I'm not going to be able to see this, as I'm going out of town that morning, but...

There's also Vonlane, which is the luxury bus alternative. They will get you there (downtown Houston) in under 4 hours in reasonable comfort (very comfortable seats with wifi and a stewardess serving drinks and snacks like you are on an airplane and it's 1970 again). But priced the same as the lowest Southwest Airlines fare between Dallas and Houston.

Nameless Sound presents the regional premiere of Ran Blake Film Noir, featuring the renowned pianist performing original scores and improvisations to excerpts of classic film noir.
"Blake has a singular ability to make a single note speak volumes about the human condition, and to turn silence into a withering cry." - Bill Shoemaker, Jazz Times

Deeply introspective, often starkly expressed and sometimes beautifully austere, Ran Blake possesses one of the truly personal stylistic voices of modern jazz. It's is a piano music that is unquestionably of the idiom. Yet it defies the easy linear histories that simplify jazz as a succession of heroic musical innovations, and that position artists on a chronology of what is supposedly avant-garde.  

Much of Ran Blake's unique musical world is constructed from a combination of clear yet seamless inspirations. His deft ear and adroit touch that dovetail blues tonalities and atonalism are likely born from the marriage of early influences such as Bartok, Debussy, Stravinsky, Monk and Ellington. But other influences may be more surprising. Important to Blake is his love of singers like Mahalia Jackson, Al Green and Ray Charles. Far from mere stylistic influences, they are inspirations in the deepest sense, and subjects of study.  

One of Blake's most important influences is not directly musical. He apparently had a life epiphany at the age of 12, when he saw the film Spiral Staircase. And he watched the thriller 20 times in a three-week period. Of this period, Blake said: "Plots, scenes, and melodic and harmonic surfaces intermingled, obtruding into my day life as well as my dreams." He began mentally placing himself inside noir films. This, as well as real life scenarios, inspired his first original compositions. The influence of the Pentecostal church music he heard growing up in Suffield, Connecticut, combined with his musical immersion in what he terms "a film noir world" and laid the groundwork for his earliest musical style. 

He was formally and informally a student of some of the most impressive names in modern jazz, including Mary Lou Williams, Oscar Peterson, Mal Waldron, Bill Russo and Gunther Schuller. It was Schuller, who brought him on to the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music, the first American conservatory to offer a degree in jazz. There, the future MacArthur "Genius" founded the Contemporary Improvisation Department and developed his pedagogical approach, called "The Primacy of the Ear". At New England Conservatory he became highly influential himself, mentoring generations of musicians including Matthew Shipp, Don Byron and John Medeski.  

"Here there is jazz per se, and there is music that sounds like Debussy improvising alone at night in a big room, trying to scare himself." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times

It would be doable on a Saturday, depending on my interest.

I recall a jazz club in Tulsa that opened for literally three weeks called the Purple (or Red, or Green) Onion. One week they had Sam Rivers Trio, the next Woody Shaw Quintet, and the third week they booked an "alternative" big band out of Denton

 

 

—Any more info on this? Know a year/date?

Amina Claudine Myers (New York, NY) -  Hammond B3 organ and voice
 
mail?url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.constantcontac

The first-wave artists comprising the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) encompassed a breadth of what would later become the organization's motto: "Great Black Music, From the Ancient to the Future". The groundbreaking initiative of self-determining musicians was born in 1960's Chicago, and its early members constituted a vital nexus of musically and geographically diverse histories and futures. 
 
Among these first-wave artists, none expresses their deep roots in Southern African American traditions quite like the virtuosic, versatile and emotionally moving pianist, organist, vocalist and composer 
Amina Claudine Myers. Born in a small Arkansas town of about 250 and raised in Arkansas and Texas, Myers was only four years old when she began playing the piano. While a teenager, the young prodigy was directing choirs and playing organ in her Dallas area church, while also beginning her studies of European classical piano repertoire. Already an experienced professional when she started college, Myers began making jazz, r&b and gospel gigs while attending Philander Smith in Little Rock. At Philander Smith, she majored in music education, played in a college jazz ensemble and studied classical piano. In 1963, a public school teaching job brought Myers to Chicago. There, she would join the AACM, while also working as accompanist to such jazz greats as Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt.     
 
In the AACM, the prodigious and multitalented player began working out musical ideas of her own. It was fertile ground for development, as Myers was among an emerging group of African American artists who would come to be known as some of the most important experimental composers and improvisers of their generation. Her versatility as a composer paralleled her versatility as a performer. A commitment to vocal works was nurtured in the early years of the AACM. It's been a career-long passion that has included notated and improvised solo and choral music, with a range of instrumental combinations. She has composed for orchestra, chamber ensembles and jazz orchestra. She has written musicals and plays, and also acted in the theater. In addition to being a master composer and improviser, Myers is also a valued interpreter. A short résumé of collaborators lending credence to her range and abilities includes Archie Shepp, Lester Bowie, Charlie Haden, James Blood Ulmer, Muhal Richard Abrams, Eddie Harris, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Jim Pepper and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. 
 
In 2017, Nameless Sound was honored to present Amina Claudine Myers' first Texas appearance since her teenage years in the church. Two distinct concerts offered two aspects of Myer's music: a concert for voice and piano, and a pipe organ recital.   
 
For this appearance, we will experience Myers accompanying her own singing on Hammond B3 Organ. Bearing a voice with the depths of her gospel and the blues roots, and accompanying herself with virtuosic technique, Myers has earned critical acclaim for her vocal performances since her landmark 1980 release Amina Claudine Myers Salutes Bessie Smith.
