Saw him with Don Ellis in the 70s. Haven't heard/seen him in years, though.

Huh. Interesting!

I wonder what they mean by "Other Revelations"?

YIKES! I was really excited until I looked at the track list of all SIX disks. WAY too many Alt Takes. It would make a nice 3-disk set, IMO.

Good to know. I've been wondering about that set. There are also live cuts.

She did a sit-down interview at City Arts & Lectures here in SF on Monday. I probably should have gone, but I've seen her speak on her last couple of book tours.

Going to be another OUTRAGEOUS festival! I was able to get my "Sonic Explorer" pass yesterday, so ... can't WAIT!

I watched CCR from the most recent re-release of the Woodstock video and thought their long jam on "Chooglin'" (I think that was the song) was excruciating. Especially since it was 90% Fogerty hogging the stage.

Yes. I think tix were around $200 when he played at SFJAZZ a while back, so not unexpected. I figured it would be more like $300-500!

Kris Davis' brand new album. After seeing her with Terri Lyne Carrington and Val Jeanty tonight. Excellent show!

I saw Gary w/Kahil El Zabar, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Robert Irving III at the NYC Winter JazzFest in January. [Not sure what happened to my photo. Here it is again.]

Yeah - the catalog has been decimated. I contacted them about that and threatened to cancel. They admitted the "problem" but said they hoped to have a better selection by the end of the year. Since my subscription ends then, they extended it by 3 months. If things don't dramatically change, I'll probably cancel anyway. It's pretty worthless right now.

I like both of them. Haven't heard the new album yet, but will be seeing them next year. Tomorrow at SFJAZZ: Kris Davis' Diatom Ribbons w/Terri Lyne Carrington and Haitian DJ, sound sculptor and percussionist Val Jeanty

Not exactly "rock," but nevertheless ...

SOUND & FURY - Sturgill Simpson

I think the "excitement" is now in vinyl with the BN Tone Poet and Music Matters Jazz releases.

I have that. It's good! This is also supposed to be excellent, but I don't have it (yet).

Tomorrow night: Brian Blade's Life Cycles. Looking forward to seeing the amazing Blade!
