  1. There's a multipart interview between those 2 on YouTube about what Grissom looks for in a guitar.

    Zappa 1972 box

    Hot Rats? Good to know. If I find a cheap copy, maybe I'll grab it.

    Zappa 1972 box

    That looks like a box worth having! I was excited when they announced the Hot Rats box, but after streaming it a bit I was really disappointed by all the random noodling and excess studio chatter. I decided that I didn't need that one.
  4. Tomorrow at SFJAZZ: Kurt Ribak Plays 'MINGUS AH UM'
  5. Exactly! I picked up the virus about 2 weeks ago even though I've had all 3 boosters. But the effects were minimal. At first I thought my allergies were acting up (headache, runny nose, etc), but something didn't seem right so I decided to self-test and I was positive. It turns out those symptoms were about the worst of it. My doctor prescribed Paxlovid for me, but I probably could have gone without it. Why take that chance, though? I'm sure my "illness" such as it was, was reduced considerably by getting vaxed. BTW, I'm over it now and have recently re-tested Negative.
  6. Don't think so. A friend saw him in LA and it was just his usual quartet.
  7. Seeing James McMurtry & band on Sunday

    Tomeka at Big Ears earlier this year (with Craig Taborn and Chez Smith)
  10. Looking forward to seeing James & the band on Sunday
  11. And not "just" Carmell, you get some Gerald Wilson sessions, too!
  12. Yeah. That's a nice set. Haven't listened to it in a while. Oughta give it a spin sometime soon.
  13. Good one! Haven't heard that in YEARS
  14. Amanda Shires "Take It Like A Man"
  15. From last year's Other Minds Fest
  16. One difference is that Big Ears is a non-profit, so that's not as much of a goal. But I will always have concerns about the SXSW-ing of it. I went there for 10 years before it got completely out of hand and wasn't fun anymore.
  17. Huh - interesting. Who would they be having that needs such large venues?
  18. Yes, Harrison replaced Handy several years ago. Handy subs occasionally, though. Went to Ronnie Scott's last Wednesday. Fun show with Ronnie Scott’s Club Quintet [(James Pearson (p), Alex Garnett (as/ts), Freddie Gravita (tpt), Sam Burgess (b), Chris Higginbottom (d)]. Their theme for the night was ‘1959 …The Year That Shaped Jazz’. So they played tunes like So What and Blue Rondo A La Turk, as well as a few originals in the same style. Not familiar with any of the musicians, but the sax and piano player were standouts.

    Tyshawn Sorey

    Will keep an eye out for that. And definitely hope to catch at least one of his shows at Big Ears.
