Michael Weiss Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 Not sure if we will be streamed tomorrow night. But if you're in New York... https://www.jazz.org/dizzys/events/8149/the-little-giant-at-90-celebrating-johnny-griffin/ Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 This Thursday night (10/11), Scullers Jazz Club in Boston is bringing in a killer band. If you are going to be in or around Boston and you're free Thursday night, you might want to check it out. Drummer Ralph Peterson is bringing his "Messenger Legacy Band" together for a one night show with Bobby Watson & Bill Pierce on saxes, Brian Lynch on trumpet, Geoff Keezer on piano & Essiet Essiet on bass. I have front row seats. https://www.musicindustrydatabase.com/event/eventDetail.htm… Buy tickets here: https://www.ticketweb.com/…/the-messenger-legacy-b…/8585065… Quote
Kate Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 Phish tix in the po'box this p.m.; unlike Lockn where I at least feign roughing it in rolling 4 **** accommodations, I've decided my Outback and bricknmortar lodgings will do just fine on what should be an adventurous run from Hampton to Vegas between 10/19 and Halloween Night in Sin City. I'm only taking one show in Rosemont to facilitate a leisurely slog west, to include a one-night cabin rental in Grand Teton before spending another night in SLC (never visited either!). Near-universal wifi and a mobile workstation have revolutionized my quality of life more than quilted toilet paper, hot water heaters, and Trader Joe's Cookie Butter (though none are indispensable at this point). I've got trail running routes mapped along the way in addition to having identified a couple Y's where I can day pass into lap swimming. Happy. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 Last Saturday a particularly amazing 2 sets @ Cornelia Street Cafe Ben Monder on guitar Tony Malaby on tenor & soprano saxophones Nasheet Waits on drums Nasheet was otherworldly and even greater than that during the opening 20 minute piece that started the second set and Tony would converted any naysayers here or anywhere unless one is faint of heart. next Thursday Joe Russo’s Almost Dead @ Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA will be my third time seeing this exciting band that takes the music of the Grateful Dead and makes it brand new. My wife should be coming and she absolutely loves them. Also possibly seeing Phil’s band on either 11/1 & 11/2 @ Capital Theatre. Quote

I wanted to see the venue (newest in the Arts District), and it is beautiful, perfect for acoustic jazz. The set was not great or anything, but it was modestly enjoyable, particularly the quieter pieces where he played soprano. I quite like his bassist Eric Revis. The amusing point was when he announced he was playing an Andrew Hill song, and like two people cheered. So probably not too many Andrew Hill records in the audience's collections. Basically, I'm not feeling an irresistible urge to order Branford CD's today, but I probably would go see him again in the right circumstance. Edited October 12, 2018 by kh1958 Quote

It would have been even more amusing if the crowd got viscerally excited... Which Hilltune was it, do you recall? Quote

One of my favorites in a long while. To see these old Messengers playing those tunes... Wow. Having never seen the band when Art was behind the drums, this was nirvana, especially since Ralph Peterson had many of Art's pet licks down pat. If you live in CT, this band is playing at The Side Door in New Lyme, CT tonight & tomorrow. If you can, check it out. Rehearsal: Edited October 12, 2018 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote

BeBop Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Reminded me of a flash mob (remember those?) One of the major Paynesville academies let out for the end of the school week, and seemingly every student with access to a musical instrument (mostly drums of many types) was busting loose in a 20x20 meter cemented-in area. Sure, probably happens every week when I'm not around, but felt really special to be there. Photo too big to upload. Damn. Edited October 12, 2018 by BeBop Quote
jcam_44 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 Caught the Noah Preminger Quartet with Jason Palmer, Kim Cass and Dan Weiss tonight. Wonderful set Quote

mikeweil Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Enjoyed a great solo harpsichord recital by Medea Bindewald - Scarlatti-Fever. We had seats in the first row enabling us to watch her hands which was great, lots of crossing hands and other technical extravaganza. Edited October 21, 2018 by mikeweil Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 The Gold Sparkle Band in a rare appearance, since they have been split between Atlanta and New York for many years now. Quote
BFrank Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Saw the SFJAZZ Collective yesterday. It was the final SF performance with Miguel Zenon who is rotating out of the group after their upcoming tour. He is the last original member. Seeing vocalist Jazzmeia Horn on Thursday. I don't know a lot about her, but her album has some interesting cuts on it. Quote
