bill charlap blue note 7 tribute tour


Recommended Posts

Some Blue Note specials going on at Amazon.com.

They are offering a 2-disc edition of the new one by the Blue Note 7. First disc is regular edition, 2nd disc is a compilation of the tracks from the 1st disc by the original artist (taken from the RVG collection). Right now the 2-disc edition is cheaper than the standard.

Second disc will shame the first.

As far as I can remember, this was what they played. A few things might be out of order. So one Lee tune, they better play some Hank tunes! I bet they will as Charlap is a Hank fan.

I caught the show in Norman, OK on March 18th. Here's the set list:

The Outlaw

Party Time

Soy Califa

United

Idle Moments

Inner Urge

Encore: Mosaic

The performance was great. All the band members seemed very engaged.

I met and spoke with Ravi Coltrane before and after the show. He hung out with fans and was very pleasant. None of the other band members came out as far as I could see.

Second set, last night at the Kennedy Center (DC):

The Outlaw

Song for My Father

Criss Cross

Idle Moments

Mosaic

encore: Party Time

I may be forgetting one title. I was especially impressed by the rhythm section (Charlap, Washington, Bernstein, Nash), and a tad underwhelmed by Nick Payton. Steve Wilson and Ravi Coltrane were solid. Sold out night (both sets) in the smallish Terrace Theater (maybe 500-600 capacity?), mostly old folks, no school groups. Very appreciative crowd.

I always thought Charlap was a lot taller than he is--must be the camera angle (or that the BlueNote 7 includes several even taller guys). And I did not know BC was married to Rene Rosnes.
