The last couple of days I've been listening to a Roy Haynes recording featuring George Adams that I had previously missed---it showed up as a cut out in Half Priced Books recently. Its called the Island, recorded in 1990. George Adams solos on most of the tracks and has one composition on the record. Craig Handy and Graham Haynes are also featured. It's a darn good record.

Roy Haynes, Homecoming (Evidence)

Gabriel Traditiontal Jazz Band/& Friends

It must be a lot of trouble hauling your jazz CDs and LPs from house to house.

The preceding Thursday to Sunday, I attended the second weekend of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. This was the first time I attended the entire festival--6 and one-half days--the first Sunday having a delayed opening due to a violent thunderstorm. In total, I heard 28 complete sets plus two interviews and various partial sets. It was a great experience in every way (the food at the festival is great as well); alas, now a whole year to wait for the next one. The best sets I heard the second weekend were: Charlie Gabriel, an interview with short performances. A fascinating career in music and at 84 his clarinet and tenor sax sound great. Unfortunately his set as a leader was at the same time as Lee Konitz. Cedric Burnside Project: Intense Mississippi Hill country blues from R.L. Burnside's grandson, who is a strong vocalist and drummer. A compact but powerful group (a duo of drums/vocals and guitar). Lee Konitz Quartet: His alto sounded really beautiful and profound, with Dan Tepfer on piano. Louis Ford and His New Orleans Flairs (with Jamil Sharif on trumpet). Superb clarinet and tenor sax in traditional New Orleans jazz context. The Ron Holloway Band: Jazz/Funk. I knew Ron Holloway was a fine tenor saxophonist, but was skeptical of this band with two pretty, curvaceous singers. In fact, both were good singers, and the band's set was incendiary. Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet: He's a really nice vibes player, sounding a bit like Milt Jackson. Terence Blanchard E Collective: I just heard this band in Dallas, and the concert was good. Here in New Orleans, their set was fantastic, one of the best I heard at the festival. Their usual closing song, Cosmic Warrior, was awesome. Doreen's Jazz New Orleans: Street musician in traditional New Orleans style, she plays a mean clarinet. Gregory Agid Quartet: Another clarinet led group, this was a fine set by an Alvin Batiste protege. Jeremy Davenport: A really swinging group, with the leader's pleasing trumpet playing, his vocals not entirely to my tastes. New Orleans Groovemasters (Shannon Powell, Herlin Riley, Jason Marsalis): A three drummer led cooperative group, with saxophone, bass and drums. A rather fine set. Kenny Barron Trio: A superlative set with Jonathan Blake on drums. SF Jazz Collective Plays the Music of Miles Davis: About midway through the Kenny Barron set and into the day-ending SF Jazz Collective set, the Jazz Tent went from packed to a sparser crowd, as throngs went to stand in a massive, jammed together crowds to hear Stevie Wonder perform, by all reports in truly appalling sound and with lots and lots of talking. Glad to not be one of them. Meanwhile, the SF Jazz Collective was performing its final concert for a six week tour, and I would be surprised if this was not the best concert of the tour. Dayme Arocena: Cuban vocalist with a powerful voice. Khari Allen Lee and the New Creative Collective: Khari Allen Lee is a New Orleans based alto and soprano saxophonist who turns up frequently as a sideman at Jazz Fest (this year, with Uptown Jazz Orchestra and Leah Chase). He's an excellent player and this group's set derived from his new recording, A New Earth, was quite fine. Nicholas Payton and Afro-Carribean Mix Tape: This set was a mixed bag--he played keyboards more than trumpet, and the group included a DJ and two dancers. But the last piece, an original composition which added a string quintet to the group and began with a lovely extended trumpet solo with the strings, morphing into a melding of the strings with the larger group, all featuring trumpet, was by far the best of the set. Chucho Valdes Quintet: This was Chucho Valdes with bass and three percussionists in the final set of the festival. This set was simply thrilling. That Cuban bass player, I don't know his name, but he was incredible. The place was packed, the crowd ecstatic, the encore really unbelievably exciting. A great set.
