Looking forward to what is billed as an "Anglo-Israeli Alto Summit" tonight - Alan Barnes and Gilad Atzmon.

Wow! Should be a good evening of music, Bill. Look forward to a report.

Well yes, certainly a good evening! Atzmon is a very powerful player - his physique, extrovert approach, showmanship and volume reminded me of Cannonball (yes, I saw him too!) You wouldn't have noticed this in a recording studio, but in the smallish room in Wilmslow (audience of 60) with no mics Alan was clearly out-blown when both were on alto, something that never happens when he's paired with Greg Abate. After the first number Alan retreated to a ballad and brought out his baritone, only to have Gilad say it looked "like an Israeli weapon". :lol: Gilad also came up to expectations by inserting quotes from Fiddler on the Roof into "All the Things You Are" and on "My Funny Valentine" his clarinet had a decided klezmer sound, his coda leading into a klezmer rhythm which was eventually picked up by Alan and even by local pianist Vinnie Parker!

Nice report, Bill. Thanks. I've never heard Atzmon, but he sounds like someone I would like. I'll have to check him out.

The Connecticut College Department of Music presents Mario Pavone in concert, Friday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in Evans Hall of Cummings Arts Center.

Pavone will be accompanied by the Orange Ensemble, a variant of his acclaimed Orange Double Tenor group that includes Dave Ballou (trumpet, flugelhorn), Ellery Eskelin (tenor saxophone), Kris Allen (alto saxophone), Peter McEachern (trombone), Gerald Cleaver (drums) and Matt Mitchell (piano).

This is where I will roam tonight. If it ends early enough, I may take the fifty minute drive down to New Haven to catch the second set of the Kevin Hays trio at Firehouse 12.

Due to be seeing Gilad's Orient House Ensemble within the next few weeks. Always worth checking out. He was on bagpipes at Swanage on one occasion. :)

Those would be Palestinian bagpipes? ;)

Wayne's group was on fire tonight! The communication between those 4 musicians is just spectacular. Can't single out any one performance or solo, but that's how that group operates - it's the 'journey' not the end point. Kudos to all!

Sadly, living in Nebraska, I don't get to join this conversation often. I got to see the Wayne Shorter Quartet tonight. Yeah!

I guess this was two nights ago, but I saw the Vogler (String) Quartet and Ian Parker do Shostakovich's Piano Quintet. I'm fairly sure this is the first time I've seen it live. It was very well done, most enjoyable.
