Just picked up a couple of tix for this next Sunday. I have no idea what to expect, but tix weren't that expensive, and it's guaranteed to be "different".

I've seen Bandwagon at least 2-3 times, just not sure what to make of the skateboarding.

I'm sure JaMo has it well choreographed, though.

Monica Vasconcelos and a small band (keyboards, bass, drums) playing a fabulous evening of mainly self-composed (or band composed) Brazilian material. Tremendous.

There's apparently an expanded line-up doing a 20 year celebration at the Vortex tonight.

Is that Greg Hopkins the trumpeter? He performed in Hartford last Friday with Earl MacDonald and the Hartford Jazz Society's New Directions ensemble as a last minute replacement.

Yup. Trumpeter Greg Hopkins is a Professor of Jazz Composition at Berklee: http://www.berklee.edu/faculty/detail/greg-hopkins

Chris Wood. Goes from strength to strength - richly in the English folk tradition but with mainly self-written songs that reflect our current troubled times.

I caught the 11 o'clock sets of Steve Kuhn with Buster Williams and Joey Baron at Birdland last Thursday and Friday, as well as the 7:30 set of George Coleman's Organ Quintet (w/ Mike LeDonne, Peter Bernstein, George Coleman, Jr. and Daniel Sadownick) at the Jazz Standard on Friday.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

looks like a good show, Kevin

It was phenomenal. Gardony opened the set solo, playing pieces from his new solo CD, "Clarity", and then switched to the sextet for another hour and a half. Great night and I'm glad I decided to go on the spur of the moment.

[Steve Reynolds]

plus Kevin, the only thing you might like more than two great tenors is two great baritones!!

glad you went out and caught the show

[ejp626]

Saw the Vancouver symphony doing Brahms Double Concerto (Violin-Cello) and they did a very nice job. This may be the only time I've heard the composition live. Probably should have left at intermission. The VSO did a credible job on Sibelius' Legends Suite, but I don't think the piece is actually all that. So much bombast for so little effect. The English horn solo part is not completely without interest, I guess, and that sort of dominates the 2nd and 3rd part of the suite.

[BFrank]

Buddy Miller & Jim Lauderdale

Saw them twice in Austin a couple of months ago. Good show!

Thanks again to the Indian Classical Music Circle of DFW for a fabulous concert in Allen, Texas. Vishwa Mohan Bhaat on the Mohan Veena (a modified guitar sounding like a cross between a sitar and a guitar), and Subhen Chatterjee on tabla.
