king ubu Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I could catch Dr. Lonnie Smith for free tonight - should I go? Any good? He'll do two free sets with an outfit called "The Original Grooves": Martien Oster (g), Miguel Martinez (as), Gijs Dijkhuizen (d) - sounds like a dutch band with spanish alto sax player... none of the names are familiar to me... should I try and catch them?

sidewinder Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I could catch Dr. Lonnie Smith for free tonight - should I go? Any good? The biggest no-brainer of all time. Yes, yes, yes ! Quote

king ubu Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Holy smokes! Smith was da shit, as they say!!!!!!!! The band really got it together in the second (almost 90 minute! the first was more than an hour already) set. They did some standards (Sweet and Lovely, Willow Weep for Me, a beautiful alto feature Harlem Nocturne), the Beatles' Come Together in the funkiest ever version, and several Smith originals - great great music, loud and stinky as that kind of music ought to be! (I did some thinking and I'm quite sure Larry Goldings' Trio was the only organ group I've heard live before... now that was a whole different thing last night!) You'll find it elsewhere in a week or two, if you know where to look! Quote

king ubu Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 Forgot to mention that after the Lonnie Smith concert, I got a free entrance ticket for the concert of Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca - that was another great concert! I guess some might find his music a bit kitschy... influences (as I hear them) are Rubén Gonzalés, Abdullah Ibrahim, some mediterranean/arab/andalous stuff, and generally Cuban son and also Mexican bolero, I think. His quintet features the great Javier Zalba on saxophones (soprano & alto), clarinet and flute - it was a joy to see him play! Quote

Last time I saw him (with Lou!) he got down on his knees and played the pedals with his hands. Quote

Last time I saw him (with Lou!) he got down on his knees and played the pedals with his hands. Yeah, he did that, too, on "Come Together" in the second set... hilarious! In fact his "bass" solo didn't include more notes that his usual, basic (but great!) bass lines, but it was a great show he put on! Quote

ep1str0phy Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Thought someone here would appreciate it, but last night attended this concert: Chris Brown (piano, electronics) India Cooke (violin, etc.) Fred Frith (guitar) Roscoe Mitchell (reeds) Pauline Oliveros (accordion, electronics) Zeena Parkins (electric harp, etc.) William Winant (misc percussion) One of the most surreal nights of my life. Studying directly with Ms. Parkins and Mr. Mitchell right now, and it's a real experience. Quote

I just saw this.... In the Faust score composed by Willem Breuker, the soprano saxophone part is being played by Frans Vermeerssen. On doctor's orders, Willem Breuker will not be part of the Kollektief ensemble at tonight's performance. I hope Willem is OK. Quote
