BFrank Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 21 hours ago, kh1958 said: Well, we had one set in common (but I think one of the best at the Festival). I wanted to hear JD Allen with David Murray but it was too crowded for me. And picking Impressions of Pepper over the Liebman set was undoubtedly a mistake attributable to inertia. Bartz was a highlight for sure! I wanted to see Amina Claudine Myers, but it was at Bar Zinc so it got crossed off the list. Also wanted to see Kassa Overall Trio with Mark Shim, but after Allen/Murray I decided to call it a night. Interesting how the Saturday shows were much more crowded than Friday. Something I'll have to take into account if I go next year. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 Going to catch Atomic tonight at Hallwalls. Quote
Gheorghe Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 not tonight, and not tomorrow or next month, but I just got my ticket for april 28 to see the "Sun Ra Arkestra" under the direction of Marshall Allen. Saw the original Sun Ra Arkestra with Sun Ra himself in 1980. Quote

king ubu Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet tonight - quite excited, as good jazz concerts (i.e. not shows in classical halls that you can't really afford) by musicians from beyond the local scene seem to become more and more rare in Zurich these days ...

It'll be the same exact show you saw the last time, even the talk between the songs. Quote

And add to that that the festivals do the same, book the same guys (and happily some more gals) in similar constellations (oh, they were good last years, let's bring them back and replace X with Y this time 'round ... or let's add seasond veteran Z to young group ABC that needn't more than a sammich for pay ...) All the happier I am about the outstanding concert given by Akinmusire's quartet last night ... the first set was probably more than an hour already and quite a trip, the second even longer and full with quite moments this time, including a wonderful hommage to Roy Hargrove ... I love their live album from the Village Vanguard, and consider them to be an outstanding unit--how they can shift gears together, let things roll and then hop on again, change tempos and all that ... threy really have their act together, the material is challenging I guess, but also attractive, and while all four have their own voice, it's a band that is very much more than the sum of its parts.

kh1958 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Posted February 2, 2019 Last night, Joey DeFrancesco Trio at the University of Texas at Dallas Quote
relyles Posted February 3, 2019 Report Posted February 3, 2019 Earlier this afternoon, Sam Newsome Quartet with Cooper-Moore, Hilliard Greene and Reggie Nicholson at the Hartford Public Library. I have heard Newsome several times playing with Darius Jones, but this is my first time hearing him as a leader of his own group. Cooper-Moore was a bit of a surprise as Angelica Sanchez was previously advertised. Very creative approach and nice afternoon of music. Quote

It'll be the same exact show you saw the last time, even the talk between the songs. I've seen Benny Golson 5 times (3 quartets and 2 large groups) and it has never been the same exact show. He likes to tell the stories behind his classic tunes. How often do you get to hear a composer of Golson's caliber discuss his work? The man is a living legend and still sounds great. Seeing Golson perform his classics, newer material and standards is a must-see concert. It'd be foolish to skip it, in my opinion. Quote
