the new bopstop is a magnificent place for live jazz. been there?

Yeah, I've been to the old Bop Stop on W6th and the new one near W25th. I kind of like the old one because it had a pretty nice ambiance for jazz-the brick walls, being downtown and so forth, but the new location affords a larger audiance and the accoustics are an improvement.

you missed the original where the really great cats hung out and jammed after their gigs in the early 1990's. it's a wonder they didnt blow the roof off. there was room for about 35 people and no room for a piano. it was at w41st and superior or carnegie, i think. some incredible musicians passed through those humble doors. krivda played the joint several times, and lovano, too.

i took a couple dates there, and not being music majors they were not impressed.

Oh, didn't know there was an even earlier location than that :blush: That was around the time I moved to Cleveland.

you missed some awesome times and music. a couple of musicians, pianist chip stephens for one, mentioned those great sessions at that bopstop(same owners) in cd liner notes.

a much younger aloc has been know to drive 80 miles on successive days, after working 10 hours in a hot sweaty factory, getting off work at 11pm, to catch one set, and doing it on successive days. it was that good.

Ernie Krivda Jazz

Ernie Krivda Jazz will feature the original compositions of EK with the assistance of Dominick Farinacci on trumpet, Bob Fraser on guitar, Mike Murray on piano Kip Reed on bass, and Carmen Intorre on drums.

while missing his longtime master guitarist, bob fraser, who has serious health problems, krivda and his group performed a magnificent two sets, consisting of 7 selections.

1st set

A Morning Dance

The Jerry Turn (this was the All The Things You Are harmonic structure and it is in 3/4 time)

Nocturne

Blue Hokum

2nd Set

A Suburban Humoresqe

Beauty Passing

The Song Of The Moor

his playing has deepened in power and complexity so much over the years, and this group has worked together for most of a decade.

if you ever get a change to hear ernie krivda, jump on it. farinacci and krivda's ensemble blowing remind one of the power and precision of the blakey horns.

he has a couple items coming out in the fall on CIMP.
