I already have a ticket for the SFJAZZ show. It's a very small venue, too ... should be great!

The tour has begun!

I think I'm going to the Newburgh NY show on 9/14. Only ~40 miles and a nice change from NYC:)

Remarkably, it appears that the tickets for the Baltimore date have yet to go on sale on the ADML website despite being barely a month out from the show.  Need to remind myself to check regularly.

Saw him tonight. Great show. I don't often get to see this kind of outside jazz very often, but it's always challenging and entertaining at the same time.

I see this sort of Jazz often but Berne's Snakeoil is unique. Ches is one of a kind and Berne's compositions are challenging. I just saw them 10 days ago. I brought a good friend who had never seen a jazz show, let alone a somewhat 'out' band like this. He loved it, bought the CD and is going to see them again on 12/1 in New Haven. He is also going with me to see Tony Malaby, Daniel Levin & RANDY PETERSON. If he loves THAT band, his life will change forever. 

Berne was also hilarious and did a 30 minute sit down talk/Q&A and he told some cool funny stories.

Yeah - I liked Berne's sense of humor!

I always lump Malaby and Berne together, actually. Not that they're the same, but ...

Yeah, I caught him too.  Great show.

He's got a great sense of humor but I was a little sad when I asked him why Ryan Ferreira wasn't with the group.  "I can't afford to take a quintet on the road.  I probably can't afford to take a quartet on the road."

I don't imagine that touring is very profitable for him, unfortunately.
