sheldonm Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 "She Was Hot" is 23 years old now. Was that really the first time it was played live?? Sal's a young guy, maybe he just thought it was a new tune!!! m~ Quote
HolyStitt Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Highlights for me were When the Deal Goes Down, Tangled Up In Blue, Workingman's Blues #2, and Thunder On The Mountain. This was one of the better concerts I've been to in a while -- even the opening act Kings of Leon were very good. I think having the new cd go #1 was a big boost to Dylan, gave some added enthusiasm to his music... and yes, that kind of stuff matter very much to Dylan. Go and see Dylan when he comes around, he and the band are in great shape right now. I am seeing him at the end of the month. Every couple of days I go to Bob's Links to check out the set list. How were new songs? Did he try and keep them exactly like on the CD or did he change them up in anyway? Quote

How were new songs? Did he try and keep them exactly like on the CD or did he change them up in anyway? The new songs sounded much better live, had a harder edge that on the cd. Thunder On The Mountain, for sure, was way better live. By the time you see him, I wouldn't be surprised if the set had six tunes from Modern Times. You should be in store for a great concert, it seems as if the band is getting better each night. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Saw the James Carter Organ Trio at Birdland on Friday and the Don Friedman Quartet at The Kitano on Sat. Ira Glasser was at the next table (his son Dave was playing alto & soprano)......I think I only saw him & the wife nod off once. He was 'okay'....Don & Billy Drummond were great! Quote

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Missed you at Twins the other night Weiz. To busy packing to come have a wiezen with your ol' pal Johnny E? Naa, had a few kid matters to deal with and a houseguest from Europe who was leaving the next day and who wanted to do a couple of things before flying out. I'd already taken him to the 'O' show the week before so I was hesitant to drag him over there again. Next time I'll ditch him at the airport 24-hrs before his flight.

I'll tell ya though, we had more than a few board members salivating over the possibility of viewing a picture of me and you half shot in the ass, arm-in-arm, steins in hand (or one of us choking the other).

One can only hope. Though I will take less new songs if he still has Desolation Row in the set. I was a little nervous because the first set list of the tour didn't have much variety from the Summer ballpark tour, but the shows since have had more variety. Quote

Larry Kart Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Last night in Chicago at Elastic caught trumpeter Jamie Branch, tenor saxophonist Joe Sexton, and drummer-pianist Marc Riordan -- all former New England Conservatory students, Sexton and Riordan still based in Boston, Branch has been in Chicago for several years (her folks live in a northern suburb, she works at the Jazz Record Mart). Very impressive more or less "free" playing, no waste motion. Sexton is a bit older and more developed than Branch -- a review that talks about him is here: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18470 -- but Branch is really in tune with these guys; they make a group music. I was especially impressed by what happened on the one piece where Riordan switched to piano; Webern out of Feldman gestures that really cohered and were responsive to, and were responded to by, Sexton and Branch. A nice touch is that Elastic, before and between sets, plays all kinds of good stuff through their good sound system, but wisely only one artist/band per night, so you can really get into that thing if you're in the mood, and also wisely, not something that's in the style of the music you're about to hear "live." Last night it was Armstrong Hot Five/Hot Seven. Damn did it sound fine. Another night it was Von Freeman's Atlantic LP. Etc. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 a organ trio is playing tonight (9-12) for $5 paper says they are a jam band and soul / jazz Quote
Larry Kart Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry, that's Jaimie Branch, not Jamie. I spell fonetikly sumtimz. Quote
Guy Berger Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) I am probably going to catch the Odean Pope - Andrew Cyrille duo. post-mortem: I've seen Andrew in concert 3 times, and each time I'm more convinced that he's one of the greats. He was awesome tonight. Odean Pope was good too, but I was expecting him to be a little more "outside". Guy Edited October 21, 2006 by Guy Quote
Bright Moments Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 my wife & i saw bruce hornsby tonight at gusman hall in coral gables, florida. bruce played solo piano - 2 sets with a short intermission between - over 2 hours of music. he played some great oldies and he also played some new tunes from his upcoming jazz album with dejohnette & mcbride and his upcoming bluegrass album with ricky scaggs. great venue, great seats, great music & great company = great evening!

Tony Pusey Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Scofield with Steve Swallow in Helsingborg. On thursday we saw a storming set by the Kocani Orchestra from Macedonia at the same venue, phew...Balkan brass and the whole theatre reduced to a heathing mass of dancers with the band scattered all over the auditorium.

mikeweil Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Saw a two piano recital on Monday night of Joseph and Anthony Parratore playing some Schubert, Camille Saint-Saens' version of Liszt's b minor sonata, Debussy's Prélude pour un après-Midi d'un faune, and a Gershwin concerto. Encores were an Irving Berlin Medley and excerpts of the Jazz Point Suite Dave Brubeck wrote for them - but one of the two brothers simply cannot swing ...... The Liszt sonata they played really well. Edited October 31, 2006 by mikeweil Quote

Michael Weiss Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Saw Sunday Matinee performance of Sankai Juku at BAM. Performances in USA are rare - one tour every few years or so. Not to be missed. Always great music by Takashi Kako. Quote

St. Paul, Minnesota Xcel Energy Center October 29, 2006 The show was great. The new songs sounded great and some of the songs I had heard in September sounded different with Stu Kimball playing acoustic most of the night. Denny Freeman is always a blast to hear live. Quote
