HALL 2520 Flora Street, Dallas, TX 75201

Quamon Fowler, With You

Earl Hines, Grand Terrace Band (RCA Vintage) Eddie Lockjaw Davis, In the Kitchen (Prestige) (reissue of The Cookbook, volume 1) Gene Ammons, Sock! (Prestige)

I heard the second set, which was quite good; just what I needed. He played tenor, alto and EWI, backed by piano/bass/drums, all unfamiliar to me. (The pianist's first name was Caleb; I don't recall the last/the others). I even like his EWI playing; he takes it seriously, not as a novelty instrument. He seems like a super-nice fellow, also. I hope they have him back, as the venue is really pleasant, with good sound; their usual acts are too much on the pop side for me to go very often.

Last night, Quamon Fowler, Kitchen Cafe, Dallas

Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy's Big 4

Another fine recent release on Stut: Of Abstract Dreams, previously unreleased studio session from circa 1974-75, with a small group (seven piece band). Ra plays only acoustic piano, with some killer John Gilmore solos. https://www.amazon.com/Abstract-Dreams-Sun-Ra/dp/B077Z81HQV/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1532314296&sr=1-1&keywords=Sun+ra+of+abstract+dreams&dpID=6120snalT0L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Charles Mingus, Live at Montreux 1975 (Eagle)

Della Reese with Sy Oliver Orchestra, The Story of the Blues (Jubilee) Bud Freeman/Mary Mulligan, Midnight Special Dot)

To my dismay, the internet informs that in 2008, a few years before I learned about this artist, Mahmoud Ahmed actually played a concert in Dallas (which has a significant population of Ethiopians) and just a couple of miles from where I live. Ignorance is not bliss.

Previously available as a DVD, Charles Mingus Live at Montreux 1975 has been recently released as a 2CD set. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077TRFQJK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Right; 6 records for $400, I don't think so.

My iPhone weather app currently predicts 109 degrees F for Friday.

From what I have read, the only musicians being paid more than a pittance from streaming are major pop artists.
