Saw her about a year and a half ago at Big Ears. Really good show!

the Cookers at NSJ. Have been waiting for so long for these guys. Was about to see them in Rotterdam but than Covid kicked in so when I saw they came to NSJ I immediately got me a ticket. Very unfortunately Billy Hart and Eddie Henderson were absent and even more: one of my big musical heroes Billy Harper wasn’t here. But the show was amazing anyhow and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks @david weiss for a great show. I hope mr Henderson is okay

Glad to read that you have enjoyed the Cookers. I saw them in Kassel with the now-absent Eddie Henderson, Billy Harper, and Billy Hart!

Great band, even without Eddie & the two Billy's. Jeremy Pelt is a fine trumpeter.

Yes he is! He reminded me of Freddie Hubbard in both appearance and sound.

Last night Trevor Dunn’s Proofreaders playing the music of Ornette Coleman

Trevor on contrabass

Darius Jones on alto saxophone 

Nate Wooley on trumpet

Ryan Sawyer on drums 

tight 50 minute set. Darius & Nate are peaking as always. Stunning working of music that I used to listen to often years ago. Lots of fun. Ryan is a great drummer, fwiw. 

last Friday

Michael Foster, Webb Crawford & Joey Sullivan 

Michael on tenor & soprano saxes, Webb on guitar & tenor banjo & Joey on drums

Maybe the 7th time I’ve seen the trio / best set so far. Intense 30 minute piece/set

Webb is incredible. Michael remains to my ears, the best saxophonist in NYC. Endless ideas and intensely quiet or threateningly loud. What a sound. Especially on soprano.
 

Stunning

 

first shows in a few weeks. Went to over 25 in April & May.

Also saw Ambrose Mukinsire but he didn’t make any impression.
