Aggie87 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I like your ALERT better than mine, but here's a link to it just in case: My ALERT Quote
.:.impossible Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 This has been downgraded from an alert to a notification. As suspected, the ALERT have lost their effectiveness due to overuse. DC, MD, VA, NC bring it in. Quote
.:.impossible Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 As a reminder, FIGHT THE BIG BULL has an album available through Clean Feed Records. Link to Clean Feed website. They played at The Stone last year during Steven Bernstein's month as curator. They played with Ken Vandermark at The Hungry Brain last year as well. This time around, Steven Bernstein is making the trip down to Richmond. Following the live performances, he will be with the band all week for rehearsals and studio sessions resulting in their second full-length record. Quote

.:.impossible Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 The evening was a great success for all involved. Great music. Sold-out attentive audience. Fantastic. The first band, Glows In The Dark, recorded their set. A little short on bass, but here it is for those that are interested. Here is a link to their site, which includes mp3's of the set. Glows In The Dark RVAJAZZFEST Scott Burton (guitar, arrangements) John Lilley (saxophones) Reggie Pace (trombone) Cameron Ralston (bass) Scott Clark (drums) Grab 'em all! Let me know what y'all think... Quote
.:.impossible Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 p.s. By all accounts, the Fight the Big Bull/Steven Bernstein sets were incredible. I was there for Friday and Saturday nights, and they played again on Wednesday night after many long days in rehearsal and recordings. I'll keep the board posted with a release date from Clean Feed.

.:.impossible Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 and Boots of Leather... wow. A powerful trio, to be sure. Possibly the highlight of the evening for me, never having heard them live before. Brian Jones is a force. You can check out more of Brian Jones' work at Slang Sanctuary. I personally own and can recommend Blue Book, duets between Brian Jones and JC Kuhl, and M.A.P. Trio, JC Kuhl, Cameron Ralston, Brian Jones. Quote
.:.impossible Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Many of you may find this music to your liking. I know you've never heard these names before, which is all the more reason to lend am ear. Note, this is not hard-bop derived jazz music. Edited February 28, 2009 by .:.impossible Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 No one wants to give this a listen? Quote
