Pandit Subhen Chatterjee is one of best known tabla players of India today. Having learnt the art of tabla playing from tabla legend Pt.

Bhimsen Joshi, Pt.Jasraj, Vidushi Girija Devi, Vidushi Shobha Gurtu, Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Pt. Rajan and Sajan Mishra, Ustad Shahid Parvez & many others.

JSngry Posted August 2, 2019 Report Posted August 2, 2019 Outdoor! August! Houston! Will there be any Canadians in the band? But seriously, who's in the band/on the gig these days? Quote
kh1958 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Posted August 2, 2019 Yes, a good idea (booking the band) ruined by an epically bad idea. I actually have not seen the band since they played weekly at the Iridium, and they moved to Jazz Standard ten years ago. So I'm not up on the current band composition. Quote

kh1958 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, JSngry said: Who's driving the UTD bookings? I believe it is the Dean of the Arts School there; he is usually in attendance at the jazz concerts and appears to be a real fan, albeit with pretty conservative tastes. They also have an interesting program of classical concerts, and tickets are pretty cheap for a "senior citizen" which sadly they define as anyone age 55 or over.

BeBop Posted September 15, 2019 Report Posted September 15, 2019 Time for my annual trip to the United States. Historically - 33 years - it's been to the United Nations headquarters "near" New York City. So why am I posting here? This year, I'm going to...Richardson, TX (and later to Cincinnati). It's going to be a great change from Manhattan. Ahem. I won't have a car, though I'm near a light rail stop at Galatyn Park Station, and I will be loading the Lyft app to my mobile. The other little bummer is that I'm working Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Any suggestions for my annual chance to, like, hear live jazz? I poked around and found this place: https://www.sohofooddrinksandjazz.com/music-calendar ("Ron Jones brings you classic solo saxophone all night". Somehow, I'm not picturing five hours of "For Alto".) This place http://www.balconyclub.com/ seems to be dark during my days. This place https://kitchencafedallas.com/ looks nice, as a place, though I can't say the music offered during my days (pop vocals?) appeals much. And Dallas is pretty far. So, hey, if I'm SOL, I can live with that, but any suggestions appreciated. September 22nd - October 3rd (again, minus Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights). Thanks. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) The Balcony Club has Jonathan Fisher with guest Shelley Carrol on Sunday nights. I would say that is your best jazz selection in your time frame. The Kitchen Cafe is a very pleasant listening room. Good sound. The food is pretty good. I like the place. It is very vocals oriented--sometimes jazz and sometimes pop oriented. I'm not familiar with any of the artists currently scheduled there for the dates you mention. I've seen some good stuff there--Marvin Stamm, Pete Christlieb, Eddie Gomez Trio, Shelley Carrol, Quamon Fowler. But nothing like that is currently scheduled there. The other live music venue I go to in North Dallas is Six Springs Tavern-a dive bar/concert venue in a run down strip mall. No jazz there but occasionally some pretty good Dallas blues. E.J. Matthews is there September 27. Edited September 15, 2019 by kh1958 Quote
JSngry Posted September 15, 2019 Report Posted September 15, 2019 The Gumbo Kings are a good band in the "neo-New Orleans" bag. Last time I heard them, they were fun. But Shelley is the guy you don't want to miss if you can keep from it. That's the real deal right there. Quote
BeBop Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks for the tips. Is the Jonathan Fisher with guest Shelley Carrol a standing/regular Sunday gig? I ask just because the calendar for the Balcony Club ends September 19th, then picks up again mid-October. Maybe those are just the non-"standing" shows. Maybe in a couple of days, all will be revealed. Again, thanks. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Posted September 16, 2019 The Jonathan Fisher/Shelley Carrol Sunday night at the Balcony Club engagement is a standing/regular engagement. The calendar on their website is not functioning properly, it would appear. Quote
