Just got back. great concert 2 great sets tonight in NYC. My friend and I were 10 feet from Tom Rainey. Will see him again twice next week. I can never get enough of the *great* Tom Rainey. Peaking madly. Next Thursday with Tim Berne’s group then Saturday 2/17 with Open Loose (Helias & Malaby) with Berne as a guest. Quote

The finale was a large ensemble playing with Longberg-Holm's lightbox conduction Front line was Evan Parker, Joe McPhee, Zoh Amba, Ken Vandermark and Mats Gustafsson. I saw the Chicago Tentet at Oto ten years ago, this was up there with it as a listening experience The whole evening was very, very special. It started with McPhee/Adasiewicsz duet where Joe recited poetry rather than play sax. Unexpected but very special Edited February 11 by mjazzg Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 (edited) Thank you Sir SO glad you were able to experience this what a “front line” Edited February 11 by Steve Reynolds Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 (edited) Tomas Fujiwara with Henry Fraser & Mary Halvorson at The Stone at The New School tomorrow night Tim Berne with Gregg Belisle-Chi, Trevor Dunn & Tom Rainey at Lowlands Saturday night Open Loose with Mark Helias, Tony Malaby & Tom Rainey with Tim Berne guesting at Barbes Edited February 14 by Steve Reynolds Quote
T.D. Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Excuse OT post, but as a long-ago resident of Downtown Brooklyn (left early 1990), I'm amazed by how the improv / free / avant-garde scene has thrived in that general area (esp the 3d Ave. corridor from Gowanus to the Roulette site). Quote

Genius level performance. Maybe the best I’ve ever heard Mary play. Stunning. Invention and true on the spot compositional improvisation. Very impressed with Henry Fraser. First time hearing him. Very strong more than holding his own in elite company. Tomas has it all and yet his typical restraint was combined with the most explosive playing I’ve ever heard from him.

Saw Johnathan Blake on Sunday w/Dayna Stephens, Dezron Douglas, Jalen Baker and Fabian Almazan. It was one long suite he calls "My Life Matters". Good show - lots of interesting passages Edited February 15 by BFrank Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 A bit in advance, but I bought tickets to see George Coleman play with One For All at Smoke in March. It's Coleman's 89th birthday celebration and since I'm pretty much retired at this point, I can finally do stuff like this. I haven't been to New York City since 1999 so it'll be interesting to see what's changed. I'm actually looking forward to it. I might even fit in a trip the Jazz Record Center or Academy. I'm thinking about seeing Maria Schneider's orchestra at Birdland another night & probably Jerome Sabbagh or Steve Slagle at Smalls, a club I have yet to go to since they moved. Quote

The entire show was excellent & his 2 songs were very good. BTW, show was sold out (approx. 850 seats). Quote

His productions have a certain quiet edge to them that are always interesting. Especially with his wife, Rosanne and also Shawn Colvin and the album he did with Sarah Jarosz. Quote
kh1958 Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 Some Texas blues tonight, with Larry Lampkin at the Allen Public Library. Quote
felser Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 Saw the Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble doing a Black History Month Motown-inspired show at the Upper Merion Community Center, free and about 1/2 mile from my house 🙂. Excellent show, Warren Oree is quite a bassist, and Sherry Butler is a very strong vocalist. Now if I could just track down their 1987 'Le-Le' album! Quote

Has Le-Le been in CD, it did just get an LP reissue recently Quote

tranemonk Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 On a whim, I went to see Bill Frissell's Trio in Cambridge last night. Gregory Tardy (on sax, flute and I think bass clarinet) and Rudy Royston on drums. I had low expectations as I'm generally not a Frissell fan but the band blew me away. Tardy in particular was incredible. That band understands space and not playing over each other but with one another. It was really great. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Lots of shows the past 2 weeks! Highlights Tony Malaby 2 great sets on 2 different Saturday nights at Barbes Tim Berne with his trio with Rainey augmented by the *great* Oscar Noriega on b-flat clarinet Rubin Kodheli on cello with Mary, Trevor Dunn & Brian Chase Matt Nelson solo soprano saxophone, Michael Foster duo with Webb Crawford & a great trio with James Paul Nadian and two young musicians on altered electric guitar & electric bass tonight at Jazz Gallery 7 Poets Trio with Tomas Fujiwara, Tomeka Reid & Patricia Brennan double bill with Tomeka’s quartet with Mary, Jason & Tomas Quote
BFrank Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Saw Sarah Jarosz and her band last night. Outstanding! I'm not usually a singer/songwriter fan, but she's a little different and is somewhat uncategorizable as far as genre. Covers a lot of ground. Great band, too! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 29 Report Posted February 29 She's a sweet gal from near Austin, I've been hearing her from the start. Quite a talent! Quote
