Love the Mingus BB! I've seen them quite a few times - most recently in December at their latest NY Venue, DROM in the East Village.

Same here, but the Friday show had no major conflicts for me.

I broke down and got a ticket for the Andre 3000 show on Friday

Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like it myself. Seeing Berne in a couple weeks in a very unorthodox "venue". It's a small bookstore in an outer SF neighborhood. They regularly have music and book readings, but music-wise it tends to be local musicians. Looking forward to it! They did have Kahil El’Zabar earlier this week, though. Which was also unusual. Tim Berne Trio w/Tom Rainey, drums and Gregg Belisle-Chi, guitar

I've been listening to the 2 songs released from that album. Sounds great!

Yes - a very talented singer, songwriter and musician in her own right. I never realized until last night that her instrument of choice is what she called an "Austin Mandolin" - it looks like a guitar, but has 8 strings. Maybe that's its real name? You would know, Lon.

Saw Sarah Jarosz and her band last night. Outstanding! I'm not usually a singer/songwriter fan, but she's a little different and is somewhat uncategorizable as far as genre. Covers a lot of ground. Great band, too!

New album by the elusive Mary Timony

Had this for a LONG time, but never listened to it much. Threw it on the other day and realized that it's basically a Kip Hanrahan album - he produced it. Lots of Hanrahan-ish touches all the way through. Good stuff!

I say that every day! 😁🎷

Agreed. Great album!

Just skimmed through it once, so far. Definitely want to see as many Threadgills as possible. Tomeka, for sure. Lots of conflicts on Thursday, but Fri-Sun seemed a little more manageable. Looks to be a very satisfying year at BE.

Band: bar italia Album: Tracey Denim

No doubt. But I never got that one. Will check it out.

That was a nice Resonance release!

Phil Elwood was the regular jazz critic with the SF Chronicle and Examiner for many years. I would often see him at jazz (and some rock) shows.

I sure wish someone would re-issue the entire Muse catalog. So much great music is sitting in someone's vault gathering dust, when it should be out in the market. Would probably do very well in the Vinyl Community, too.

Good point!

Got mine yesterday 👍

Not exactly related, but I always liked this box. It's basically made up of Orrin Keepnews favorite jazz tunes from his Riverside years. Each disk is arranged with a different theme.

Same for me, too. I still use it a lot (even with all it's flaws), so it's worth it in order to avoid the ads.
