relyles Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Peter Brötzmann/Jason Adasiewicz tonight at UMASS Amherst. I am somewhat ambivalent about the recorded Brötzmann I have heard to date, but I figured he is worth hearing live. Quote
bertrand Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Worth hearing, but bring earplugs. His philosophy is to play as LOUD AS POSSIBLE. Bertrand. Quote
relyles Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Worth hearing, but bring earplugs. His philosophy is to play as LOUD AS POSSIBLE. Bertrand. Loudness was not an issue. Yes, he is a very powerful player on all four reeds he plays. Last night, however, as one of the people I was with commented, he did allow some melodic content to emerge every so oftem. Probably enough to at least show some variety in his playing for me. In any event, nothing I heard resonated enough to turn me into a Brotzmann fan, but I am glad I made it to the show. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Saw WD-41 last night at Kenny Dorham's Back Yard. (Josh Tompson sat in on alto, always a pleasure). WD-41, who are Willie Oteri on guitar (left) and Dave Laczko on trumpet (right), are there every Thursday night this month. Quote
BillF Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Liam Byrne (tnr) and Jamie Brownfield (tpt) with the Gerry Tomlinson Trio at Whitefield this afternoon. http://www.jamiebrownfield.co.uk/#!home/mainPage Edited September 9, 2012 by BillF Quote
Pete C Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 In any event, nothing I heard resonated enough to turn me into a Brotzmann fan, but I am glad I made it to the show. I know the feeling. I've enjoyed his alto playing more than his tenor playing, but I'm no fan. If I want to hear someone blowing his brains out I'll stick with Pharoah Sanders at his most extreme.

Justin V Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 On Saturday, my wife and I made the drive to Pittsburgh to see Sonny Simmons with the Cosmosamatics. On Sunday, I made a solo drive to Delaware (Ohio, that is) to see the Brotzmann/Adasiewicz duo. Quote
BFrank Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Just got back from Scofield, Swallow, & Stewart at Yoshi's. Very enjoyable and the band was obviously having a good time. Check 'em out if they come your way. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Last night, closing night at Tucker's Blues in Deep Ellum, featuring the Lucky Peterson trio and various vocalists, before a packed house. Too bad, a rare venue in Dallas which had good sound, wasn't overloud, and was all about music comes to an end. Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Just got back from Scofield, Swallow, & Stewart at Yoshi's. Very enjoyable and the band was obviously having a good time. Check 'em out if they come your way. Well, they're not coming my way, but you convinced me anyway - I'm gonna check 'em out at the Blue Note in NYC on 6 Oct! Quote
BillF Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Paul Smith (tenor and arrangements) with the Swingshift Big Band at Southport this afternoon. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Baritone sax alert! Gary Smulyan is coming to Methuen, MA's Sahara Jazz Club. Should be a good time. He's bringing me an advance copy of his newest CD, The Ellington Saxophone Project. Kevin Quote
jlhoots Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Wilco (Nels Cline on guitar, of course). LOUD!!! Edited September 19, 2012 by jlhoots Quote
Shawn Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 Last night: Yob in downtown L.A., crushingly heavy experimental doom/drone band from Eugene Oregon. Great show, when i closed my eyes it was like being inside a giant lava lamp. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Not tonight, but I'm determined to get out to more live music after having heard so much wonderful stuff in the summer: Next Friday: Mike Walker (guitar) and Iain Dixon (sax) - two tremendous players who are hardly known in the UK let alone in the world jazz scene as they are based in't North. First saw them in the back room of a pub with a mid-sized Mike Gibbs band about 20 years back. Sheffield Jazz gig. Nov 17th: Egberto Gismonti/John Law Trio at the London Jazz Festival - really looking forward to that one. Haven't been to London for a good 6 or 7 years. Will use it to take in the Greenwich Maritime Museum as well - I'm keen to see the 18th/19thC paintings there. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Just came back from seeing the Rebirth Brass Band in a club. They had the audience (including me) dancing and screaming. That made me go put on the "Do Watcha Wanna" album, so funky. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Bev - do you know who is in the John Law Trio? I havn't heard his name much over the past many years and he remains one of the my favorite pianists. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Bev - do you know who is in the John Law Trio? I havn't heard his name much over the past many years and he remains one of the my favorite pianists. Says Asaf Sirkis (drums) and Youri Gouloubev (bass). Though I think things switch round. His recent records are very inside and contemplative. I missed him last year locally but recally a stunning performance in Bath some years back. Looking forward to hearing him again. He has quite a discography built up, given that he's a virtual unknown even in Britain: http://www.nday.co.uk/discography.html Quote

Hardbopjazz Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I did see the Pharaoh Sanders Quartet last night at Dizzy's. It was a great show. Even got to sit next to Wynton Marsalis who kept murmuring whenever he liked a phrase in one of the musicians' solos. Edited September 28, 2012 by Hardbopjazz Quote
aparxa Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Planning to hear Benny Golson with Alain Jean-Marie in a couple of days! Quote
