Larry Kart Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Garrick played very well -- a 90 minute program with no intermission. Two capriccios op 97, the Op. 118 pieces (favorites of mine), two ballades, variations and fugue on a theme of Handel, and maybe I'm forgetting something. All played from memory.

Quite a revelation to hear a large ensemble rip through Harriott's tricky themes, Nathaniel Facey took the lead on alto and was superb. Also praise to the bass player Hamish Moore and Rod Young who really held it all together and the incredibly young looking Peter Edwards on piano who I think arranged the tunes. Interesting guest appearance from a tap dancer, didn't catch her name, who did an amazing performance of Oleo with Facey and the rhythm section. Good to hear some live music and this really young band were inspirational and it would be a waste if they didn't record these arrangements. Anthony London That sounds like a good night. I have tickets for their "What's Going On" tribute in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Saw Branford come out and play a couple of songs with Dave Matthews (yeah, I know) which was totally unexpected. Show was this past Friday in Raleigh. Branford lives, at least part time, in Durham so I'm guessing Dave hit him up to come out and jam a bit. Sound wasn't good at all at the amphitheater, esp in the cheap seats. But he got a good reception from the crowd before, during and after playing.

Ken Dryden Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I saw my first live jazz in over a year plus on August 12 in Chattanooga. Pianist Keith Brown (Donald's son) led a trio with brother Kenneth on drums and a bassist from Knoxville (Cliff ?). A lot of the songs were on Keith's third Space Time CD African Ripples. Like his father, he's got plenty of chops and he is a strong composer. Edited August 15, 2021 by Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Had Madeleine Peyroux (and Joan Osborne) on tap for tonight in Philadelphia, but they rescheduled it for May 2022, just yesterday. Blah. On the brighter side I got to see King Crimson last week, my first show since the pandemic started. They were fantastic, as was the Zappa Band, who opened.

Anthony London Alas no (and not a ‘London type’) but I’m hoping that their deferred Swanage Fest slot is rescheduled for 2022. That should be a blast !

Mark13 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Not tonight but last Sunday I saw Bill Frisell play Vredenburg/Tivoli in Utrecht. That was somewhat of a coincidence. That morning I went through a stack of 2nd hand cd's that I had recently bought and decided to give his 'Disfarmer' its second spin. Listening to the music, still enjoying my morning coffee, I got curious what Bill was up to and when I checked online I found out he was scheduled to play in nearby Utrecht to end a brief European tour that evening. As there were still a few tickets available I jumped at the opportunity. I've been to several of his concerts over the past 30 years or so and my tastes have drifted in a slightly different direction but it took him and his band exactly 2 seconds to spellbind me. The interplay, dynamics, the seamless way in which one tune morphed into the next, it was absolutely breathtaking.

I watched a stream from there during lockdown, looks a lovely venue. He seems to regard it as his home venue. I have tickets for his London performance in a month, just need to resolve some health issues and I'll be there. Can't miss a visit from Charles 13 hours ago, adh1907 said: I suspect it is quite a task assembling a big band so I hope the Swanage festival thing comes off. Having now had my Booster jab I may risk the subterranean pit that is the 100 club. Anthony London I haven't had a booster, another 6 weeks, so I'm not risking it, sadly.
