I'm trying to stick to complete sets and give myself plenty of time to change venues. Also, six concerts in a day should be plenty.

Boubacar Traore, Dounia Tabolo (Lusafrica)

I just heard him at Winter Jazzfest in January. An excellent set. He has a single new track on the anthology, Detroit Jazz City from a couple of years ago.

I've been there for meetings a few times in the last several years; I could never find any live jazz.

New York is indeed a great place for live music. For a late afternoon set on Saturday (if you like acoustic guitar from South America), there is Andres Laprida at Club Bona Fide. http://clubbonafide.com/event/brazilian-jazz-tango-special-tribute-to-jobim-piazzolla-with-world-guitar-master-andres-laprida/

I am working on my plan still. At present it is: Thursday: Jaga Jazzist; Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel; Okkyung Lee Friday: Roscoe Mitchell Trio Five; Rova, The Sound in Space Project; Milford Graves; Jenny Scheinman Mischief and Mayhem; TAL National; Jason Moran Fats Waller Dance Party. Saturday: Wu Fei; Cyro Baptista and Banquet of the Spirits; Jason Moran and Milford Graves; Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog; Roscoe Mitchell Trios; Rova, Chanelling Coltrane Electric Ascension. Sunday: Julie Byrne. Unfortunately, I have to leave Sunday afternoon so I will miss Bangs. But, Roscoe Mitchell at noon, that is cool. And on the same day, TAL National from Niger.

Yes, I had the same issue on my iMac this evening.

The detailed/hour by hour schedules are now up on the website.
