  1. Saw JBL Trio and Mary (with Amaryllis and Belladonna) at Big Ears. Agreed that JBL can overblow, but the 2nd half of his set was more restrained and interesting. Both of Mary's sets were excellent, although I think Amaryllis (w/string quartet) was more interesting.
  2. I met him a couple of times, but have friends who knew him pretty well. RIP, Sir.
  3. Nice, Mr. Arizona!
  4. Interesting article, for sure. It's on streaming services now, so I'm happy to be able to hear it easily. Nice that Tomeka Reid was quoted in the piece, too.
  5. Their first few albums were pretty good, but I stopped listening after that. Then a few years ago I discovered their final album - recommended!
  6. Tomorrow: Dee Dee Bridgewater w/Bill Charlap @ SFJAZZ
  7. Also a good collection
  8. Take a look at his group Air (from the 70s-80s), too!
  9. About TIME! I've been wondering why these albums were never re-released/re-mastered ... whatever.
  10. I had no idea that Andy Bey ever played/sang with Blakey. Did he do both? Will have to look for that Cookers album. I have them all. David Weiss is occasionally here on Organissimo , too.
  11. I was fortunate to be able to see her a couple weeks ago at Big Ears. Tremendous performance with a band to match.
  12. I wish I'd seen them more when he was alive. Only once, in 89 at a mid-week NO JazzFest show in an elementary school playground. Miraculously, someone filmed it so I can remember it forever: https://youtu.be/9D2NDbTsVHQ
  13. Just saw them at Big Ears
  14. Saw the Vijay Iyer Trio (Linda May Han Oh, Tyshawn Sorey) last night at SFJAZZ and a little over a week ago at Big Ears. Great communication between these three.
