ejp626 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Posted September 1, 2019 Saw Angelique Kidjo last night at a free concert at Toronto's Harbourfront. It was solid; she had the crowd on its feet for most of the show. She mostly performed material from her latest two albums, a CD of Celia Cruz covers and Remain in Light, which remakes Talking Heads's songs from their album of the same name. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 Saturday: Charlie Musselwhite at the Bedford Blues Festival. My modest expectations were substantially exceeded. Robert Kimbrough Sr. at Six Springs. A rare opportunity to see Mississippi Hill Country Blues in Dallas, with Junior Kimbrough's son. Sunday: Nikki Hill Band at Bedford Blues Festival. My high expectations were met. A dynamic singer and band. Quote

HutchFan Posted September 13, 2019 Report Posted September 13, 2019 In NYC for a few days. 😁 Last night: Richie Beirach & Dave Liebman at Mezzrow Jazz Club. It was a tremendous show. I stayed for both sets. I happened to sit at the same table with Lee Konitz during the first set, which made the night even more memorable. I also had a chance to chat briefly with Richie & Lieb afterwards. Will post some pix later. Tonight: Miguel Zenón Quartet at Jazz Standard. Quote

Where are they performing, chewy? 14 hours ago, sidewinder said: Damed flamin’ awesome ! Never even realised they were on at Mezzrow so missed the streaming. If they archive performances and make them available later, do try to give it a look. After the show, I told Richie that I've NEVER heard a performance like their version of "Green Dolphin Street." Richie replied, "Neither have I!!!" Later that night, my wife and I were discussing the show, and both of us felt like Richie & Lieb were feeding off the VERY positive energy and appreciation coming from the audience. Spike Wilner even remarked on it at the end of the show, calling it "a great Mezzrow crowd." NOTHING like live jazz!!! 😁 Edited September 14, 2019 by HutchFan Quote

Nice moderation explaining the music, some anecdotes from their concert life . I have been following them for those many years, have most of their numerous recordings, they are all my generation, we have grown old. Their performances have reached a stage of cool wisdom and relaxation without losing any of the energy the music needs. Great. Edited September 14, 2019 by mikeweil Quote

kh1958 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Posted September 15, 2019 Last night, Tinariwen at Canton Hall in Deep Ellum. Quote
T.D. Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 Pedja Mužijević, solo piano concert "Bach Dialogues" J.S. Bach, Partita in C minor BWV 826 Fulmer, “whose fingers brush the sky” (2014) J.S. Bach, Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother BWV 992 Joslin, Cadaquésan Landscape (2017) J.S. Bach, Sarabanda con Partite BWV 990 This (free!) event was pretty good. The non-Partita Bach pieces are relative obscurities. The Fulmer piece involves piano "preparations" and strumming inside the piano; the Joslin piece utilizes 2 metronomes and a music box. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 Tonight, the Brazilian rock band Boogarins at Deep Ellum Art Company, and Mdou Moctar. Consecutive nights of African music is almost inconceivable in Dallas. Tinariwen, a good band. Mdou Moctar, simply awesome. Quote

An interesting blend of Brazilian and psychedelic. I liked them! Tinariwen is always good, too. Seen them 2-3 times. Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted September 18, 2019 Report Posted September 18, 2019 Matt Mitchell’s group - I’m 99% sure this is a first time playing together ensemble. About a month ago, Jon Irabagon was listed as being included on saxophone. I’m not upset he’s been dropped as I’m still not on board to what he’s doing despite his obvious virtuosic abilities. That being said: Mitchell on piano & compositions Brandon Seabrook on electric guitar Ben Gerstein on trombone Mat Maneri on viola Kate Gentile on drums Gentile is new to me and I’ve been almost a year without seeing my favorite of all-favorites, the brilliant Mat Maneri show is @ 8:30 @ The Stone at New School’s Glass Box Theatre, 55 West 13th Street near 6th Avenue Quote
