What live music are you going to see tonight?

[mikeweil]

Eva Maria Pollerus, Cembalo

Terra incognita
Die Cembalomusik G. Ph. Telemanns - Suiten, Fugen, Choräle, Konzerte, Galanterien

Going to see and hear my colleague from the Frankfurt Musical University, Eva Maria Pollerus, tonight, she plays a solo harpsichord recital with music by Georg Philipp Telemann exclusively. It is part of a new concert series inaugurated this summer devoted to Telemann, who worked and lived in Frankfurt for a few years early in his career, published his first prints there etc. Still an underrated composer, even though he may be the one most representative of the baroque music of his time, and by far the most influential in Germany.

Looks like a great evening's music, have a great time. That's a string section from heaven, maybe you could see if Tomeka Reid wants to join them as well...

I know Grdina's name but can't think of from where.

Saturday was a good day for live music. In the afternoon I caught the Bennie Wallace Trio with Matt Dwonszyk and Carmen Intorre at a record store appearance in Wethersfield, CT.

I then drove to Brooklyn, NY to hear William Parker's In Order To Survive with Rob Brown, Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver.

Two very different shows, but both very good.

My time machine is almost ready to go again. What city is this advertisement from in 1968?

[Steve Reynolds]

Dig up the listings for the Fillmore East for 1968 through 1970

[medjuck]

Saw Tom McDermott and Delfeayo Marsalis in a house concert at Tom's in New Orleans on Sunday night.  Was in NOLA for a funeral.  At least I heard some good music.

Ive seen some which has Duke Pearsons Big Band one day and Santana the next!

[sidewinder]

Interesting to see Jimmy McGriff there on that Marquee 1968 listing. I’ve heard of him popping up at some unlikely UK spots around that timeframe.

Maybe the most famous are the early February shows - triple bill:

Allman Brothers Band

Love

Grateful Dead

plus during the 2/11/70 show Duane Allman played with the Dead for a section of one of the shows. The 2/13 & 2/14/70 Grateful Dead shows are among the best the boys ever played and thankfully the best of the electric sets are immortalized on Dick’s Picks 4.

plus we have the Dead back-to-back with Miles I believe in April and/or June 1970. The original King Crimson with Greg Lake & Michael Giles in December 1969 and many more.

GEORGE!!!!!!

[Dave James]

"Best of Friends" - Davy Knowles Trio.  Tribute to Rory Gallagher. 

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

went to both nights of george clinton + parliment-funkadelic it was aboustely wonderful, it was almost like a church choir, the vocals were trancendent- 

[ejp626]

Not tonight, but next week Kirk MacDonald is having a CD release party at the Rex Hotel in Toronto (Wed. and Thurs).  I believe this is for Generations, a recording of a quintet with MacDonald on saxophone, his daughter, Virginia, on clarinet, Harold Mabern on piano, Andre White on drums and Neil Swainson on bass.  Sadly, Mabern isn't making the gig (or I'd go both nights), but Swainson is.  I'm going primarily to see him (and perhaps get him to sign a copy of 49th Parallel).

Depressingly, the excellent Greenwich Village music venue, Cornelia Street Cafe, is closing in January after 41 years.

Very sad for me. Sorry I can’t make it to the 12/30 show with Tom Rainey’s Trio with Ingrid & Mary. Many many great memories of incredibly exciting music I’ve heard especially over the past 10 years 

[HutchFan]

So sad to hear that the Cornelia Street Cafe is closing. BIG bummer. 

That said, 41 years is a LONG time. It was a good run.

[BFrank]

When I lived in NYC in the 80s my girlfriend lived on the same block as the cafe. It wasn't so much of a music/performance venue then, but I remember it fondly.
