Should be able to get out to see Mike Murley in a week or two at Hirut.  I am excited to find out that Gary Smulyan is coming back to The Rex in mid Feb., so I'll try to catch one night for sure and possibly a second.

This trio was absurdly great tonight. Lordy Lord

9 minute piece followed by two 15 minute pieces ending with a 18-19 minute tour de force. The band stunned itself. 

Genius level improvisation by three of the greatest musicians on the planet.

Just saw that the Bad Plus is doing a farewell tour where they are exploring the music of Keith Jarrett.  They have one Toronto date in early March up in North York.  I don't think there any other Canadian dates, though there is a Montreal gig with their current line-up (not the special guests).  I'm not sure I would have gone but then I heard they were adding Chris Potter and Craig Taborn to the mix, and I thought that would be worth checking out.  This super group is playing Oakland, Los Angeles and a lot of European dates, but not as many US dates as I would have expected.
