Kurt Vile ‎– (Watch My Moves)

Tomorrow at SFJAZZ: John Scofield "Yankee Go Home" w/Jon Cowherd, Vicente Archer, Josh Dion

Any of the Mark Murphy albums. His best work was on Muse, IMO. Also, 5153 Schnitter, David: Goliath w/ Cecil McBee, Claudio Roditi, etc.

I like their first few albums a lot. I saw them in a club in 81 (their first US tour, I think) and then again in 84 at Radio City in NY. I sort of lost interest in them after that.

I think I got that backwards. She was married to Peacock before Bley

Paul Bley was also married to Annette Peacock, who left him and married Gary Peacock. There must be something about bass players

Sadly Finnigan passed away last year. I liked his B3 playing and singing a lot.

Just got back from the first night of this festival. Very enjoyable.

The JHB album on Columbia is a classic. Haven't listened to it in years, but I'm sure it holds up.

Just saw him at Big Ears doing a program of solos and duets (all around the drum kit) with Ambrose Akinmusire

I saw that Big Ears show, too. Very interesting, and very quirky. I liked him. Ran into him at our hotel and told him how much I enjoyed his drumming and that show. I think it was a one-off for him to get to play with those guys.

Yes - and she had multiple shows at the festival

I don't remember exactly, but I saw them twice. First was their own show which included a drummer, so probably pieces from Real Life. The other show was a collaboration with Caroline Shaw. Everything was composed by her and she sang some pieces, too.

Fourth! Trying to remember what my first jazz record was ... maybe Red Clay

Being one of my first jazz albums, I'll always like the original set ... including the narration!

Looks like I was at some of the shows already mentioned. This was my best Big Ears yet. Saw many EXCELLENT performances - some expected and many that were NOT. Some favorites were: Attacca Quartet, mssv, Taborn Trio, Cyrille w/Akinmusire, Patty Smith Band, Myra Melford & Snowy Egret and ALL of Sunday except for dePlume and Frisell (who spent too much time noodling and playing with electronics) THURSDAY Kronos Quartet + So Percussion, Caroline Shaw, Shodekeh 75 Dollar Bill Attacca Quartet Bill Callahan mssv (Mike Baggetta, Mike Watt, Stephen Hodges) FRIDAY Conversation: Ann Powers w/Joe Henry, Jason Moran Craig Taborn Trio w/Tomeka Reid, Chez Smith Harriet Tubman Jeff Parker & New Breed w/Makaya McCraven, Josh Johnson, Paul Bryant Andrew Cyrille w/Akinmusire Patti Smith Band Kim Gordon (15 minutes) Mdou Moctar SATURDAY Nikki Giovanni Myra Melford & Snowy Egret Caroline Shaw/Attacca Quartet Meredith Monk w/Bang on a Can All-Stars, Theo Bleckman Val Jenty Circuit des Yeux Annette Peacock SUNDAY Alabaster dePlume Miguel Zenon & Spektral Quartet Bill Frisell Trio w/Brian Blade, Thomas Morgan Odean Pope & Immanuel Wilkins w/Kresten Osgood, drums Bang on a Can All Stars (Terry Riley's Autodreamographical Tales) John Zorn New Electric Masada w/Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, John Medeski, Brian Marsella, Trevor Dunn, Kenny Wollesen, Ches Smith, Kenny Grohowski

There was a VERY nice tribute to her at SFJAZZ in February: TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON: GENIUS, GRACE AND FIRE: A TRIBUTE TO GERI ALLEN W/ RAVI COLTRANE, DAVE HOLLAND, & JASON MORAN The show was introduced by her brother, Mount, who is also an Exec with SFJAZZ

Just got back from seeing Chris Potter with Craig Taborn, Dave Holland and Eric Harland tearing it up at SFJAZZ!
