Benny Golson in Philly on 2/26

[Chalupa]

So did anyone else make it down to the Bride on Saturday night to catch Steve Bernstein??? I only caught the late show but it was sweet. What a frickin' lineup - SB on trumpet, backed by Uri Caine, the Sam Rivers Trio, Marty Erhlich, and Vincent Chancey on French horn!!

I just missed you -- I was at the early show. Nice show. Great to hear Rivers!

I saw Benny a couple years ago in Carmel, CA, and echo the sentiments about his performances being long & very entertaining (including the stories). The show I was at included a presentation to Golson of some kind of Congressional award/honor. Clifford Brown's widow and son were in the audience & got up to speak briefly.

What do you folks think about his "Terminal 1" CD? I was a little disappointed in my first listen.

I just got done with a weekend-long Dixieland jazz festival in Monterey. There was some damn good music there--too bad most of the jazz community under 60 years of age doesn't seem to support these kinds of events.
