BillF Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Tomorrow at Wigan Jazz Festival: Mark Nightingale and Alastair White: The Sound of Jay and Kai. Just been reading about it on britishtrombone society.org. Really looking forward to this! Yes, it was a great gig! Have never heard those tremendous Jay and Kai arrangements played live before. Other material, too, from sources ranging from Terry/Brookmeyer to Alan Ganley. Two totally accomplished trombonists. Sat on the back row in the smallish room next to one-time British drum master, Eric Delaney, now aged 85! Quote

I have a DVD film of him somewhere shaking hands and chatting with Buddy Rich, from the front of the audience at a Rich London 'Talk of the Town' show around 1969 ! Quote

I have a DVD film of him somewhere shaking hands and chatting with Buddy Rich, from the front of the audience at a Rich London 'Talk of the Town' show around 1969 ! This afternoon, when the local drummer wasn't too happy with a number in three, Eric was showing the way by slapping away from his seat on the back row! Just looked him up on youtube and got some clips from The Six Five Special. God, that brings back memories! Quote

Guest Bill Barton Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Yesterday was the Monktail Creative Music Concern's Sounds Outside free outdoor concert of adventurous music at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I was there from around 2:00 p.m. until almost 8:00 p.m. A beautiful afternoon/early evening of music! Moraine and The Washington Composers Orchestra were superb. The duo of Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto (of King Crimson fame) had its moments too. Also had a chance to chat with scenesters Alicia Allen, Beth Fleenor, Brian Heaney, Dennis Rea, Jim Dejoie and Reptet members Samantha Boshnack and Johnny E. Quote
BFrank Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Saw Chris Smither in my friend's back yard last night. He hosted an "intimate concert" for about 100 people. It was very entertaining. Quote
theteach Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Saw Junior Mance solo last week. Boy, can he still play. Sounded great. My 9 and 1/2 month pregnant wife (and baby) loved it. Good to get out and see Junior play. May be one of the last times I get out for a while. Lou Edited July 27, 2009 by theteach Quote
PHILLYQ Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 caught Dumstaphunk and Soulive this past Friday at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Me and my friend took the bus there(parking is HORRIBLE around there!) and it had started raining earlier, sowe get off the bus and we spent about 45 minutes just standing around in a bus shelter with a couple of drunks and a couple of middle-aged women who looked rather proper. We finally made our way to the venue and donned garbage bag ponchos(I was prepared) and stood in the rain with about 75 people. The concert finally started about 30 minutes late and Dumstaphunk came out on FIRE! They were extremely funky, and on some tunes they used two bass players. About halfway through their set the rain stopped and then the venue started to fill up with what looked like a jam band crowd and some of the worst dancing I've ever seen(Do they go together?)!. After a break Soulive came out and played a very energetic set with some special guests, John Scofield and Christian Scott. Scofield was very on, soloing frequently and very well. Christian Scott played some great trumpet, and there two saxophonists added also. Pretty good for what looked to be a drenched evening and the price was unbeatable- free! Quote

king ubu Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 soon to begin, about a kilometer from where we live (but moving away then): http://www.streetparade.ch/ the "boom boom boom" will likely go on until Sunday afternoon or so, but lucky enough for about the second or third time this has been going on (18 years, I think, but it started very small and funny), it's raining, he he more seriously: Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley - Strasbourg, Oct. 2, 2009 - very, very excited! Quote
sidewinder Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) more seriously: Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley - Strasbourg, Oct. 2, 2009 - very, very excited! Unmissable. Their London concert of several years ago was gripping. And when Braxton came out all hell broke loose.. Have been a Cecil convert since seeing two solo concerts 10+ years ago at the Jazz Bakery in LA. A master, for sure. Even with the Vogon poetry. Edited August 8, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
paul secor Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 We went to the Marlboro (Vt.) Festival over the weekend. For me, the most enjoyable thing was attending six hours of rehearsals. Gave me a different view on things. Quote
michel devos Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Thursday night, I hope to attend a dinner party with André Brasseur, a player who gained some reputation in the 70ies with tracks like Early Bird, Ballade on the Beach, the Kid etc...He's now 70 and still goin' strong (kind of local Booker T) Did his name get into the US..?

king ubu Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 saturday night: Roman Schwaller Quartet feat. Jimmy Cobb http://www.festivaldajazz.ch/de/2009/progr...-schwaller-158/ No recreation jazz there, I guess, although it's billed as a "Kind of Blue" anniversary concert... Cobb was on a fine record w/Schwaller in the mid 90s and I hope they'll continue from there! Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Tonight it's Josh Sinton's Ideal Bread West plus Tom Varner on French horn at Egan's Ballard Jam House. Quote
