JSngry Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 Definitely. I'm not one to go to Houston for anything other than to make some money on a society gig, but... Quote
JSngry Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 Just when you think you're out... Quote
mjzee Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Just came back from the Trio 3 concert. Nice! Audience of around 250. Good acoustics, esp. after they brought Workman's bass up in the mix. Lake has a fat, powerful tone. Cyrille was just wonderful - he was everywhere, but didn't overpower. They played 2 sets. Quote
mjzee Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) I've uploaded the photos I took of the show to Photobucket. These were shot with the highest zoom setting, so many shots are somewhat blurry, but I hope the spirit of the evening comes through.

street singer Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) This sounds good; working myself up to willingly go to Houston is a bit of a hard sell though. This coming from someone who lives in Dallas?! Guys... Houston's not so bad. Really. Really!!! (why are you all looking at me like that...?) Edited February 17, 2013 by street singer Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Posted February 18, 2013 If you gotta ask, you already know. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Ann and I are seriously considering a road trip to attend the festivities. Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Posted February 18, 2013 Seriously, I really don't like the way people drive in Houston, and the humidity is ridiculous (and this coming from someone who lives in Dallas). Other than that, hey, home is home, and not home is not home. That, and every time I go down there, it seems like there's always some kind of tenseness going on. I was in a convenience store just a few years ago where there was a "classic" Asian storeowner/AfricanAmerican customer showdown that resulted in all customers being booted out of the store and the place locked up and darked out, all in the space of about 15 minutes. The whole thing was surreal, b/c the storeowner was dumb, the customer just as dumb, and nobody I was with got their soda pops and bags o'chips. Always seems like there's stupid going on. Always. Not that Dallas-area is any better, but it being home, I know where to go to not get it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 We have hotel rooms for the week and tickets for the final concert. Will I meet any other board members? Quote
CraigP Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 We have hotel rooms for the week and tickets for the final concert. Will I meet any other board members? I'm talking with my wife about going down for the final concert as well. She's not a big fan of "freaky jazz", as she calls it, but she's a gamer. Hopefully we'll meet at the show. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Ann is a mother, grandmother, potter, knitter, fiber artist and photographer. Maybe our wives can find common interests beyond us. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) It is the duo concert with Alvin Fielder that sealed the deal for me. My first day in a recording studio involved both of them. edit to add the final concert by the quartet is the same grouping as our recording "Snurdy McGurdy and Her Dancin' Shoes", with the omission of A. Spencer Barefield. Edited March 7, 2013 by Chuck Nessa Quote
colinmce Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Sounds great. Houston isn't so far away, but with a two year-old and a job that affords no time off, neither travel nor concerts are options. Enjoy. Quote
CraigP Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 How do you purchase tickets if you're not in Houston? I've called and emailed them, but have gotten no response. Quote
JSngry Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 How do you purchase tickets if you're not in Houston? I've called and emailed them, but have gotten no response. The Nameless Sound website has a link to their PayPal. Quote

kh1958 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I would like to attend the Friday concert, but don't know if I will be able to escape from work that day. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Wish I could attend. Stuck in NYC with obligations up here. All: give my love to Alvin, please. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Jaribu and Tani are a rhythmic force that will blow people away who haven't heard them live. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 We leave in the morning - Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, Jackson, Baton Rouge and finally Houston. Seems like an interesting route to us. Quote
