kh1958

Welcome to Texas! Don't forget your holster. I have seen Marilyn Crispell live once--a number of years ago at the original Knitting Factory--in the Anthony Braxton Quartet.

Over the weekend, the LP set of the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Emarcy albums. Truly magnificent music.

Clifford Brown and Max Roach in Basin Street--The Clifford Brown and Max Roach Emarcy Albums (Mosaic).

Clifford Brown and Max Roach and A Study in Brown--The Clifford Brown and Max Roach Emarcy Albums (Mosaic).

At over 300 miles from Dallas to Victoria, that probably exceeds my Marilyn Crispel driving range. Starting from Austin, Houston or San Antonio to Victoria, I would probably go. However, I may go see Charles Lloyd in San Antonio in February.

According to her website:Solo and with poet Charles Alexander But the concert has not shown up on the venue website. http://weldercenter.org

I also heard some very fine non-jazz concerts this year. Vieux Farka Toure (Mali)--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Wobeon Festival, Austin. The Austin performance was unbelievably hot, just a power trio in a small room. Mamadou Diabate (Mali)--Northwest Hills Church, Austin. Truly beautiful. Kinobe (Uganda)--Wobeon Festival, Austin. Gentle and lyrical music from multi-instrumentalist. Xufei Yang (China)--University of Texas at Dallas. Solo Classical guitar and adaptations of Chinese songs. Nishat Khan (indian Classical)--Allen Public Library Debojyoti Bose (Indian Classical)--Allen Public Library Tutu Jones (blues/soul)--The Balcony Club, Dallas. Powerful performance from resident, little known blues master. Guitar Shorty (blues)--Keys Lounge, Fort Worth. No more acrobatics, but guitar mastery remains. Chris Thomas King (blues)--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Kenny Neal (blues)--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Little Freddie King (blues)--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Not much of a singer, but love his guitar groove. Buddy Guy (blues)--Bedford Blues Festival.

Bud Shank and Bob Cooper, Blowin' Country (World Pacific), and Chico Hamilton Quintet (World Pacific).

Anthony Braxton has two upcoming appearances at the Big Ears Festival i(March 31-April 2, 2016), in Knoxville, Tennessee. http://lineup.bigearsfestival.com/?sort=day

I heard lots of great live jazz and other music this year, but I mostly had to work for it (travel). These all made highly favorable impressions: Charles Lloyd Quartet--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Last 2 songs, about 45 minutes or so of the concert, were mesmerizing. Kenny Garrett Quintet--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. That was one intense set. By the end, most of the Jazz Tent crowd was actually dancing in the aisles. Amazing. Cassandra Wilson--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. A fine band including Charlie Burnham, Lonnie Plaxico and Kevin Breit, songs from the Billie Holiday repertoire and one terrific original to close (Last Song). Randy Weston and His African Rhythms--Trinity University, San Antonio. He may be 89, but he has not slowed down. Great group including Billy Harper, Alex Blake and T.K. Blue. Amina Claudine Myers Trio--Winter Jazzfest. With Jerome Harris on guitar. Donald Harrison with Lonnie Smith--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was a jam session set, led by Donald Harrison, but when they started setting up the B3 I knew it would be more than that. Rudresh Mahanthappa Bird Calls--Winter Jazziest. Marcus Miller--Granada Theater, Dallas. Mike Stern Trio (Francois Moutin and Kim Thompson)--55 Bar, New York. One of the best performances I've heard at the 55 Bar. David Murray/Geri Allen/Terri Lynn Carrington--Winter Jazziest. Trio 3 (Oliver Lake, Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman) with Vijay Iyer--Winter Jazziest. Kent Jordan--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Interesting sounding group with flute, clarinet and tenor sax (Calvin Johnson) front line. John Handy--Dizzys, New York. It was a true thrill to hear Spanish Lady live, and strongly performed. George Lewis--Community Church, New York. A compelling percussion work, with Thurman Barker, Tyshawn Sorey, and Eli Fountain. Charles McPherson Quintet--Jazz Standard. Also still sounding great. Nels Cline and Julian Lage--Kessler Theater, Dallas. Guitar duet. Calvin Johnson Quintet--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Impressive young New Orleans tenor saxophonist. Terence Blanchard E Collective--New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Leni Stern--55 Bar. Jazz/African music fusion. Petros Klampanis with Gilad Hekselman--Cornelia Street Cafe, New York.

Teddy Wilson/Gerry Mulligan, At Newport (Verve), and Les McCann in New York (Pacific Jazz)
