bertrand Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Does anyone have any insider knowledge on Wayne Shorter's possible gigs in France this summer? imnworld.com only shows Marciac so far. I'm especially interested in Paris. Thanks, Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wayne Shorter will play several concerts here in early September when he appears at the Jazz A La Villette festival. Jazz A La Villette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASNL77 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 No other dates beside Marciac for Shorter in France so far... I saw Wayne Shorter play in Marciac a couple of years ago. Brilliant performance! Randy Weston was playing on the same night. I hope Wayne will be visiting the UK soon. Any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Brownie, Thanks. I saw that on Danilo's site a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, my summer vacation dates are dictated by my son's school schedule, so I have to be back in the U.S. on 8/25. This also means paying the highest plane fares. Yikes! they have skyrocketed. I am trying to book in the next few days for August; I plan to start a thread to get help looking for cheaper flights! Bertrand.

bertrand Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wayne will be in the U.K. on 8/5. Ckeck out imnworld.com. They are not as good at keeping this up to date as they used to be, hence this thread! Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks. Unfortunately it would probably be easier for me to fly to Wiesbaden than drive way up to Harrogate. Strange choice of venue ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Wiesbaden is a beautiful (and relatively wealthy) city! My high school graduation was held in the Kurhaus, actually. And I have seen a few classical performances in their large hall. I don't recall any jazz type performances when I lived in Wiesbaden, though. There's also a casino inside the Kurhaus - old fashioned European style, dress code enforced. Edited May 31, 2007 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ah - another Spa town, just like Harrogate. Looks nice. That's it. Wayne must be working his way through the health spas.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only you could be right! He would be surely coming to Bath.... Come on Wayne! Reopening the spa in Bath has been a very very long and expensive adventure but it is a great place. For the concert in Harrogate, I will be on holiday in Iceland. Maybe in the Blue Lagoon on that night! Another ..... spa!

sidewinder Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 If only you could be right! He would be surely coming to Bath.... Sadly, I think only the Pavillion would be big enough to house a Shorter gig. It was full to capacity last week for the Mingus Big Band. Poole Arts Centre is a another venue for previous memorable Shorter appearances. Wish he would come back there ! On the other hand I have relatives near Harrogate so they may get a call soon..
