Van Basten II Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 http://www.casadelpopolo.com/suoni/about.htm Probably one of my favourite events in Montreal, for cheap prices you got a devoted audience and great musicians that we would not have the chance to see without the people running this festival. Hamid Drake, William Parker, Joelle Léandre, Marc Ribot and many others Quote
porcy62 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 As you probably know Casa del Popolo (house of people) was the name of the branches of the former Italian Communist Party. I am not suprised about the cheap prices. Music to the people Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Posted June 10, 2007 Attended a few gigs, among them, Marc Ribot solo, that was suprisingly straight ahead stuff, no crazy suff with balloons or a fan. Rob Brown Quartet feat. William Parker, Gerald Cleaver, & Craig Taborn, Taborn was very impressive either as playing behind the leader or in his soloing. An extraordinary, duo with William Parker and Hamid Drake, Drake has to be one of the more impressive drummers in the business, and Parker at one point had such a funky groovy bass line that i almost got up and started dancing Bindu feat. Hamid Drake, Daniel Carter, Ernest Dawkins, Sabir Mateen, & Greg Ward, great blowing session by these beautiful sax players led by once againn by the amazing drummer that is Hamid Drake Quote
