I thought with her band, it was all a little stiff, and unspontaneous - but still fun. She's got loads of personality that shines through, and I love most of her quirky songwriting, not entirely unlike Bjork (or Fiona Apple, for that matter). Wish I could hear her solo sometime, probably a lot of fun. Enjoy! Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I am seeing Javon Jackson's superband, We Four, tomorrow night at the Scullers Jazz Club in Boston. I think it's a tribute to Coltrane (according to this blurb: http://www.vtjazz.org/events/2016/11/we-four-javon-jackson-and-jimmy-cobb-celebrate-the-music-of-john-coltrane.html) Javon's bringing Joanne Brackeen, Eddie Gomez & Jimmy Cobb with him. George Cables was originally scheduled to play but he seems to be sick and it looks like it's been for quite a while. I hope he's OK. On the bright side, if there can be a bright side to someone being sick, I haven't seen Brackeen in many years, if at all. I really can't remember the last time I saw her play. EDIT: I just realized that Joanne Brackeen is 79! I did not know she was that old. Man how time flies. There are shows Friday & Saturday. If you're in the Boston area, you might want to catch this band. Edited October 27, 2017 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote

Possibly for a couple of reasons external to the performance, I was not able to get fully engaged with the music. Thinking about possibly hitting Firehouse 12 tonight to give it another shot. Otherwise, other possibles for the weekend included Buster Williams Something More with Bruce Williams, George Colligan and Lenny White at the SideDoor Jazz Club in Old Lyme, CT, or Burton Greene Quartet in Newburgh, NY.

A very good evening of music from Buster Williams & the quartet. This was my first time hearing Lenny White live. A remarkable drummer, a giant of his instrument, really. Not a fan of George Colligan, to my ear Chick Corea was a major influence; not that it's a bad thing,. This was also my introduction to Bruce Williams [Buster's relation?], who substituted for Steve Wilson, and quite masterfully. Epistrophy was a nice, juicy icing on the cake, that consisted mainly from originals. If anyone wants to know the set list, I wrote it down. It's a bit of a schlep for me, 80 miles each way, but it was well-worth it. The location is perfect, literally a few hundred feet from the I-95. Next time will get there earlier to catch a dinner before the show. The club itself is just small enough not to be cramped. The acoustics are terrific. It's interesting that you pay for both sets, there is no option for paying just for one. Sets were about 50 min long. Edited October 30, 2017 by Dmitry Quote
kh1958 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 Saturday night, Lucky Peterson at Red Hot and Blue, about a mile or so from my home. An outdoor venue on an unseasonably cold night, but a real B3 is present so after too long of a wait there is lots of tasty organ playing, as well as some rather fine guitar. Quote
bertrand Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 I will be in Allentown as well! Quote

Happy birthday Gunter! To the best of my knowledge he's not played in the UK for a very long time. One of the true originals who I'd love to see live. Maybe I need to travel to see him now Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 Tomorrow night in Boston - Benny Golson at the Scullers Jazz Club. It should be a good one. I do wish that they'd list the rest of the band. Quote

optatio Posted November 11, 2017 Report Posted November 11, 2017 Tonight I will see Rolf Kühn (88!) with his Unit in our German Theater as part of our 40th Jazzfestival. Line Up: Rolf Kühn (cl), Philipp Gropper (sax) Ronny Graupe (g), Johannes Fink (b), Christian Lillinger (dr). Rolf Kühn is a contemporary witness of the Reichskristallnacht (Crystal Night) November 9, 1938. He was 9 years old when he viseted the shop of his mother, born Moses, in Leipzig the day after and saw the wrecked furnishing by the Nazis with bike chains. Quote
