A couple of excellent Resonance releases

Yes. I miss them already. I have a small collection of notable shows that I have stubs for. No use in printing out eTickets, though. Not the same.

Zakir Hussain, Peerless Indian Tabla Player, Dies at 73

Last night was a good show for sure. A very tight band - they know what they're doing.

I couldn't find out anything, either. But there aren't any other "Steve Jordans" with a high enough profile to be in this show.

Thanks for that link. Will be seeing him next month at the NYC Winter Jazzfest: STRATA-EAST RISING A Landmark concert w/ Charles Tolliver, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart, Billy Harper, Christian McBride, aja monet, Endea Owens, Steve Jordan, Keyon Harrold, Camille Thurman +more TBA

Saw them last night

Had the good fortune to see her at Big Ears in 2022. She gave a very lively and heartfelt presentation. RIP

Another from the recently unearthed photos I took at Montreux Jazz 1978

I was at one of the shows the week they recorded that album. Everyone at the shows were given a voucher to receive the album when it was released. Never heard of anyone doing that before or since. Very special. Now playing:

You're right about Dick Allen. I always liked him, though. I remember at one point when he was playing first base and was heckled by fans, he would scratch "BOO" into the dirt next to the base with his cleat.

I lost track of them a long time ago, too

Saw them 2 nights in a row in a small club in SF in 1976. They were on fire! Epic released a promo live album "Jukes Live At The Bottom Line" recorded just a few weeks before those shows. It might be worth tracking down.

Always quality prizes from GA! 👍

Just ordered the new McCoy/Joe Hen CD set from BN because they had a 30% off sale. Unfortunately, after tax and shipping, that 30% disappeared pretty quickly.

I was there. Quite an experience.

I think you’re right, but it kind of negates the “festival experience”. I spent 10 years going to SXSW, followed by 5 seasons of Big Ears, and a big part of their appeal is seeing many different artists in different kinds of venues.

I'm going to have to listen to her I did one of the Marathons in 2019. Nothing wrong with the music, but the venues were pretty spread out around lower Manhattan (and now in Brooklyn). Not a great experience as far as that goes, especially the long walks in January.

That means I have to find them again 😁 I'll try this weekend
