New York City This Week

[BeBop]

I've checked the usual sources: gothamjazz, club websites, NY Jazz Report, the two free magazines (whatever they're called now - Jazz Inside? NYC Jazz Record)...

Anything cool I might miss? Concert by an Organissimo board member? Lecture or panel discussion? These sorts of things interest me a whole lot more than whatever's going on at Birdland or JALC.

I'm at the Village Vanguard this Monday with the big band. Wednesday and Thursday at Measure @Langham Place Hotel with a trio.

I hope you did check out the Vanguard Orchestra, they are wonderful. Seeing Michael Weiss is worth the admission.

Also Bill Charlap with his trio is at the Vanguard this week.

Couldn't make Monday at the Vanguard. Kind of a shame: I've seen many variations on the Monday shows over the decades.

Measure, at Langham Place, was new to me. Defintely a good time - not too stuffy or elegant for an old vagrant like me. And who'd have thought ol' BeBop would dig a Bud Powell festival presentation? Bouncin' with Bud, for sure. Thanks for the tip.
