kh1958

Bernard Allison at Pearl on Commerce. While not comparable to his father on guitar, he is pretty good and is a nice singer who plays mostly original material. The band was strong, featuring tenor saxophone as much as guitar, and the tenor player (didn't catch his name) played rather well. The drummer has chops way beyond what I expect in a blues band. Overall, quite enjoyable.

I saw the trio of Ron Carter, Russell Malone and Mulgrew Miller at the Blue Note last fall--I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the group.

It was a pleasure to meet you. Don't forget to get that Zani Diabate CD.

Clifford Brown/Max Roach--Brown and Roach Incorporated (Emarcy). Lucky find of the week, an original issue and in Vg+ shape.

After a quick look at club websites, Lew Tabackin Trio, Smalls, April 30-May 1. Paquito D'Rivera, Jazz Standard, April 29 Logan Richardson, Jazz Gallery, May 1 Mike Stern, 55 Bar, April 28 Dave Liebman, 55 Bar, April 29. I would add that 55 Bar, Smalls and Jazz Gallery fit in the category of nice venue to hear music and reasonably priced (unlike a place like Birdland).
