Van Basten II Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Glad to see Goldberg doing well, saw him when he was with Joshua Redman, thought he was quite good. Quote
sheldonm Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) The United Trombone Summit with Slide, Curtis Fuller, Bill Watrous and Steve Turre last night in Indy....cool show. Got to hang our afterwards to hear some fun stories....managed to get the four of them together for a quick photo as well. Mark~ Edited March 1, 2009 by sheldonm Quote
sheldonm Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Wynton and Jazz @ Lincoln Center band tonight in Indy....my first time with Wynton Quote
kh1958 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Last night, Lucky Peterson at Pearls. It's been a long time since Dallas had a decent blues club. Finally. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 Tonight, the Ron Carter Quartet: Ron Carter - Bass, Stephen Scott - Piano, Rolando Morales-Matos - Percussion, Payton Crossley - Drums Quote
JohnS Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Roger Beaujolais Quartet. Imo the UKs best vibraphone player. Plays a lot of Blue Note pieces you don't here from anywhere else. Quote
medjuck Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Saw Betty Levette at a small venue (used to be a church) in Toronto on Friday night. She was great. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Tonight, the Ron Carter Quartet: Ron Carter - Bass, Stephen Scott - Piano, Rolando Morales-Matos - Percussion, Payton Crossley - Drums A very fine performance, excellent group interaction. Check them out if you can. Stephen Scott was featured on My Funny Valentine and incorporated the last 50 years of jazz piano into his solo parts without showing off - he's grown considerably over the last ten years (as did his waistline ...).

Yep, last time I saw Roy Hargrove Quintet, I expected the excellent Gerald Clayton at the piano and it was Scott. No extra notes, no Here-comes-my-solo-Men! just what is needed to keep the groove growing (too). Quote
Van Basten II Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Saw Tindersticks last nught plus an apparition of Lhasa who sang a few songs solo. Quote
HolyStitt Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Just back from the 2nd set of the SF Jazz Collective at the Dakota. Quote
EKE BBB Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Hopefully I'll catch Jim Kashishian's Canal Street Jazz Band tonight at the Populart. Quote
BFrank Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Anyone seeing Zorn at Yoshi's this week? Quote
Chalupa Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Last night it was the Matthew Shipp Trio. Monday night it's Flower Travellin' Band!! Quote
BFrank Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Last night it was the Matthew Shipp Trio. Monday night it's Flower Travellin' Band!! Nice. Shipp puts on a good show. Quote
nathan Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Zorn's Electric Masada at Yoshi's last night -- pretty great show! Marc Ribot, Trevor Dunn, Cyro Baptista, Kenny Wollesen, Joey Baron, Jamie Saft and Ikue Mori. They sounded more evolved as a unit than the last time I saw the band, with a lot of Game Piece style signals/conducting tricks in the mix. Great show with nice variety of HEAVY music and downright pastoral pieces (Yatzar was gorgeous). The percussion section was absurd...in a good way. The crowd was very enthusiastic and it was cool to see a lot of Bay Area musicians in the house. nathan Quote
EKE BBB Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Hopefully I'll catch Jim Kashishian's Canal Street Jazz Band tonight at the Populart. My modest review at Mule Walk & Jazz Talk. Quote
BFrank Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry I missed the Zorn residency. Just too focused on getting it together for this week's SXSW madness in Austin. Maybe I'll catch Zorn in NYC someday. Quote
HolyStitt Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 David "Honeyboy" Edwards at the Dakota tonight. Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Jeez - Honeyboy's great. I've seen him in Atlanta and Chicago. There was something special about seeing/hearing him do "Sweet Home Chicago" at Rosa's in the Windy City. Going tonight to hear Bill Frisell down the street from me in Atlanta. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Roger Beaujolais Quartet. Imo the UKs best vibraphone player. Plays a lot of Blue Note pieces you don't here from anywhere else. Ooh I dunno! Orphy Robinson's my man! p.s. Corey Mwamba as well, who posts here on occasion, is an awesome player... BTW - I have always really enjoyed Beaujolais when I've seen him Quote
Shawn Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 I'll be making the rounds of the free SXSW shows again today. Hoping to catch Earthless (psychedelic instrumental freak-out rock) at Maggie Maes this afternoon. Then probably cruise over to the "Full Metal Texas Fest" at Emos. Quote
AccuJazz Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 I'm going to the Velvet Lounge in Chicago to see one night of Fred Anderson's 80th birthday party. My friend from high school, Mike Moynihan, drove up from IU in Bloomington to play as a "Special Guest" there tonight. Then tomorrow night it's a tough choice between Vijay Iyer at the Jazz Showcase and Joe Locke at the Green Mill. Not to mention the Blue Note 7 is playing the big bucks gig at Symphony Center. Feels like I live in NY or something. Quote
