Fall in NYC

[Steve Reynolds]

what I'm looking forward to:

Here is the Cornelia Street Cafe show for 9/7:

Saturday, Sep 07 - 9:00PM & 10:30PM
CHRIS LIGHTCAP - BIGMOUTH
Chris Lightcap, bass; Chris Cheek, tenor sax; Tony Malaby, tenor sax; Matt Mitchell, piano; Gerald Cleaver, drums

For two nights Bigmouth will perform a new batch of music by Chris Lightcap, commissioned by Chamber Music America and premiered at the 2012 Earshot Jazz Festival. They will also play music from their acclaimed CD, "Deluxe" which was named one of the best CDs of 2010 by the New York Times, NPR, Jazz Times and the Village Voice.
"Righteous" ...NY Times "Superb"...Wall Street Journal

"****1/2"...Downbeat

then:

And I will try to make the Sunday night shows for this - if the weather is somewhat cool and not 80's and 90's outside - I am already making the Cornelia Street show on the 7th:

Also at The Stone:

9/7 & 9/8:

8 pm
Jones Jones
Vladimir Tarasov (percussion) Mark Dresser (bass) Larry Ochs (saxes)
Ochs and Tarasov met and recorded together when Rova first toured the former USSR in 1983. He was already a legend in the USSR as one of the players in the original Ganelin Trio, as important a band there for "avant-garde" listeners in the sixties and seventies as the Art Ensemble of Chicago was here. Dresser met him not long after that, and they performed together intermittently in ensuing years. This trio first performed in the Bay Area in 2008, with tours to Europe in 2009 and 2010. First East Coast performances.

10 pm
Ochs-Shelton Quartet
Aram Shelton (alto sax) Mark Dresser (bass) Kjell Nordesen (drums) Larry Ochs (saxes)
This is a West Coast quartet. Mark Dresser is the newest member simply because it's been hard to catch him in San Francisco when he's usually very busy down at UCSD in San Diego. A recording session and concerts by the quartet out here in July has the music focused! Great writing for the band by Shelton (especially) and Ochs. Kjell Nordesen was born in Sweden but has been a West Coast resident for close to a decade. He works with all 3 of the other players in this band in other contexts

Ochs-Shelton Quartet

Aram Shelton (alto sax) Mark Dresser (bass) Kjell Nordesen (drums) Larry Ochs (saxes)

This is a West Coast quartet. Mark Dresser is the newest member simply because it's been hard to catch him in San Francisco when he's usually very busy down at UCSD in San Diego. A recording session and concerts by the quartet out here in July has the music focused! Great writing for the band by Shelton (especially) and Ochs. Kjell Nordesen was born in Sweden but has been a West Coast resident for close to a decade. He works with all 3 of the other players in this band in other contexts

Will be keeping an eye out for a release of this recording... great band but i love what i've heard from Aram Shelton, in particular.

Nordesen is a great drummer. Check out the AALY trio recordings or Exploding Customer

You will die for those recordings, Xybert

I'll do my best to check it out... I did borrow 'I Wonder If I Was Screaming' from the library a while back and thought it was excellent, always meant to try and get that for my collection.

I know you're not the biggest clean feed fan but i really dug Nordesen's drumming on this one (also featuring Shelton)

[Steve Reynolds]

the first Exploding Customer disc on Ayler is the one to get - listen to the drummer's sound on this one and compare to his sound on the Clean Feed, Havn't heard that Clean Feed but he is explosive on this recording - sound like a show - and it is a show - can feel the sweat and the heat of this exciting band and rollocing drummer.

yes - I Wonder If I was Screaming is great and hard to find at a decent price

AALY's Hidden in the Stomach and Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe are even better

I might have to get this just for the sake of doing an A/B comparison and see where you are coming from with regards to clean feed sound quality once and for all! Cheers.

[Steve Reynolds]

another good comaparison would be the Clean Feed Trespass Trio (which is very good, btw) with Raymond Strid and compare it to the Raymond Strid on let's say Tarfala on Intakt.

totally different quality of sound

It'll be spring here in Brisbane & I'll be green with envy - what a feast
