Jason Moran in Houston and San Antonio this weekend:

Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party:
Jason Moran, piano and keyboards; Lisa E. Harris, vocals; Leron Thomas, trumpet; Tarus Mateen, bass; Charles Haynes, drums

Jason Moran pays tribute to Fats Waller, the influential stride pianist, composer and singer best known for his songs Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Honeysuckle Rose. Rather than interpreting Waller’s ebulliently swinging songbook directly, Moran breaks down melodies and riffs and then “the band builds on those fragments, in rhythms coming out of 1960s-and-beyond dance music: Motown, house, hip-hop” (The New York Times). This night will be a raucous party with an open dance floor and copious quantities of fun.

I want to go to this, but my final's next Tuesday. If it were one week later... Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.

We all felt our Houston pride as Moran spoke and played, but, for me at least, that pride turned into a question as I walked away from the park, into downtown—with nary a jazz club in sight. If Houston produces so many truly world-class talents, and has by all accounts some of the best jazz education in the country, then why is it so hard to find the music here? Where is the Houston jazz scene that is actually in Houston? Does it really even exist?

I'm wondering whether to make the effort to attend this concert, which requires being in downtown Fort Worth on a Thursday at 6:30 p.m.--is Shelley Carrol (Dallas' finest saxophonist) actually going to perform the entirety of A Love Supreme? And what will the Texas Tenor version sound like?

Sep. 18: Shelley Carrol Quartet Transcendence: Coltrane’s A Love Supreme

Tenor saxophonist, Shelley Carrol, performs the music of John Coltrane, including his masterwork, “A Love Supreme.”

I was wondering about this as well. It's going to be hard to make it there by 6:30.

Live jazz that could be seen and heard this week:

Wednesday night at 7:30, Eldar Djangirov Trio on the University of North Texas campus in Denton, The Campus Theater.

Sunday night, Greg Abate at the Jazz Depot in Tulsa, Oklahoma (5 p.m.).

Not a chance I'm driving toTulsa on Sunday, but the Eldar Trio in Denton is a possibility to consider.

Not a chance I'm driving to Tulsa on Sunday for Greg Abate, but who is in the Basie band these days, and do they sound like a real big band or are they just some more professional execution-ers? Rhetorical question?

http://www.okjazz.org/index.cfm?id=59&ai=410

The internet answers all questions:

The Count Basie Orchestra Personnel

Current members include musicians hired by Basie himself: Carmen Bradford (1983), Clarence Banks (1984), as well as Mike Williams (1987), Doug Miller (1989), and members who have joined in the last 15 years: David Keim, Alvin Walker, Will Matthews, Marshall McDonald, Doug Lawrence, Cleave Guyton, and our newest members: Mark Williams, Bruce Harris, Jay Brandford, Bobby Floyd and Marcus McLaurine.

They do get around, it appears.

The only one I've ever heard of is trumpeter Bruce Harris.
