I caught Mark Dresser performing solo last night at a contemporary-art space. It was a very intimate setting, with only room for about 50 people, so there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Dresser did things on the bass that I had never heard before.

[Blue Train]

For anyone in the NYC area.

George Lewis with others.

Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet tomorrow, Steve Lehman Octet Wednesday, in DC.

If you get a chance i'd love to hear how these concerts went, particularly the Lehman. Did they perform any new stuff? I know there's a new Octet album coming out on Pi next year (as per Lehman's website).

Greg Abate with the Swingshift Big Band at Southport this afternoon. A very tired Greg told me he'd played 14 gigs in the 17 days he'd been in England. Will see him again at Wilmslow with a trio on Tuesday - my birthday!

The Taylor Ho Bynum concert was canceled. I won't say anymore about how that all went down. The Steve Lehman Octet performance at the Atlas was excellent. Prior to the concert, Lehman did a Q&A with the audience that was illuminating and interesting The group played quite well. Lehman said that the material they were performing had been commissioned by an arts group (forgot who), and that it would appear on the next album, which they were about to record. It's interesting how one can hear Jackie McLean and Anthony Braxton influences during the performance (Lehman's two principal teachers). One does not often get to hear octet performances these days, so that was a treat, and this was really an all-star ensemble, so that made it even better.

Caught Wayne Shorter's concert at the Barbican in London last night. First half was with the Quartet, 2nd half the Quartet plus the BBC Concert Orchestra with arrangements by Wayne. First reaction is that he's sounding even better if anything, than on other occasions I've caught him over the past 10 years and the Quartet has got even more coherent/telepathic. Both parts of the concert were fantastic but the orchestral music was really memorable (reminded me a bit of Jaco Pastorius 'Word Of Mouth', strangely enough). Mainly tenor from Wayne in the 1st half but he concentrated on sporano in the 2nd.

Cheers for that. The McLean and Braxton connection gets cited quite a bit, and as much as it's valid it amazes me how much Lehman has his own thing. In my head i don't really associate Lehman with Braxton at all; i associate him more with Steve Coleman if anything. Really looking forward to hearing that new octet material.

Yefim Bronfman playing Beethoven Piano Concertos with the VSO (Vancouver Symphony). He played #1 & 2 on Sat. and plays #3 tonight. Then he comes back in three weeks or so to do #4 & 5. Looking forward to the cycle, which seems to be a bit of a Vancouver exclusive.

I believe Bronfman is Toronto in Feb. but only doing #2 and #4 (though Torontonians will have Angela Hewitt passing through in March to play #5).

Thursday Randy Weston/Billy Harper Duo

Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Santa Cruz

That's going to be good, Mike. I saw Billy with the Randy Weston Trio at Yoshi's 4-5 years ago. Great show.

They're playing SFJazz on Sunday with Jason Moran (somehow). Would have gone, but ticket prices for that are sky-high. Good for Randy and Billy, though.

[Hardbopjazz]

Wow. That's a nice run you have lined up. The Chris Potter gig is apparently an expanded version of Underground, billed as the Underground Orchestra.

Last night I caught the Wayne Shorter Quartet in Buffalo. It was a special night.

[BFrank]

Just saw the Jason Moran w/ Cassandra Wilson show tonight.

A remarkable performance - spectacular, understated, emotional, dynamic........all at once. The communication between the two was electric and you could sense a special musical event unfolding as the night progressed.

They've been playing together dating back to the 70's

I know about Randy and Billy - I still have "Carnival" on Freedom from '75.

What I meant was, I'm not sure how Randy and Jason together is going to work.

I heard Charles Tolliver and his grp, here in my little postage stamp size town of Rahway, NJ. Hamilton Stage is a new 200 seat venue, only in it's second season. Beautiful music in a real nice room. Recorded for future broadcast on NPR next year.
