king ubu Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet tonight - quite excited, as good jazz concerts (i.e. not shows in classical halls that you can't really afford) by musicians from beyond the local scene seem to become more and more rare in Zurich these days ...

It'll be the same exact show you saw the last time, even the talk between the songs. Quote

And add to that that the festivals do the same, book the same guys (and happily some more gals) in similar constellations (oh, they were good last years, let's bring them back and replace X with Y this time 'round ... or let's add seasond veteran Z to young group ABC that needn't more than a sammich for pay ...) All the happier I am about the outstanding concert given by Akinmusire's quartet last night ... the first set was probably more than an hour already and quite a trip, the second even longer and full with quite moments this time, including a wonderful hommage to Roy Hargrove ... I love their live album from the Village Vanguard, and consider them to be an outstanding unit--how they can shift gears together, let things roll and then hop on again, change tempos and all that ... threy really have their act together, the material is challenging I guess, but also attractive, and while all four have their own voice, it's a band that is very much more than the sum of its parts.

relyles Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 Earlier this afternoon, Sam Newsome Quartet with Cooper-Moore, Hilliard Greene and Reggie Nicholson at the Hartford Public Library. I have heard Newsome several times playing with Darius Jones, but this is my first time hearing him as a leader of his own group. Cooper-Moore was a bit of a surprise as Angelica Sanchez was previously advertised. Very creative approach and nice afternoon of music. Quote

It'll be the same exact show you saw the last time, even the talk between the songs. I've seen Benny Golson 5 times (3 quartets and 2 large groups) and it has never been the same exact show. He likes to tell the stories behind his classic tunes. How often do you get to hear a composer of Golson's caliber discuss his work? The man is a living legend and still sounds great. Seeing Golson perform his classics, newer material and standards is a must-see concert. It'd be foolish to skip it, in my opinion. Quote

I caught them in Cleveland the day before and bought Broo's recent standards album afterward. After seeing them in February 2015, they didn't return for 3 years. I'm glad that they now have played here twice within the span of a year. In some ways, I feel like Atomic is kind of a spiritual successor to the ICP Orchestra. It is a group of improvisers/composers with a firm grasp of tradition and they have an irreverent, fun approach. Quote

I've actually lost count, to be honest. You are right in that he used to put on a great show with lots of great tunes. But the last two times I saw him, he played the exact same set list in almost the same order. The stories were the same too. In fact, they broadcast the second set to the last show I went to. I listened to it on the ride home and the second set was identical to the first. He used to play different tunes each set but not today. He is 90, after all. I was very glad I didn't buy tickets to both sets like I usually do for guys like Benny. Quote
OliverM Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Parisian festival Sons d'hiver has a very good line up this year (new artistic director seems to be former programmer of the Mulhouse festival). https://www.sonsdhiver.org/ Unfortunately, with a young child, cannot see as much as I would wish to. Went to see the interesting pairing of Evan Parker and Tyshawn Sorey this week. Very different styles and approaches which at first did not seem to fit that well together but progressively integrated very well. Lots of tenor from EP who was challenged to cut through by Sorey's sometimes "loud" (objectively speaking, no judgement here) playing. Will not miss Braxton next week, though we arranged for my wife to see the ZIM music date and me the solo the next day (hopefully we will find a babysitter soon). Quote
