Just saw the Jason Moran w/ Cassandra Wilson show tonight. A remarkable performance - spectacular, understated, emotional, dynamic........all at once. The communication between the two was electric and you could sense a special musical event unfolding as the night progressed.

Saw Jason Moran w/Cassandra Wilson tonight. Remarkable performance - just the two of them.

Saskatchewan Roughriders - 30

That's going to be good, Mike. I saw Billy with the Randy Weston Trio at Yoshi's 4-5 years ago. Great show. They're playing SFJazz on Sunday with Jason Moran (somehow). Would have gone, but ticket prices for that are sky-high. Good for Randy and Billy, though.

Yeah, Kapt Kopter is interesting. Not sure it's a GREAT album, but worth a few dollars if you can find it. You should get Clear and 'Family' to round out the collection, for sure. Clear is a little more jazzy than the others and 'Family' has their classic tune "I Got a Line on You". Spirit of '84 is interesting - recorded in '82, they re-recorded many of their early tunes plus a few new ones. It's actually pretty good. The first Jo Jo Gunne album is a must-have, if you like the rockin' side of Spirit.

Seeing 2 Jason Moran events this week at SFJazz: - Jason Moran Listening Party, Nov 20 - Jason Moran w/ Cassandra Wilson, Nov 22 Next Monday: SFJazz to Host Obama for DNC Fundraiser - Not going to this one. A little out of my price range.

I remember when some of those albums briefly showed up on eMusic.

Cedar Walton

I picked up the live album a few years ago, but never really listened to it. Got it on now. Thanks for the thread.

Thad/Mel - disk #5

Tuesday: Television

Got mine today - sounds GREAT! Nice to see some of our fellow board members names in the liner, too.

Nice piece by Lenny Kaye on eMusic: Lenny Kaye Remembers Lou Reed I was lucky to see this: Video Spotlight: SXSW 2008 Keynote Lou Reed I never saw him perform, though.

I'm ready!

Never Back Down: Fresh Air Remembers Lou Reed

Larry Young

These 2 playing with Jason Moran at SFJazz

I've seen him a couple of times in the past few years. He's definitely become somewhat frail, but his playing is still sharp, although (needless to say) with much less ferocity as his earlier days.

If you have "Enlightenment," and like it, then "Atlantis" is a must-have, too. I'll assume you have "Super Trios," but if not - get it. Not only for McCoy, but some of the best drumming (Tony Williams & Jack DeJohnette) in a trio setting that you're likely to hear anywhere.
