Amazing incredible 40 minute slab of genius. 5 feet from Tim & Peter.

Do you wear ear plugs?

Never! I’m going out in style! For whatever reason my ears are still good at 64.

plus I saw Ches Smith 4 times over a 10 day period recently. Once with Trey Spruance on electronics and it peaked at 108 decibels. I brought my little meter in with me that night. They had 2 extra amps on each side of The Stone. The quality of the sound is so great in the Glass Box Theatre (aka The Stone at The New School)

10/11 Cobra at Roulette. This can get very loud as well. Last year it sounded amazing from the front row as I was sitting right next to Zorn as he was conducting the large ensemble. 
 

Only live once. I’m blessed to be able to witness the many of the greatest  improvising musicians on the planet usually over 10 times a month.

Phillip Glass Ensemble playing early works at the Barbican, last night.

This was punchy stuff, amplified to almost Rock concert levels, no polite chamber recital this.  It's amazing to hear these works now and realise just how much music has borne their influence.

This Thursday night (10/3/2024) at the Regattabar in Cambridge, MA there's a show being billed as "Big Boston Baritone Benefit", with 4 baritone sax players putting on a show to raise money for baritone saxophonist Claire Daly's Go Fund Me to help her pay her medical bills stemming from her cancer treatments.

This should be fun for us bari fans. They'll have 4 bari players up there - Melanie Brooks, Alan Chase, Charlie Kohlhase & Kathy Olson - backed by a p/b/d rhythm section.

I saw Cobra a couple of times last year. Totally wild. And he always gets the broadly eclectic group to make the chaos work.

Plus it brought the best of the best out of Ches Smith. As great as he always is, what happened last Summer was peak Ches. Absolutely mind blowing intensity. Force of Nature.
 

seeing Weird of Mouth again tomorrow night in Philly with Ches, Mette & Taborn:)

Must be me, but "chaos" & music don't seem to fit together.
