Where was this or is this show? I saw this group at Vision Fest in June and they were spectacular. Plus Shipp has never been my favorite pianist. On this night he showed a side of his composing & piano mastery I had not experienced previously.

Michael Bisio resides in a NYC-style AIR loft building in Kingston, NY called The Lace Mill.

They have been having (approximately) monthly concerts on Sunday afternoons. Only upcoming one scheduled is Tani Tabbal Trio sometime TBA in Nov, I suspect winter sched. will be lighter.

It'll be announced on The Lace Mill Facebook page.

Interesting line up, good to see Rogers and Boni involved. Hopefully there will be a recording

Spoke with a trombonist who recalled when Johnny Griffin played with the orchestra.

Great show tonight. An impressive lineup. Picked up her recent RogueArt album after the show and will listen to it tomorrow. They're recording another one this week for release sometime next year.

Saw them last night @ Roulette in Brooklyn / wonderful. Especially Tomeka Reid who is a genius level cellist. Great large crowd. Amazing energy & enthusiasm in the great concert space.

Glad to hear they had a nice turnout. Couldn't tell here. They did 4 shows over 2 nights in the small (100 seat) Joe Henderson Lab at SFJAZZ. The show I saw wasn't quite full.

Agree about Tomeka. I've seen her a number of times and am more impressed with her every time! She recently received  McArthur award, too!

For this sort of basically “non-commercial” music anything close to filling 100 seats is pretty great. Not easy music. Invigorating and challenging to my ears.

True. Hoping they were able to at least 'mostly fill' all 4 shows.

Thumbscrew (Mary Halvorson, Michael Formanek & Tomas Fujiwara) are playing Friday & Saturday night at Jazz Gallery / 4 sets / I expect full house both nights / about 80 to 90 people I think. I’ll be there for the 7:30 set on Saturday. Bringing a friend who only knows classic jazz and some jam band stuff. I expect him to like the guitar player:)

Classical tomorrow:

The program will feature Sextuor (Sextet) by French Les Six composer Francis Poulenc (1899-1963). The work caused a stir when premiered in 1933, earning praise from liberal critics and scorn from traditionalists.

The Poné Ensemble for New Music will premiere a Duet for Violin and Viola by Stanley Walden, known for his work on the avant-garde theatrical review Oh! Calcutta! Other works will include Acadia for Oboe, Viola and Piano by the Ensemble’s own Shirley Hoffman Warren; Fanmi Imèn for Flute and Piano (2018) by African American flutist/composer Valerie Coleman; Duet for Flute and Viola by Malcolm Arnold (1921-2006); and The Water Sprites for Flute, Voice and Piano by American composer Amy Beach (1867-1944).

THAT must have been great

It most surely was. Braxton played with his New Quartet - Carla Tests, Susana Silva Santos, Maria Portugal.  If I understood the announcement correctly, this was the first time they had played the music live. The evident delight of AB playing with these musicians was an absolute joy to see, he fist pumped several times at the end whilst doing a little jig! The music was rigorous and engrossing in that way that Braxton music always is. Maria Portugal is someone to look out for.

Threadgill and Zooid inhabited that soundworld that we know so well from the recordings. The interplay between musicians was extraordinary.  HT sat out for longer periods obviously engrossed by the playing of his music. When he played, well there isn't a tone like that anywhere else. Played a lot of Poof I think.

Both sets very well received by a good if not sell-out crowd

John Zorn’s New Masada @ Roulette in Brooklyn 8:00 set

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I saw The Cookers last night in Portsmouth. Good times with a lot of my local Jazz buds. The band was cooking.

Eddie Henderson, David Weiss, Billy Harper, Donald Harrison, George Cables, Cecil McBee & Billy Hart. The only negative was that my ears were ringing for quite a while after the show due to Hart's incessant use of his cymbles. I forgot he was in the drum chair... I usually bring an ear plug for my right ear when Billy's playing.

Good to see George Cables is back. I saw him live recently in a trio format. He was excellent. Maybe they can bring Victor Lewis back too. ❤️

George played great but he's not in good physical shape. He's not mobile at the moment. Hopefully he can regain his feet in the future.
