Victoria is close to Point Comfort, TX - the very small town that is the home to the largest Manufacturing plant of the company I work for. I visit ~ once a year. The idea and reality that Marilyn Crispell is playing in Victoria, TX is pretty mind boggling.

Dude, you work for ALCOA?

http://www.alcoa.com/locations/usa_point_comfort/en/info_page/home.asp

Aluminum has been a central part of my life for as long as I've had it, so I appreciate your product.

As for Victoria, it's an "oil money" town and has its "cultural" element that stems from that. I've played they symphony's debutante ball there more than once.

But that does not explain Marilyn Crispell performing there!

I'm tempted to go just to see who wins that one.

I work for Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. right across the street from the Alcoa plant. Not sure which plant is larger, but I think with all the expansions which continue, the Formosa plant is now one of the larger chemical operations in the country. The portion I'm associated with (PVC production) is large on a relative scale to other PVC plants but tiny relative to all the other various production plants within the enormous petrochemical complex.

ps - with Vinyl records making a relative comeback, I sometimes feel guilty I own no turntable or any vinyl recordsĀ

At over 300 miles from Dallas to Victoria, that probably exceeds my Marilyn Crispel driving range. Starting Ā from Austin, Houston or San Antonio to Victoria, I would probably go.

However, I may go see Charles Lloyd in San Antonio in February.

Ā 

Ā 

Concert will be free - larger venue so everyone should get a seat. Charles will be playing with the Marvels: Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz, Ruben Rogers and Eric Harland.

I attended with modest expectations, but this concert far exceeded them. A successful fusion of jazz and West African music, including three Senegalese musicians (two kora players and a percussionist) performing with five Dallas players--led by S-Ankh Rasa on woodwinds, and including Bernard Wright on keyboards.Ā

In Austin this coming Wednesday night:

The Legendary Ethnic Heritage Ensemble All Star 2016 Tour comes to Austin in March. Internationally acclaimed percussionist, composer, and band leader Kahil El’Zabar will premier a brand new Ethnic Heritage Ensemble featuring two masterful icons of the modern jazz idiom: Baritone sax giant, Hamiet Bluiett, and trombone titan, Craig Harris!
While these three giants have worked together in various collaborations for more than 40 years, they have never come together as Kahil’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble until now. The coming together of these three important players is indeed musical history in the making!
Craig Harris has worked with such luminaries as Sun Ra, Lena Horne, Dollar Brand, David Murray, Henry Threadgill and Lester Bowie.
Hamiet Bluiett has worked with the greats like Aretha Franklin, Fontella Bass, Charles Mingus, Sam Rivers, Max Roach, Andrew Cyrille and also founded the World Saxophone Quartet.
Kahil El’Zabar has worked with musical giants such as Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Eddie Harris, as well as founded the Ritual Trio and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble. There is so much history in music that lies between these pivotal players, who between the three, is a discography of more than 200 acclaimed recordings.
The new EHE is music endowed with an authentic pedigree that urges to push the boundaries of creative music into the soulful heart of fresh expression! After 43 plus years of eventful music making, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble is still reinventing itself while forging innovative pathways upon the African American musical pantheon. The coming together of these three historical and impactful figures at this particular juncture in history, will take us beyond the current trends of predictable mediocrity. Hamiet Bluiet, Craig Harris and Kahil El’Zabar are the real deal and are always ready to make real music!

This project is supported in part by individual contributors, Ruby's BBQ and the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department

Ā 

In Denton this coming Thursday night:

Pianist, composer, and educator Danilo Pérez is the 2016 artist in residence for The Glenn E. Gomez International Artists Endowment for Jazz Studies [http://www.daniloperez.com/] He will work with students in the Division of Jazz Studies from February 29 through March 3. On the evening of March 3, he will perform with the One O'Clock Lab Band and with his Panama 500 project at Winspear Hall at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at http://thempac.music.unt.edu/

Upcoming on April 2, at the Allen Public Library,Ā Abhisek Lahiri (Sarod) and Subrata Bhattacharya (tabla)

Ā 

Notwithstanding the traditional essence which is one of the predominant feature of Indian Classical Music, Abhisek Lahiri, one of the youngest President Award Winning A grade Sarod artist of Prasar Bharati and Doordarshan has blended hisĀ baajĀ by the norms of the venerableĀ raagdariwith the neoteric idiosyncrasy ofĀ chalan, taan, chordsĀ and by introducing unanticipated instantaneous notes and startling phrases. Though he was trained under his eminent father and guruĀ Pandit Alok LahiriĀ from a very tender age in the Guru Sishya Parampara, his approach of playing Sarod belongs to the three major gharanas of Sarod which are Shajahanpur, Senia Maihar and Senia Bangash (Gwalior). By embracing theĀ meedĀ and the tonal depth of the instrument Abhisek has entangled his AlaapĀ with the compelling trait ofĀ JodĀ which finally ends up followed by theĀ GatĀ which reflects this young maestro's unparallel alacrity with immense understanding ofĀ LayaĀ and it needs no mention that all these equitable attributes of his performance have won the hearts of thousands of audience across the globe.

Ā 

Abhisek started performing in public at an early age of 11 years though he got his first break in national level in 1997 when he was invited by Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia to play atĀ Saath Saath FestivalĀ in Mumbai and that year he also gave his debut performance abroad in the Netherlands at theĀ World Kinder FestivalĀ where he was named as anĀ Wonder Kid. That was just the commencement of an outstanding prodigy's lifelong commitment towards music which later laid to extensive concerts through Europe, U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Sri Lanka, Japan and Bangladesh, apart from India. He with his father Pandit Alok Lahiri possesses the dignity of performing as theĀ first IndiansĀ at theĀ Europe ParliamentĀ in France and in Cannes World Music Festival and also in Canada Culture Days in Toronto. Abhisek has created an amalgamation with the Japanese Guitarist Hideaki Tsuji and his collaboration Ionah which represents world music and has got worldwide recognition. Abhisek's music albumsĀ Sparkling SarodĀ got nomination at GIMA in 2010 and in 2014 again his albumĀ Mood of Puriya KalyanĀ got nominated in GIMA along with alongside the legends of Indian Music.
