Kind of a typical drum setup for Tyshawn. You don't have to have a Neil Peart setup to be great.

This show will go on as planned, but now as a Tribute The luminous spirit and singular artistry of the late Susan Alcorn will be honored in this special performance featuring members of her band – Mary Halvorson, Ryan Sawyer, yuniya edi kwon, and Lester St. Louis – and close musical collaborators at Big Ears.

This album was recorded and released during Covid. Much better than could be expected. Especially since they all recorded their parts remotely.

When do Mary and Tyshawn rest? They both seem to be everywhere all the time. Their schedules must be insane. Fortunately I've seen both several times.

Apparently there are lots of issues with the new App, but they say they're working to clean it up.

Definitely!

Finally!

Good schedule! I haven't started yet, but I see a lot of possibilities there.

Definitely make a plan and have backups in mind, even if it's rough. It will help if you get shut out of a venue. Also, logistics are very important. The big theaters (Bigou, Tennessee, Civic Auditorium) and some of the churches are clustered downtown. Most of the smaller venues (Standard, Mill & Mine, The Point) are in the uptown area. The town is very walkable, but the trek up and down Gay St (the main artery though town) can take 15 minutes or more to go from one end to the other. They have a shuttle, but it's not very efficient.

Yep. I remember when those came out. I'm not the biggest Darryl fan either, but it was such a surprise to see him hooked up with Fripp. I liked it at first, but it didn't hold up that well for me. I appreciate the effort, though!

Strata-East: The Legacy Begins An amazing 33 track compilation. Only available digitally, but almost 4 1/2 hours of music!

Good album. I picked up several Black Jazz reissues when Real Gone had some big sales in the last couple of years.

I always enjoy seeing Berne. He doesn't get to the West Coast often, but I try to see him whenever he's here. This photo from when he played in SF about a year ago with Belisle-Chi and Rainey.

I've listened to some of it - VERY impressive!

That's a GOOD one!

Saw Woody a few times. The first was with Dexter's band in '77 at the Keystone Korner. Always INTENSE!

Mine arrived, too 👍

That's why I've never seen it 😎
