Didn't even see ths topic down here before I posted on the general thread.

Here's what I got to see this past weekend in Detroit:

Bill Charlap & Renee Rosnes, Mack Avenue Records Suberband - with a very cool vibes/marimba duet between Gary Burton and Warren Wolf, JD Allen trio, Charles Lloyd with Bill Frisell, McCoy Tyner (with Savion Glover tapping along), Tony Monaco & Fareed Haque, 3 Baris (Gary Smulyan, Howard Johnson, Frank Basile) with Mike LeDonne, a Bill Frisell group playing John Lennon tunes, Warren Wolf quartet with Benny Green and Carl Allen, Dave Leibman and Richie Beirach (sublime), Danilo Perez & Geri Allen, James Carter playing Don Byas on Don Byas' old sax with an all-Detroit band, Karriem Riggins with Orrin Evans, The Cookers (David Weiss, Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, George Cables, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart, with Gary Bartz added - great stuff!), U of M jazz band with Lee Konitz, Quest reunion (Dave Leibman, Richie Beirach, Ron McClure, Billy Hart - exceptional and deeply absorbing), Terrell Stafford quintet, Lee Konitz quartet with Dan Tepfer, Ray Drummond, Matt Wilson (cantankerous, in a beautiful way), Marcus Belgrave with several Detroit-raised trumpeters, a Miles Davis tribute with Wallace Roney, Rick Margitza, Larry Coryell, Ralphe Armstrong and Alphonse Mouzon.

Of course, I also missed a lot too...
