Caught Kenny Barron and his trio last night at the Regattabar in Cambridge, MA. It was excellent. His drummer, Savannah Harris, was very impressive. It was an excellent band. 

He mentioned a funny story about when he played there with Stan Getz when the place opened 30+ years ago. I've been going there for a long time, but not that long. 

I had tickets to the show last night but had to back out at the last minute. I heard from the person who used my tickets that it was very good, especially Harris. I attended quite a few shows at the Regattabar when Barron played with Getz but it sold out quickly and there was no such thing as a secondary market back then.

Last night at Lowlands

Son of Goldfinger

Tim Berne, David Torn & Ches Smith

50 minute piece with 11 minute short piece to close

all improvised as is the group’s way

incredible as always. First show of the group in over a year. Playing again next Tuesday. Ches Smith is a force of nature. Best playing I’ve heard from David Torn. Peaking at 72, apparently:)

Same band, same time, same place. 15 minutes until take off:)

53 minute continuous piece / recency bias but one of the greatest sets I’ve ever witnessed. The intensity & power of this trio is boundless. Ches’ electronics were deeper & heavier than last week & David played the disruptor as well as being even grittier than last week. Wowza.

Saw Altschul's Axiom 5 group (John Irabagon, Uri Caine, Mark Helias) at Big Ears this year. An excellent set!
