Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Going to see Kenny Barron tomorrow night. Quote
Ken Dryden Posted February 11, 2022 Report Posted February 11, 2022 I saw Gregory Tardy tonight, with bassist Sean Conley and drummer Dave Potter. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) So Kenny Barron last night was wonderful. He is still playing great at 78. My only complaint would be that the club I went to is new and they don't seem to have the hang of how to mix the sound for a piano trio or they didn't design the sound system right. We sat in front of the stage and could barely hear Kenny's piano if the trio was playing. I got up at one point and walked back into the club and after about two rows of tables, Kenny was clear as a bell. I think the stage speakers are too high up. They have to be 15-20 feet up.

Patrick Posted February 25, 2022 Report Posted February 25, 2022 Tonight at Kennedy Center, Mark Turner quintet presenting his reflection on The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. First time experiencing Mr. Turner for me. No idea about personnel. Quote
Gheorghe Posted February 26, 2022 Report Posted February 26, 2022 Just got a mail from Viena Concerthaus with jazz in spring schedule. I saw the names "Billy Childs" and "Branford Marsalis Concert". Billy Childs, wasn´t he that great keyboardist who played in the 70´s , I think with Freddie Hubbard, and with J.J. Johnson at Yokohama ? But the guy on the photo looks younger than I thought.... Would it be interesting to see the Branford Marsalis Quartet. I saw Branford only with VSOP II in 1983 and he was great. What kind of music are they playing ? Quote

Guy Berger Posted March 4, 2022 Report Posted March 4, 2022 I caught Ben Monder, Tony Malaby, and Tom Rainey at SFJAZZ tonight - my first concert since COVID began. it was really good - reminded me of a jazz take on late 60s / early 70s German guitar/electronic music like Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel or Guru Guru. It was my first time seeing Rainey in concert and… holy shit. The guy is a monster!!!! Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 4, 2022 Report Posted March 4, 2022 The last two nights, I was able to see Chris Potter (in a trio) and Yoko Miwa at the new jazz club in Portsmouth, NH, Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club. Next up on my calendar is Alex Minasian, who is bringing a great-looking band into Sculler's Jazz Club on March 26th, with Alex on piano, Billy Pierce on tenor, Vince DuPont on bass & one of my favorite drummers, Joe Farnsworth at the drum kit. I haven't seen Alex in many years. He was a local (Hudson, NH) piano prodigy who I first encountered when he played piano for Curtis Fuller's band when they played in the area. I bet he was around 15 the first time I saw him. How time flies... Quote

They are awesome, IMO yes Tom Rainey is one of the greatest drummers on the planet. Such a unique approach. Quote

Would have loved to see Mike Westbrook on Sunday, but could only attend Saturday. Anthony London   I was umming and ahing about Cheltenham, it is quite a trek and parking is never great. If I did go it would be Sunday to see the Westbrooks. Quote
