sidewinder Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) Two bands comprising members of London's 'F-IRE Collective' - 'Oriole' (led by flamenco-influenced guitarist Jonny Philips) and the Ingrid Laubrock Quintet, featuring the playings and compositions of this fine player. Both Ingrid and drummer Seb Rochford from the Quintet also featured as members of 'Oriole'. Both of these bands are absolutely unique in style and and their tour of the UK regions (Windsor Art Centre tonight, I believe). Some of the best live jazz currently being produced in the UK from these guys. The Laubrock Quintet is particularly well integrated, with Laubrock and cellist Ben Davis really gelling these days as a front-line team. Edited October 13, 2006 by sidewinder Quote

sal Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Saw the Stones Wednesday night at Soldier Field. The wind chill was down to about 20 degrees, and there were wind gusts up to 35mph, but that didn't matter. They opened with "You Got Me Rocking", and debuted "She Was Hot"! There was an excellent "Midnight Rambler" followed by "Tumbling Dice". Great show! Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 "She Was Hot" is 23 years old now. Was that really the first time it was played live?? Quote
sal Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 "She Was Hot" is 23 years old now. Was that really the first time it was played live?? According to the article in today's Chicago Tribune, it was the live debut of the song. Sounded great too. I'm surprised it was never in the repertoire before. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 shut up- jimmy cobb n george cables? i gotta try n go see that Quote
jlhoots Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 shut up- jimmy cobb n george cables? i gotta try n go see that Yeah - they were really good. Talked with them after the show. Javon & Jimmy signed their CD called New York Time (has Walton & McBride on it ) for me. They were selling it for $10. After the show was over, Cables sat down & played solo for about 30 minutes for a few of us. Quote
Matthew Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Friday, In Seattle: Set list from last night: Seattle, Washington Key Arena October 13, 2006 1. Maggie's Farm 2. She Belongs To Me 3. Lonesome Day Blues 4. Positively 4th Street 5. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) 6. Just Like A Woman 7. Highway 61 Revisited 8. When The Deal Goes Down 9. Tangled Up In Blue 10. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall 11. Watching The River Flow 12. Workingman's Blues #2 13. Summer Days (encore) 14. Thunder On The Mountain 15. Like A Rolling Stone 16. All Along The Watchtower The Bobster was in awesome form last night. I lucked out and got a third row seat that was looking straight on to Dylan. The boys came out in the now traditional gray suits with black hats, Dylan in black (of course), who played keyboard/harmoncia. Dylan very much into the show last night, moved around a lot, smiles galore among the musicians, even plaing up to the crowd at times! Very nice vibe to the whole evening. Highlights for me were When the Deal Goes Down, Tangled Up In Blue, Workingman's Blues #2, and Thunder On The Mountain. This was one of the better concerts I've been to in a while -- even the opening act Kings of Leon were very good. I think having the new cd go #1 was a big boost to Dylan, gave some added enthusiasm to his music... and yes, that kind of stuff matter very much to Dylan. Go and see Dylan when he comes around, he and the band are in great shape right now. Quote

Matthew Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Chewy, you should check out the review in the PI, the Unintentional Comedy factor is off the chart!!! Here's my favorite: Four decades into my Dylan obsession, I certainly didn't expect to hear any of my more obscure favorites, but in the middle of the concert, he swung into "Tangled Up in Blue," from the late 1970s.

Go and see Dylan when he comes around, he and the band are in great shape right now. I am seeing him at the end of the month. Every couple of days I go to Bob's Links to check out the set list. How were new songs? Did he try and keep them exactly like on the CD or did he change them up in anyway? Quote

How were new songs? Did he try and keep them exactly like on the CD or did he change them up in anyway? The new songs sounded much better live, had a harder edge that on the cd. Thunder On The Mountain, for sure, was way better live. By the time you see him, I wouldn't be surprised if the set had six tunes from Modern Times. You should be in store for a great concert, it seems as if the band is getting better each night. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Saw the James Carter Organ Trio at Birdland on Friday and the Don Friedman Quartet at The Kitano on Sat. Ira Glasser was at the next table (his son Dave was playing alto & soprano)......I think I only saw him & the wife nod off once. He was 'okay'....Don & Billy Drummond were great! Quote

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Missed you at Twins the other night Weiz. To busy packing to come have a wiezen with your ol' pal Johnny E? Naa, had a few kid matters to deal with and a houseguest from Europe who was leaving the next day and who wanted to do a couple of things before flying out. I'd already taken him to the 'O' show the week before so I was hesitant to drag him over there again. Next time I'll ditch him at the airport 24-hrs before his flight.

I'll tell ya though, we had more than a few board members salivating over the possibility of viewing a picture of me and you half shot in the ass, arm-in-arm, steins in hand (or one of us choking the other).

One can only hope. Though I will take less new songs if he still has Desolation Row in the set. I was a little nervous because the first set list of the tour didn't have much variety from the Summer ballpark tour, but the shows since have had more variety. Quote

Larry Kart Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Last night in Chicago at Elastic caught trumpeter Jamie Branch, tenor saxophonist Joe Sexton, and drummer-pianist Marc Riordan -- all former New England Conservatory students, Sexton and Riordan still based in Boston, Branch has been in Chicago for several years (her folks live in a northern suburb, she works at the Jazz Record Mart). Very impressive more or less "free" playing, no waste motion. Sexton is a bit older and more developed than Branch -- a review that talks about him is here: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18470 -- but Branch is really in tune with these guys; they make a group music. I was especially impressed by what happened on the one piece where Riordan switched to piano; Webern out of Feldman gestures that really cohered and were responsive to, and were responded to by, Sexton and Branch. A nice touch is that Elastic, before and between sets, plays all kinds of good stuff through their good sound system, but wisely only one artist/band per night, so you can really get into that thing if you're in the mood, and also wisely, not something that's in the style of the music you're about to hear "live." Last night it was Armstrong Hot Five/Hot Seven. Damn did it sound fine. Another night it was Von Freeman's Atlantic LP. Etc. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 a organ trio is playing tonight (9-12) for $5 paper says they are a jam band and soul / jazz Quote
Larry Kart Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry, that's Jaimie Branch, not Jamie. I spell fonetikly sumtimz. Quote
