Friday Night... was looking for you, but obviously, you weren't there! :)

First time I've been to their new location -- very nice. We stayed at the Blackstone, so it was an easy two block walk.

I'm hoping to come back in two weeks for the Jazzfest!

...got a few of Tootie as well...will post this evening. I was there for the first show on Saturday. I had several friends with me and we all had things to do on Sunday, otherwise I would have stayed over.

Let me know if you're coming to the fest; would be great to see you again!

Tonight it was Still Black Still Proud: The African Tribute to James Brown with Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley Jr., Martha High, Fred Ross, Vieux Farka Touré, Cheikh Lô, & Papa Assane with Pee Wee & Fred's band.

This past Thursday and Friday I saw Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings on the free stage at the State Fair.

Sonny Rollins tonight -- rain or shine!

Probably will see a few others there.

Am going to have to skip Grant Park tomorrow (Fri) due to work issues, but will see Greg Osby at 9 at the Green Mill. Hope to see some of you there too!

Tuesday night: Mingus Big Band at the Iridium. I was able to attend the second set--Paris in Blue, Jump Monk, Sweet Sucker Dance, Devil Blues, and Better Get Hit in Your Soul.. Among others, featured Abraham Burton, Frank Lacy, Helen Sung, Lou Soloff, Dwayne Burno, Earl McIntyre, and Kenny Rampton. At the end, Abraham Burton announced that this was the final set at the Iridium for the MBB. However, as I was leaving Sue Mingus said that they were relocating to Jazz Standard in October.

Wednesday night: Mike Stern trio at 55 Bar. A mighty fine set.

A friend of mine is dragging me to see "My Morning Jacket" tonight at Stubbs...I guess we'll see whether I regret it or not.

Well?

Surprisingly it was a very good show. I didn't like all the material, but as a whole they're definitely an interesting band. They have the ability to be a jam band, but they're happy with being succinct and keeping the songs relatively short. They did stretch out on a few numbers and were quite impressive. The one guitarist played pedal steel on quite a few tunes and also played saxophone on a couple songs. Their drummer is rock solid.

John Taylor Trio in a beautiful Dorset former country church setting. Should be fantastic ! :excited:

I envy you, Sidewinder! I do like the way churches are being made more use of for music - with Acoustic Triangle leading the way, actually seeking them out to persuade the vicar it might be a nice idea! Wouldn't work for all jazz - the echo-y acoustics might defeat some music.

The Taylor trio (I assume it's Palle and Martin) were wonderful in Sheffield back in January. Have a great time.
