Dan Gould Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 https://www.patreon.com/bluenotenyc Blue Note Jazz Clubs are currently closed as a result of Covid-19 and in keeping with the local, state and federal mandates. We’ve been spending our time sorting through our archives & we are excited to share these historic moments in jazz at the Blue Note. Experience our favorite memories from concert performances, photos, interviews & more! New content will be added daily and the archive will remain open for a short period of time. Proceeds generated will help sustain Blue Note New York while we are closed. Your support will ensure that we will reopen and continue to present the biggest names in jazz! $10 a month, for at least daily postings of archived concerts. Four months only. The page has Ray Brown with Stanley Turrentine available in full right now and you can see the other concerts posted so far. Pretty cool but if I sign up they better deliver at least a Ray Brown Trio with Gene or Gene Harris Quartet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Well I jumped on this, the Clark Terry w Wess and Heath is just one tune but Jon Hendricks, Max Roach and Elvin are each full sets, 1 hour or a little longer. The Elvin band is Carlos McKinney, Cecil McBee, Robin Eubanks and Sonny Fortune. Not sure on Max - two trumpets, a trombone and a tuba? And by joining, I get to message the Blue Note so I've already put in my plea for a Gene Harris. or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Any idea what year the Jon Hendricks is from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Dan beat me to posting about this. I've seen Roy Haynes several times at the Blue Note and had plans to see him last month. I hope that the club survives and that Roy plays there again. Man, that Ray Brown show is smokin'. Geoff Keezer, Karriem Riggins and Stanley Turrentine?!?! That was worth my $10 right there. This is a pretty exciting project. I'll be listening to Elvin next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't say but I posted the question to them I am sure we'll get an answer soon. And - great news for the former GHF - I got a reply that they have at least one Gene Harris set in audio, which awaits delivery of a DAT to transfer and he promises to upload. He says the videos weren't organized that well when they started this project. But Gene was popular with them so he's going to keep looking.

It's a shame that they haven't released more recordings on their (defunct or dormant) Half Note imprint or elsewhere. Maybe Zev Feldman could make it happen.

I saw one of his shows at the BN a couple of years before that. Part of a great double-bill with JJ Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I took a page out of Dan's GHF and messaged them to request some Roy Haynes. They said they'd find some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 They have been posting some great stuff. I'm listening to a Roy Hargrove sextet with Larry Willis now. They posted Von Freeman's 75th birthday gig today, which was a surprising one. I'll be checking that out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) 75 minutes or so of Sonny at the BB King club just went up. What other things they have from BB's to share? This weekend we are going to post a few of the Legendary musicians who we had the pleasure of presenting at B.B. King's.

The first time I saw Sonny, it was the same band except with guitar (Bobby Broom) instead of piano and Willie Jones III on drums. Kamati Dinizulu sadly passed away a few years ago.

Dan Gould Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 It was B.B. at his own club on Saturday, the Neville Brothers yesterday. Today back to the Blue Note for what looks like a nice concert: Happy Birthday Ron Carter!! Today Ron Carter is 83 years old. In honor of his birthday we are positing the Ron Carter Quintet performance from August 5th, 1999. Ron Carter, bass Houston Person, Sax Stephen Scott - piano Payton Crossley - drums Steve Kroon - percussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I believe I may have been at this show. I recall seeing the two at the Blue Note in the late 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Every time I get the email notification, if the concert interests me I am going to verify if its a full set or just a song or two. I do hope and expect full shows though they haven't done that every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Plus, the quality isn't all that great. Very grainy. The Sonny Rollins concert from B.B. King's has a lot of frames freezing. I though it was my internet, but I watched it additional times with the same issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I'm listening to the show they posted today, which is the Russell Malone Quartet with Robert Glasper(!), Richie Goods and Byron Landham. I never knew that Glasper worked with Malone. Goods is also on yesterday's concert by the Mark Whitfield Quartet (w/ Peter Delano and Donald Edwards).

Justin V Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Can someone skip to 30:20 of the Ray Berretto set and decipher who the bassist is? It sounds like Andy Guila but I can't find any bassist by that name. The other members of the group are Adam Kolker, John Bailey, John Di Martino and Vince Cherico. It is a nice set. I wish that I could have caught Barretto in person. Edited June 30, 2020 by Justin V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Is anyone still paying for this total bullshit? I just realized its nearly a week since the last post. And looking back, its July 28 and there are 14 days in July without anything new 50% assuming nothing shows up today. I am ready to dispute all charges with Amex for failure to perform to their contractual obligation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye on their future posts and I'll renew next month if they post some things I must hear. I've heard enough each month to make it easily worth my $10, but I am disappointed that they have dropped the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
