He also seems to be playing again at the Jazz Bakery on June 10 with a completely different line-up. http://www.jazzbakery.org/Calendar.html 6/10 8 & 9:30 PM $20 HENRY GRIMES JOHN WOOD GREG DAHL ERIC STECK

I think David got it. It might not be in print, but the Harvard library should have a copy, at the very least.

Great. I just spent about $20 to get the Soul Jazz issue. Sigh.

For those of you in Southern California (I'm on the board of Newtown and so am one of the organizers of this event): NewTown Presents Sonic Gallery 3 Date: Saturday, April 5, 2003 Time: 8:00 PM (doors open 7:45) Where: The Forum at All Saints Church, 132 N. Euclid, Pasadena (See directions below) Tickets: $12.00 general admission, $8.00 NewTown members & students Contact: Richard Amromin - (626)398-9278 - akamromin@earthlink.net Featuring Eric Barber, Saxophones Ellen Burr, Flutes Alex Cline, Percussion Vinny Golia, Woodwinds Arthur Jarvinen, Assorted Instruments Steuart Liebig, Bass Guitar Tom Recchion, Electronics and Devices Mark Trayle, Electronics G.E. Stinson, Electric Guitar Jack Vees, Electric Bass and Guitars Plus live video by Nancy Hotaling Sonic Gallery 3 showcases outstanding electronic, woodwind and acoustic improvisers for an evening of simultaneous performances. The audience, free to roam from artist to artist, will create their own personal "re-mix" through their proximity to chosen performers or choose to take in the event from comfortable seating in one the regions more interesting presenting spaces. The Sonic Gallery ensemble was carefully chosen to include artists synthesizing individual virtuosity, unique instrumental voices and dedication to interactive music-making at the highest level. More than another "group jam", a time-based structure will create an evening-long composition allowing each artist featured time within a continuously evolving group sound. The ensemble is divided into 4 four mini-ensembles and a solo unit: Woodwinds with Vinny Golia, Eric Barber and Ellen Burr; a duo ofG.E. Stinson and Steuart Liebig; An eclectic duo of Jack Vees and Arthur Jarvinen; an electronic duo of Tom Recchion and Mark Trayle; and Alex Cline solo percussion. To All Saints Church From Los Angeles: Take the Pasadena Freeway to its end at Arroyo Parkway. Take Arroyo Parkway north to Colorado. Turn right on Colorado. Go about three blocks to Euclid and turn left. From The Valleys: Take the 210 Freeway to Lake Avenue exit. Go south on Lake to Walnut and turn right. Take Walnut to Euclid (one block past Los Robles) and turn left. All Saints Parking is available both in the lot directly north of the church or on the street. NewTown is supported by grants from The California Arts Council, The County of Los Angeles Arts Commission, The National Endowment for the Arts, California Community Foundation and The Pasadena Art Alliance and NewTown's many individual donors and members.

I went on Saturday. Copying my post from the AAJ board: Yes I did - to the second set on Saturday. Got there just slightly too late for the first set. Has this happened to you? The World Stage seats something like 40, and that's a tight fit. I had a date with me, and two friends already inside. But when we two got to the door, they had only one ticket left! So I bought two for the second set and we went down the street for coffee. Anyway, the second set was sold out as well. We sat in the second row. There were seven people crammed onto the small stage: Grimes - bass Nick Rosen on a second bass. The 17-year old discussed above. Dan Clucas - tpt Alex Cline - drums Nels Cline - guitar Chris Heenan - Alto sax & bass clarinet But no Charles Owen. Some other youngter also playing alto sax. Don't have the name with me, but he was only 16, and worth watching. Grimes didn't say a word. Nick Rosen did the intros, and he seems to have gotten it together. Two untitled numbers of free jazz, each about 30 minutes. Both quite good (although my date didn't quite get into it). The first number, IMHO, went on too long. Some second solos to people who weren't quite up for it. Maybe the songs had titles and were from somewhere, but I don't know the sources, and no titles were called. Grimes himself played without pause for the full 60 minutes, dripping sweat, sounding great, listening intensely, playng some walking lines. But he really did not solo! I guess he doesn't feel up to it yet, as everyone else soloed. Also, he looked down at the bass the whole time, as though he weren't fully confident about his fingering yet. But everything he played sounded good to me. The best moment for me from the two pieces was the end of the second piece, which was a lovely duet between Nels and Henry. I dreaded the possibility that everyone was going to come back in again, but they didn't. Oh, and Mike, thank you for posting that article about Waldron.

Hey, the "v" and the "b" are next to each other on the keyboard. Could be a typo, and proofreading ain't exactly the strong suit at AMG.

Waldro had a stroke, I believe, in the 1960s, and relearned. Man, I'm gonna go this weekend to see Grimes with the Clines.

I remember it being Got a Good Thing Goin as the Rare Groove next month.

May I suggest the addition of a forum like Jazz in Print - Books, Mags, Photos? Also, I would call it Live Shows & Festivals. Finally, I still like the idea of a Record Reviews forum. But who knows? Thank you.
