I need a new copy of Wels/Chicago Last 2 tracks on disc 2 remain the pinnacle for this trio: Blues for Tomorrow and Burning Sky But I've never believed they weren't based on charts

Totally agreed - again... Likewise I agree that it's preferable for posters to check whether there are any existing threads first prior to launching a new thread. It's not that "it's all been said before" but more a matter of keeping our collective wisdom/views arranged neatly. It will happen again

Please share thoughts on the CD when you're ready. will do. I've only listened once through so I'm not ready to comment as of yet Did you see my brief comments on the 8/10 set @ Birdland?

I picked up the Trio 3 CD with Jason Moran @ the Trio 3 show with Vijay Iyer!!

Another more skronky electronic improv recording: Love Me Two Times: Jason Lesacalleet with Nmpergin (Greg Kelley and Bhob Rainey)

Keith Rowe/Toshi Nakamura: Weather Sky Between - a slighly later 2 CD set - even better

Fine performance. Cyrille is mesmerizing with his seemingly simple freeish groove. My wife went nuts when they played his feature "A tribute to Bu" which is 90 percent Andrew with a little duo with Lake emerging after about 6 or 8 minutes of what is still an amazing to see and hear, melodic somewhat composed solo from the legendary drummer. Iyer was fine as was Workman(although undermiked) and The band hit their groove with a Workman tune titled "Synapse" when the Cyrille groove became unshakable and Lake really took it up and OUT. I think he scared a few tourists! Last 2 tunes were Wha's Nine from the great Live in Willisau CD from 1992 and then another older tune from that amazing record where Lake really let loose and I be a very happy boy by then. First time seeing the great trio in ten years and the addition of Iyer was very nice. The guys sound and look great and they deserve to have the crowds they have. Really about time. Only thing missing was Cyrille's "Shell" but that would be asking too much!

Fwiw we have real nice seats about 10 feet from Andrew Cyrille's bass drum Life is good

Trio 3 plus Vijay Iyer Trio 3 is, of course: Oliver Lake, Reggie Workman and Andrew Cyrille

full schedule up - I think it is a mis-print that shows John hebert on drums rather than bass! plus it irritates the hell out of me when they spell Mat Maneri's last name wrong. I be going Wed & Friday and maybe I make it in for what will be a very crowded little room on Saturday for the duo with Milford Graves 9/17 Tuesday 8 and 10pm Rocket Science Peter Evans (trumpet) Craig Taborn (piano) Sam Pluta (computer) Evan Parker (saxes) 9/18 Wednesday 8 pm Duos Evan Parker (saxes) John Escreet (piano) John Hébert (drums) Tyshawn Sorey (percussion) 10 pm Quartet Evan Parker (saxes) John Escreet (piano) John Hébert (drums) Tyshawn Sorey (percussion) 9/19 Thursday 8 pm Bleeding Edge Trio Peter Evans (trumpet) Okkyung Lee (cello) Evan Parker (saxes) 10 pm Evan Parker and Han Earl Park Evan Parker (saxes) Han Earl Park (guitar) 9/20 Friday 8 pm Mat Manieri, Lucian Ban, Evan Parker Mat Manieri (viola) Lucian Ban (piano) Evan Parker (saxes) 10 pm Evan Parker and Sylvie Courvoisier Evan Parker (saxes)Sylvie Courvoisier (piano) 9/21 Saturday 8 and 10pm Milford Graves and Evan Parker Milford Graves (percussion) Evan Parker (tenor sax) TWENTY DOLLARS. 9/22 Sunday 8 pm Jeremiah Cymerman, Nate Wooley, Evan Parker Jeremiah Cymerman (clarinet, electronics) Nate Wooley (trumpet) Evan Parker (saxes) 10 pm Solos and Duos Ned Rothenberg (reeds, shakuhachi) Evan Parker (saxes)

I agree with the comment about adding Mickey Hart back in to the band. Never as good as 1970 - 74 which is my favorite period. The second drummer, just like (IMO) when a great jazz band adds a second percussionist, stifles the flexibility of the band. It also coincided when the band's sound became heavier and fuller (at least on the live shiows I have from 77 & 79) with the seocnd drummer added to the mix. I do still very much like Dead Set from 1980 as for whatever reason, it has a rejuvinated Garcia as compared to the Nassua LI set I have from the previous year.

only joking!!!

Can I pick the few discs I want?!?!

not a competion but I am simply making a point regarding the often overlooked drummer

Seconded I was unaware of jazz until I was 31 and I didn't grow up in a cave

Bending Bridges is nice and the band live is well balanced and exciting And when she played in the trio with Laubrock and Rainey, she was spectacular. And she isnt the best musician in the trio.

Not today but this Saturday: Trio 3 plus Vijay Iyer @ Birdland

Been listening to quite a bit of Mobley recently Not loving Peckin Time - seems like very rote late 50's date with a not fully formed Lee Morgan and an unimpressive very young Charlie Persip on drums I think he is great on Drew's Undercurrent - plus Freddie is great as is Louis Hayes

Craig Taborn when he plays with Mat Maneri

I have to give this Russ Johnson guy a listen

Crispell-Guy-Lytton Then maybe you will really complain about the bass solos!!

Almost went to see this last night. I will order the Blu-Ray and the CD for what to me is reasonable @ $54.98. I only have a few of the 1972 sets (one of which I will be listening to on a longish drive to Binghamton, NY later today) as 1972 is rightly revered as one of the best times for the band - and the set list is strong.

@ smalls playing bebop on the piano?

something Bev just listened to - if the world was a better place, the *famous* melodic line that is the centerpiece of Barry Guy's "Harmos"

try to find this one:
