It's always a struggle!
I have several of those shows on my list too, but I also included the conflicts. I tend to make many of those decisions on the fly ... depending on my mood and logistics.
Since it's impossible to see all the shows you want to see, I comfortable with whatever I see.
Roscoe and Tyshawn is a must-see, though!
I saw Parker's Expansion Trio in Chicago at the Sound & Gravity Festival last September. Definitely worth seeing.
He has a second album, but I think that's about it. Also very good! But otherwise he's a role player for other musicians. I can see that he would be happy to be recognized.
They mentioned it in last week's newsletter: "We are deeply disappointed to announce that both Adrian Sherwood and Chucho Valdés have had to cancel their planned performances at Big Ears, due to circumstances beyond their control."
