Best live show of last year was this trio last March for 2 sets @ Cornelia Street Cafe Almost doom metal intensity. Quote

Key for me is to get a good seat for Mary's set and as close as possible for Herr Broetzmann. First time in over 10 years to see him with the great drummer. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. If I was going Saturday I would see Open Loose, Snakeoil and Tony's Taramindo Malaby turns 50 on Sunday and I wish I could see those three powerhouse bands back to back to back. But I'm sure to have a great experience tomorrow nonetheless Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 Ben Wendell quartet boring the shit out of me. Hope the hundred something stay here for Ches, Mat and Craig Minds to be blown Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 Getting worse All I can do not to get up and leave Maudlin covers of maudlin tunes I don't know what I'll do with rest of my life Horrid Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Reynolds, you're killing me.....there's a couple of large convention_like meetings & Winterfest going on at the same time and I'm not there! Couldn't pull this off for various reasons, but still lamenting over not being able to make it......SUCKS!! Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 Couldn't help myself Mat Maneri cured all my pain Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Posted January 11, 2014 There is nothing in this world like the sound of the great Peter Brotzmann Nothing And in that huge room that is Judson Church, I have never heard him sound like he did about 2 hours ago. From tenor to targato to clarinet and back to tenor. When he took an unaccompanied break 40 minutes in (10 minutes into the second and final 15 minute improvisation) the sound came from God if there is such a thing. Nothing like it in this world. Amazing night for me. Just as far as Drummers I saw last night: Ches Smith, the incredible Chris Corsano and my first time seeing or hearing the monster drummer Ryan Sawyer(both with Nate Wooley's mind blowing band), Gerald Cleaver and the great Hamid Drake.

Leeway Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Wendel was a drag. Other than that, what a great couple of days. In 2 days I got to see: Ches Smith Trio (w/Mat Maneri, Craig Taborn) Nate Wooley's Seven Storey Mountain Mary Halvorson Septet Peter Brotzmann with Hamid Drake & Jason Adasiewicz Darcy James Argue's Secret Society Ralph Alessi Baida Quartet Mark Helias Open Loose Henry Threadgill "Ensemble Double-Up" Tony Malaby's Tamarindo (double bass version with Helias and William Parker, and Nasheet Waits) Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog with Mary Halvorson Matt Ship Trio I would say that is pretty good weekend. I think the musicians were charged by the large crowds and positive atmosphere. Just a lot of great performances. For me, the most memorable performance was Nate Wooley's Seven Storey Mountain, so powerful, followed by Mr Brotzmann with Jason Adasiewicz (who has developed a really strong partnership with Brotzmann) and Hamid Drake. Happily tired. Quote
colinmce Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 That's good for a lifetime in my book. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Posted January 13, 2014 Agreed regarding Nate Wooley's Seven Storey Mountain Very intense and hard to describe For me I went only on Friday and the Broetzmann set was my highlight despite the greatness of the above and the wonderful set from Ches Smith, Mat Maneri and Craig Taborn. Mat was as brilliant as ever, yet the trio wasn't as over the top brilliant as they were last March. The drums and piano were not as intense as in the great downstairs room that is Cornelia Street Cafe. Plus I saw the first half of a set from Big Mouth where I heard the greatest Wurlitzer solo ever from Craig Taborn. Beyond fucking genius. The band was cooking and but after the long second tune I was off the hear what for me two days later will now always be referred to as The Sound of God via the tenor saxophone of the great Peter Broetzmann. I can still close my eyes and almost hear what I experienced in those amazing 45 minutes. Quote
