cannonball-addict Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 According to various online sources, Charlie Haden, after a week of pedantic lollygagging at the Vanguard with his "Land of the Sun" band, he convened a 2004 Election Year edition of the LMO. Did anybody hear anything about this. I read somewhere that the new band featured Carla Bley, Michael Rodriguez, Chris Potter, Seamus Blake, and others. You all know I am a big Potter fan/dogmatist, so I would have died to see this show given the good company he was in. From what I understand it was on this Monday night? Is this the first time in recent memory that the Vanguard Band has been displaced on a Monday night or maybe did they integrate the two bands in an Ornettish free-for-all? cb-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 It is rare, but not unheard of for the Monday slot to be a different group than the Vanguard band. I can document Monday performances by Loren Schoenberg, Frank Foster, Tom Harrell/Sam Jones, Charles Mingus, and Chuck Israels The NYT ran an article about Haden who had led a smaller group for the week prior to the Monday and mentioned the one-night gig. There was also a little blurb on another day's NYT. Wish I could have made it too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball-addict Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I am assuming this thread got buried. Still wondering if any folks made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
