Nice - is Grissom touring with him?  I like McMurtry's newest album quite a bit!

Don't think so. A friend saw him in LA and it was just his usual quartet.

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.

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:)
