mike casinghino Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Posted October 21, 2003 (edited) saw the dizzy gillespie alumni band saturday night. great show. a couple of changes to the band,benny green instead of billy childs on piano & add duke on percussion. the artist's collective also honored james moody with a plaque for his contributions to jazz. the first set was:salt peanuts,confirmation,moody's mood for love,fiesta mojo,and groovin' high. i can only remember night in tunisia,and con alma, from the second set. i'm not much at giving reviews,but it was an excellent show, one of the more memorable one's i've been to. great playing, alot of joking around, even jackie was scorching around quite a bit, and man, he was blowing lights out on the saxophone. and i can't believe james moody is going to be eighty soon, you would not know it by his playing, he's still a hot item on the tenor and flute, and he also had the crowd laughing with his joking and antics. i got lucky, being back in the line, and still sitting front row center, for one heck of a show. also just found out that the hartford jazz society will be bringing andrew hill in april, dave douglas in may,and an unnamed third show in june, to hartford, ct. looking forward to those!
