I saw Henry Threadgill in the 1990s at Thread Waxing Space in NYC. I recollect Amina Claudine Myers on organ and Brandon Ross on guitar. It was excellent. I'm excited to have another chance.

Just skimmed through it once, so far. Definitely want to see as many Threadgills as possible. Tomeka, for sure. Lots of conflicts on Thursday, but Fri-Sun seemed a little more manageable.

Looks to be a very satisfying year at BE.

As the saying goes, a Threadgill concert a day keeps the doctor away.

I broke down and got a ticket for the Andre 3000 show on Friday

I thought about it but did not since all of his sets conflicted with something else I wanted to see.
