Hardbopjazz Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) March 15, 2015 Charles Lloyd will play his first gig at the Vanguard in NY in 50 years. I am very excited to see him in a small venue. I'll be there for both sets. It is the Lloyd's birthday March 15, juxtaposed with the Vanguard's 80th anniversary this will be a one great night of jazz. Edited February 16, 2015 by Hardbopjazz Quote

There is a small chance I could make the late night set Friday (where Moran will be playing (and murdering ) Monk standards. Of course, there are other things I might do. We'll see how I feel when I get here. Quote
kh1958 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds good to me; wish I was going to be there. Quote

ejp626 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I was just joking around. I would probably go if I could. I do see there is a competing birthday gig across town (Roy Haynes at the Blue Note). It's tempting but the Friday evening tickets are a bit out of my range. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, Roy Hayes is playing the BN for a few nights, but the BN is charging a lot, $75 a set. Plus the club is crap, the worst in NYC. http://www.bluenote.net/newyork/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=12728 Quote
issho Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I just bought tickets to the 10:30 Charles Lloyd set at the Vanguard. I will also be seeing Tony Malaby's Paloma Recio at the Greenwich House the same night at 7:30, so I'm quite excited about this NYC trip. Quote
BFrank Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I have tix for Charles 4/25 at SFJAZZ - same quartet. He was opening act for the first jazz concert I ever saw, in the early 70s. The headliner was Freddie Hubbard's quintet. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Early '70s? Was that when Zitro was in the band? Quote
BFrank Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 I honestly don't remember who was in Charles' band. The date was 11/20/1971, so it could probably be looked up. Freddie had Junior Cook, Geo Cables, Alex Blake and Lenny White Quote
Guy Berger Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 I was actually thinking of going to the Temple of Dendur concert on April 18. Quote
