BillF Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Barry's Bop Quintet (so called because the three hornmen met at a Barry Harris masterclass in Rome) at Malcolm Frazer's house last Sunday afternoon. Trumpeter Lewis R Taylor is aged 21 and guitarist Jack Kinsella 19 and both are students at Birmingham Conservatoire. So there's hope for the younger generation after all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJRvZz7Dbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice but even 5 years ago, you got about 50% talk, 50% music with Benny (and Lou Donaldson). Now it is about 25% music. Still definitely worth it to see one of the last giants (and these at least were new stories for me). He did play "Horizon Ahead" off a fairly recently album, and the rest were his standards - "Whisper Not" and "I Remember Clifford." They closed with Coltrane's Mr PC, taken at a fairly fast clip.

I had a couple of experiences like that when he was with Elvin Jones. Charles Tolliver sideman appearances were similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival is (again) looking good for this year. Sunday, Joshua Redman and Lou Donaldson will be worth missing work for. Louis Hayes on Saturday is another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 THE SUN RA ARKESTRA PLAYED THE ECLIPSE FESTIVAL IN ORGEON AND I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT.

kh1958 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yesterday at the Bedford Blues Festival I enjoyed: Larry Lampkin, Ally Venable Band, Nikki Hill, and Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. I wasn't previously familiar with Nikki Hill; it was hot in Bedford, but her band was hotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Berne still play with just socks on his feet, or has he graduated to clogs? I'm excited to be seeing Bill Charlap, peter and Kenny Washington this Saturday at the Vanguard. It's been 15 or more years since i heard him in a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get there early to get your preferred seating. I have been there twice and both times they had a nice turnout. I thought about taking that drive, but I am more likely to head up to Goshen, MA to catch Tom Rainey Trio tonight - if I go anywhere.

Enjoy that, Steve. He's over in London in November so hopefully he'll be nicely in the groove by then...I saw Moholo-Moholo's 4 Blokes at the weekend.
