What live music are you going to see tonight?

[Steve Reynolds]

Boom Tic Boom (Allison Miller, Knuffke, Scheinman, Melford & Sickafoose)

Sounds awesome

[jlhoots]

It was.

90 minutes of great music.

Back from New Orleans. The (more or less) complete musical rundown:

Panorama Brass Band (with Aurora Nealand and Matt Perrine) - a second-line wedding reception in Bywater.

Wendell Eugene with clarinetist Brian O'Connell at the Palm Court. Trombonist Eugene is 90 and is now the oldest currently active musician in New Orleans. I had admired him on records for years and was very pleased to finally hear him in person.

Young Fellaz Brass Band playing on the street on Frenchmen.

A large, excellent pickup brass band at the Family Ties Social Aid and Pleasure Club second line in Treme.

Wendell Brunious at Preservation Hall. Some of the best music I've heard there in years.

The Hot 8 Brass Band at Howlin' Wolf.

Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses at Maison.

David Doucet at the Columns Hotel.

The Rebirth Brass Band at the Maple Leaf.

The Tin Men at d.b.a. - with the Best Tuba Player in the World, Matt Perrine, again.

Not a disappointing performance in the bunch, if you allow for the fact that Mr. Eugene is 90, and not the trombonist he once was.

Last night, Muhal Richard Abrams at the Kennedy Center with Jonathan Finlayson, Reggie Nicholson, Bryan Carrot, and Sam Jones(?) (misplaced my program). An hour long composed piece (title not announced) with solos for all. Just stunning, and Muhal's hands are huge! As emotionally moving and as monumental, albeit with a smaller group, as the Cecil Taylor big band several years ago at Iridium.

It's Brad Jones, and Carrott has two Ts.

Enrico Pieranunzi Trio (w. Pete Turner (bass), Dave Walsh (drums)) in Sheffield. Excellent evening, as expected, of nicely reshaped standards plus some originals. Had some very excited Italian ladies behind me.

I was there as well. Sat a few rows behind Bertrand, and just in front of Joanne Brackeen, Roy Haynes, and Jimmy Heath. This was my first live experience with Muhal, and I was blown away. Such a big sound with economy of motion. I will have to seek out other work by Bryan Carrott.

[bertrand]

Yes, Bryan Carrot was great. Any recommendations?

Last Tuesday, Tom Harrell's Trip at the Village Vanguard.

Last Wednesday, Doug Carn Quintet (with Stacy Dillard on saxophones, Duane Eubanks on trumpet and Lonnie Plaxico on bass) at the Zinc Bar. The crowd was sparse but the music was fantastic.

Last Thursday, George Cables and John Webber duo at Mezzrow. A very nice new club with great sound and a friendly atmosphere.

Friday night, Abdullah Ibrahim (solo piano) at Zankel Hall. A very quiet, lyrical and reflective solo concert, followed by the the very high energy and fairly loud (re-formed to celebrate Anita Evans' birthday) Gil Evans Orchestra at the Zinc Bar. An 11 piece band including Mike Clark on drums, Dave Taylor on trombone, Lou Soloff and Miles Evans on trumpet, Mark Egan on bass, Gil Goldstein on piano, Delmar Brown on keyboards, Minu Cinelu on percussion, and Oz Noy on guitar. For the opening of the second set Mark Egan was replaced by a bassist who looked (and played) alot like Jaco--later introduced as Felix Pastorius, the son of Jaco.

Saturday afternoon, a free performance by Jason Moran of his Fats Waller Dance Party, in a street fair on 96th Street and Fifth Avenue.

Saturday night, Ben Allison (with Brandon Seabrook and Steve Cardenas on guitar and Allison Miller on drums) at the Cornelia Street Cafe. That might have been the best two sets I heard this visit to NYC. Next, to Smalls for a set by John Ellis (group included Kevin Hays and Kendrick Scott), and finally by the Philip Harper Quintet. With long ago memories of seeing the Harper Brothers and the very late hour, I nearly left, but ultimately stuck around and was quite pleasantly surprised by Philip Harper and the high quality of his group.

Quite a trip!

We almost headed over to Cornelia Street for that Ben Allison band as we took my brother and sister-in-law to Katz's for a special NY experience.

I was intrigued by that band as I like Seabrook and I was wanting to know what two guitarists would sound like in a quartet in one of my favorite small rooms.

Very glad you enjoyed your trip. You show great energy and passion in attending so much live music over a short period of time.

I wish I had more energy and time to see more live music

Next show - Tamarindo this Saturday at Cornelia Street Cafe

New York is a great town. Just confining myself to Greenwich Village, there are nine or ten live music clubs that I like within easy walking distance.You have to take advantage when you live in a city where live jazz is a relative rarity. I wish I was there this week to see some of the Oliver Lake sets at the Stone.

Evan Parker and The Necks at Cafe Oto in a couple of hours

I can't wait to see how this works. I find the Necks music completely enthralling and they seem so self-contained that I'm not surprised they don't usually collaborate....we'll see

I may make wednesday's AMM and EP which will make an interesting contrast

Enrico Pieranunzi Trio (w. Pete Turner (bass), Dave Walsh (drums)) in Sheffield. Excellent evening, as expected, of nicely reshaped standards plus some originals. Had some very excited Italian ladies behind me.

Because they were behind you?

[A Lark Ascending]

Possibly - they seemed to have a thing for wrinkled old greyhairs. Kept hearing them getting excited by the Sheffield Jazz programme - a flurry of indecipherable Italian interspersed by a highly accented 'Beets and Peeces Beeg Band'.

Makes a change from "Ee by gum, and to think I skipped t'whippet monthly club for this bollocks."

How is Cafe Oto? I might try to get there on Sunday for EP if I can squeeze it in.

Any comments on Monday night?!?!

[clifford_thornton]

I've got a disc of Evan Parker & AMM (with members of the Gunter Hampel Group for good measure) from 1972 and it's not very interesting. Too bad.

I think they've been practicing since then

The Rowe/Parker duo disc from the turn of the century (exactly) is very good.

Parker sticks to the tenor

[BillF]

Got my ticket very early for the Dmitry Baevsky Quintet featuring Joe Magnarelli at Southport in February. The rhythm section that they use in Europe is Alain Jean-Marie on piano, Giorgios Antoniou on bass and my favorite British drummer, Steve Brown. Can't wait!
