New York live.

Thanks for your reviews guys! Anyone going to see them tonight, like me?

Anyway, they were amazing.  Three musicians that are totally at the peak of their respective instruments.  Lovano gave one of the best tenor performances I've seen -- overflowing with ideas, never a dull moment.

Damn straight.

It deserves the "State of the Tenor" treatment or what?

Someone[bN] should record their next tenure for a multi-cd set.

Plus the bonus dvd.

Bruce Lundvall was there for the second set, so you never know. I forgot to bitch him out about the BNBB. B)

I saw them last Friday and it was a superb set except for the opening number, where Frisell seemed to be having trouble with his electronic devices. By the way, the amount of electronica that Frisell used did not seem to be less than what I have seen him use over many years (that is: he doesn't alter his tone, but rather is able to regenerate previously played passages and then play over them).

The amount of telepathy between these guys is scary. Lovano plays the whole gig with no mike and fills up the entire room over a drum kit and amplified guitar. Has there ever been a more sensitive drummer behind a soloist than Paul Motian?

One interesting tidbit, as I was waiting to go in, Roy Haynes was standing on the sidewalk by himself eating a slice of pizza. I wondered if he was going to the gig, but I didn't see him inside.
