Hardbopjazz Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Someone told me about this yesterday. Assuming Jackie makes it, I will be there. Bertrand. Yeah, I've tried to see him now 3 times, and he didn't make it all 3 times. I was told it is his health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete C Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 There's a side of me that says go, and a side of me that says don't go. Those '60s albums are, IMO, about as profound as this art form gets. But I haven't really enjoyed Jackie in recent years, and Moncur's chops are gone, from what I hear. I did see Moncur in a William Parker large ensemble a couple of years ago, but he played very little, so it was hard to judge. I think I'd rather see some guys in their prime tackle that amazing Moncur music. Well, Hutcherson is still in his prime... I wonder who'll be in the rhythm section? Ridley?

pepe Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 We (the organisation I'm involved in) had an offer for this group, but alas Brownie -we - at least - won't bring it to Europe - and the reasons are to be found in Pete C's post. I'm afraid I can't see how McLean could - or rather if he should - do a European tour with all the stress involved, having so much trouble meeting his gigs in the US. Moncur I heard live with 360 Degrees Experience way back, and I think I prefer to remember what he was like then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
