Deliberately or not, 2015 has been filled with some excellent shows for me, but a few less than usual compared to the last 5 or 6 years - glorious, wonderful years for me - musical or otherwise. Not that I've attained any big job or whatever / just that life's cool and I love my sports teams - but I love live shows as much as anything in life. So in the next few weeks, three real special shows followed by at least two around Thanksgiving that are "can't miss no matter what" and I'll be at all five of these plus another one or two if I can swing it. 10/18: Tony Malaby's Apparitions @ Cornelia Street Cafe 8:30 Tony on saxophones with Ben Gerstein on trombone, Michael Formanek on bass, Billy Mintz on drums PLUS RANDY PETERSON also on drums 10/24: 8:00 Nate Wooley with Joe Morris, Zeena Parkins & Paul Lytton then @10:00 - Wooley & Lytton with Ben Vida & C. Spencer Yeh - both part of Wooley's week at The Stone 11/7 @ The Village Vanguard 8:30: John Zorn, Bill Laswell & Milford Graves 10:30: Mark Ribot, Trevor Dunn & Tyshawn Sorey 11/24 @ 10:00 @ The Stone: DRAGONFLY BREATH Paul Flaherty, Steve Swell, C. Spencer Yeh & Weasel Walter 11/29: 8:00 & 10:00 @ The Stone: Frode Gjerstad Trio + Steve Swell featuring Paul Nilssen-Love would love to add a night @ Amplify 2015 or a night with Leimgruber-Demuirre-Phillips but that's a nice problem to have
