kh1958 Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 I'm not familiar with the Ghost Train Orchestra, but I note that their program at Big Ears will consist of compositions of Moondog. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Big Ears on Facebook: An exciting new wave of announcements is on the way—including new artist additions, expanded programs and features, and even a new venue or two. We’re also releasing the daily schedule and putting Single-Day Passes on sale earlier than usual to help everyone prepare for the upcoming David Byrne and Robert Plant on-sales. Stay tuned for updates! Quote
randyhersom Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 Zeena Parkins, Ned Rothenberg and Tomas Fujiwara are the jazziest of the new adds Quote

randyhersom Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 I shared the FOMO acronym with a fellow attendee this year and he suggested it should be GOMO. Not fear of missing out but guarantee of missing out. seeing Wild Up perform Julius Eastman's Femenine means missing Ches Smith with Mary Halvorson seeing Pat Metheny means missing William Hooker with Charles Burnham. seeing both means only seeing half of Tyshawn Sorey. Tim Berne or Masada? Marilyn Crispell, Petra Haden or Ned Rothenberg? Jeff Parker, Marc Ribot or Caroline Shaw? Mary Halvorson or Richard Thompson? Dave Dougles with James Brandon Lewis or Chicago Underground Duo? As usual, missed second choices would be a pretty good festival by themselves. Quote
kh1958 Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 I noticed that as well; of the acts on my list to see, there are lots that are scheduled simultaneously or overlapping. Quote

Some things I take into consideration: A lot of these artists are there nearly every year, so I might lower their priority. But it doesn't make missing them any less painful [Ches Smith, Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey, Zorn, Ribot, Caroline Shaw, James Brandon Lewis] And of course scheduling logistics can make a difference (Bijou to the Mill & Mine is a long trek) Quote
