I haven't yet seen Davis or Smith live. Very good. I have heard all of them on multiple occasions, but this was the first time hearing that quartet. I like the balance of Formanek's compositional skills and the strong individual soloists. Quote
kh1958 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 Peter Brotzmann and Heather Lee duo, last night. A modest sized venue, but it did sell out, and they were turning people away. Never saw that before for an avant garde jazz concert in Dallas. Quote

Pim Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 Mr. Benny Golson at the Bimhuis. It was just great. 90 yo and the guy s still going strong. Between the songs he told numerous funny anecdotes bout his time with Coltrane, Dizzy, Blakey and Morgan. A beautiful person! Quote
relyles Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Friday night I caught Matthew Shipp/Allen Lowe/Newman Taylor Baker/Kevin Ray at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT. Baker was subbing for one of my favorites Gerald Cleaver, and he was a more than capable replacement. I was curious about this ensemble for a while because unlike other bands Mr. Lowe is involved with, the music is totally improvised. Overall impressive performance. Afterward I even had the pleasure of giving Shipp and Baker a ride to the train station where they surprised me somewhat with their very enthusiastic response to a Woody Shaw CD playing in car.

OliverM Posted May 29, 2019 Report Posted May 29, 2019 Lots of interesting concerts above! Yesterday went to the very intriguing pairing of Richard Youngs, David Maranha and Chris Corsano. Also Kim Myhr and Christian Wallumrod as opening set. A very good evening. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Last night, it was Carl Allen, Cyrus Chestnut, Yasushi Nakamura & Vincent Herring at Scullers. Tonight, Scullers is bringing in Harold Mabern, John Webber & Joe Farnsworth. I got Harold to sign a great photo taken during his last trip to Boston: Edited June 3, 2019 by bresna Quote

kh1958 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) On Saturday night at the Heights Theater in Houston (a very nice venue), Vieux Farka Toure. The opening act was a young woman based in Austin named Jackie Venson. New to me, but she is a vocalist/guitarist in a hybrid soul/blues/rock style. I thought she was terrific. Next up, Vieux Farka Toure, who traveled for 30 hours from Mali to play two concerts, one in Austin and the other in Houston. This was a stripped down set, more in the style of his father Ali Farka Toure, than in his usual electric style. So it was just acoustic guitar and vocals, accompanied by bass guitar. Very beautiful music. Masterful guitar playing. Finally, towards the end, Vieux picked up his electric guitar and invited Jackie Venson to join him. He commented that they had played together the night before in Austin for the first time and the combination was magic. He was correct. Decidedly a concert worth a trip to Houston to hear.
