Last night Ann and I celebrated our union in Pentwater, Michigan listening to Arno Marsh, Randy Marsh, Paul Brewer and company at Gull Landing. Wonderful evening and Arno is playing beyond any expectation - for the first time I detected a "Lockjaw" influence. Thanks guys.

Saw Maria Muldaur at a vineyard on Saturday afternoon. Sponsored by a local blues society and she is indeed a blues singer. Has a new cd out dedicated to Memphis Minnie. Good stuff. Makes me want to liten to the originals.

Getting ready to get some rest as I have work tomorrow but I will say this:

My wife says that Craig Taborn must be the best pianist there is. I told her he might be but she hasn't seen Cecil Taylor.

Two totally improvised sets of music and as I mentioned above the little place was packed, maybe because of the pianist being in the band.

I may try to describe what sort of music this was later if I can get a handle on it but I will say this - the first set was pretty damn great with the last 25 minute piece being from a place I wasn't very familiar with. It ended up being somewhat groove based and consisted of some strong looping repeated figures by Taborn culminating with Maneri playing some bass lines and drones on the lowest register of his viola unlike anything I've ever heard him play. The crowd went a bit nuts, especially for this place which is sometimes a bit subdued as a good portion of the crowd are regulars who have really seen and heard it all.

The lesson is dont leave before the second set. Three amazing pieces with the second being a masterpiece of doom metal free jazz improvisation with these masters inventing something they didn't know existed in them.

It ended almost better with a searching unexpected Smith solo completing the best set of music I've heard this year.

A couple of nights ago in Bellingham, Washington, I went to the opening concert of the Bellingham Festival of Music, an annual two-week-long classical festival. My sister-in-law, an amateur cellist, wanted to go to hear young cello hotshot Joshua Roman, whom she apparently has a crush on. The nature of the concert wasn't explained to me, and I thought it was to be a cello recital, but it was a full symphonic concert, with Roman as soloist in two pieces. He was very impressive, although I didn't really care for the two pieces he was featured on - Aaron Jay Kernis' "Dreamsongs," basically a cello concerto, was a real compositional mess.

But after the intermission, the Bellingham Festival Orchestra played Beethoven's Third. It had been awhile since I had heard it, and I had forgotten what an amazing piece it is. The orchestra was excellent - it consisted mostly of principal players from orchestra all over the country. The horn section in particular played like heroes, and I admit to feeling local pride when I saw that the principal horn was Brice Andrus, principal of the section in the Atlanta Symphony.
