Couldn't get any decent trombone players for the gig, eh?

Wish I could be there. Break a reed.

[AllenLowe]

thanks. currently am in a state of mild terror - got critics from the WSJ and the New Republic coming; also, several representatives of the Polish Navy band, as well as Newt Gingrich, Orly Taitz, and Pia Zadora.

as a matter of fact, Orly may sit in on vocals - here she does her rendition of Born Free:

and Spider Man may drop by:

we also may have Benito belt out a blues:

also, some special guests from the Tea Party Movement, which has formed a special orchestra, just for this event (yes, this is a crass appeal to the right wing jazz crowd: where are you, Berigan and Weizen?):

I'll be in town on Saturday, and try to make it there.

[AllenLowe]

hey Marcello, would love to meet you. I'll be the guy who looks like Brad Pitt's twin.

I mean the evil, drug-addicted, emotionally disturbed twin with the club foot and the lazy eye.

Allen-- note 'Bleeker' typo on flyer. No big deal but you don't wanna distract anyone from larger issues; people like to brag about their spelling (or grammar) when they know little else (never read "Bleak House" either) but... Bleak is the color of my true love's hair,

Have a great time Allen. You'll fly.

[AllenLowe]

thanks - by the way, I want to mention (though I'm not a disinterested observer) that Lewis Porter may well be the most interesting contemporary pianist that I've heard - mastery of every kind of harmony, inside and out. He's got a few new CDs that everyone should check out.

amazing musician who has always played great but who has, of late, reached a very special musical place.

see you Saturday:

[Hot Ptah]

I am placing a pre-order for the CD of this event.

[AllenLowe]

thanks - we'll do our best

[AllenLowe]

happy to see this in today's NY Times:

"Allen Lowe and the New Creole Orchestra (Saturday) Mr. Lowe, a

saxophonist, guitarist and historian with an offbeat but dead-serious

interest in American roots music, presides here over a program called

“Blues and the Empirical Truth: Every Other Day I Have the Blues.”

He’s in fine company, including the trumpeter Randy Sandke; the

trombonists Roswell Rudd and Ray Anderson; the saxophonists Darius

Jones; and the pianist Lewis Porter. At 10 p.m., 45 Bleecker, 45

Bleecker Street, at Lafayette Street, East Village ,

[Christiern]

Students $7? Should I change my $10 listing?

[AllenLowe]

I have no idea - though I think $10 is correct, not $7
