kh1958

The one thing I don't like about this festival is that they tend to schedule my musical preferences in the Standard/Mill and Mine. I don't want to stand for concerts.

The edition of the group with Sean Jones, David Sanchez, Miquel Zenon and Robin Eubanks is excellent.

Updating schedule. Some painful choices. Thursday: 6:00-7:00: Dos Santos, Tennessee Amphitheater 7:30-8:30: Damon Locks, Tennessee Ampitheater 9:00-10:00: Trefoil, Old City PAC 11-12: Theon Cross, Old City PAC Friday: 1:00-2:00: Craig Taborn Trio, Bijou 2:30-3:30: Harriet Tubman, Mill and Mine 4:00-5:00: Jeff Parker and the New Breed, The Standard 6:45-8:00: Sons of Kemet, Mill and Mine 9:15-10:00: Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses, Boyd's Jig and Reel 11-12:15: Jason Moran, Bill Frisell, Thomas Morgan, Biran Blade: Bijou Saturday: 12:00-1:00: John Zorn (Bill Frisell/Julian Lage/Gyan Riley), Bijou 1:30-2:45: Christian Scott, Mill and Mine 3:45-5:00: Nubya Garcia, Mill and Mine 5:30-6:30: Sarah Davachi, St. John's 8:00-9:00: Jason Moran, Bijou 11:00-12:00: Gyan Riley, Old City PAC Sunday: 12-1: Alabaster dePlume, The Standard 2:30-3:30: Marc Ribot, St. John's 4:15-5:30: Odean Pope and Immanuel Wilkins, The Standard 6:45-8:00: Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet, The Standard 8-9: George, Old City PAC

All festival attendees will pick up credentials and wristbands at the Big Ears Festival headquarters, located at the Jackson Avenue Terminal (213 W. Jackson Ave, Knoxville, TN 37902). Patrons will need to show receipt or proof of purchase from Front Gate Tickets (the festival’s ticketing vendor) along with a valid photo ID, as well as proof of COVID vaccination or negative PCR test for COVID-19 received within 48 hours of picking up wristbands. Everyone for whom you purchased passes must also be present with photo ID and proof of vaccination or negative PCR test to claim their wristband. No one will be permitted to enter any Big Ears venues or ticketed events without first completing this process and securing a wristband. Passes are required for patrons ages 2 and older. Big Ears does not offer tickets to individual shows during the festival weekend.

Bob Weinstock sold Prestige Records to Fantasy Records in 1972. He was recording new music the entire time. Prestige was still recording and putting out jazz records pretty actively until about 1975. A few new records came out in the late 1970s before its existence as an active label came to an end.

I heard them for about ten or fifteen minutes a few years ago at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Just before their set, the Jazz Tent suddenly filled up with a horde of younger people. Ten minutes in I was on the verge of deciding whether to flee when an incredibly violent thunderstorm struck, resulting in the cancellation of the day's festival early in the set and sending everybody out into a torrential rainstorm--assuredly the most violent storm I've ever experienced with just a raincoat. I figure this was a sign the band was not for me.

Tickets are on sale to fourteen sets over a seven day period. A mere $200 per set, plus $27 service fee. Skipping it.

The detailed schedule has been updated and expanded on the Big Ears website. In addition, the Big Ears App has been updated for the 2022 festival. And, the festival is now sold out.

For a couple of years, Elektra Musician was a very good label. Their new releases were something to look forward to. Art Pepper and Red Rodney/Ira Sullivan were artists I really wish I had been able to see live in this era, but I never had the opportunity

Yes, Jaki Byard, ATFW USA. I also heard Jaki first, then moved backwards in time.

Almost a nonagenarian: Charlie Gabriel releases new recording, 89. https://www.nola.com/gambit/music/article_4b4ac17c-8d15-11ec-9dfb-d7e953d02638.html Charlie Gabriel is listening to his recording of “I’m Confessin’” playing from Ben Jaffe’s phone speaker, when it sparks a story. “That reminds me of when I first met Louis Armstrong,” Gabriel says. “I was about 13 or 14 years old and I met him here in New Orleans at The Coliseum — there used to be a boxing ring on Conti. The building is still there, but it used to be a boxing arena. So my dad took me up there to meet Louis, and Louis is rubbing my head, you know, ‘I’m gonna take this boy on the road, man.’ I believed him — he was just joking at my dad. And this was one of the [songs] Louis used to do, ‘I’m Confessin’,” and I guess that stayed with me as a youngster.” “I’m Confessin’” appears on Gabriel’s new album, “89,” alongside other standards, like “Stardust” and “Three Little Words,” and two originals, “The Darker It Gets” and “Yellow Moon.” Sub Pop will release the album digitally and on streaming platforms on Friday, Feb. 25, with vinyl records and CDs available July 1. ... Gabriel was born in 1932 in New Orleans, growing up in a house on Conti Street near North Galvez. He would become the fourth generation of New Orleans musicians in his family — a lineage that goes back to the 1850s and his great-grandfather, bass player Narcesse Gabriel. During World War II, Charlie Gabriel would sit in for his father, the clarinetist and drummer Martin Manuel Gabriel.
