BFrank Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Posted February 17, 2019 Nice list, Randy. I still haven't dug in, but will probably have several of those on mine, too. I hope to meet up with you guys for at least one breakfast. Quote
HutchFan Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Can someone please share the entire Big Ears daily schedule? Or point to a location where I can see it. For some reason, I CAN'T see it on the Big Ears site. When I click on the Line Up and Schedule links, all I get is a screen prompting me to sign up for their newsletter -- which I've already done! It's frustrating as hell (says the old fart with technology challenges). Quote
kh1958 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 I cannot view the schedule when using a Windows computer which employs internet explorer. On my home computer, a Mac using Safari, the schedule is viewable. Also, I can view it on my iPhone. So you might try viewing it through your phone. Quote

Whoever designed the site needs to do a better job of testing with different Web browsers! Apparently, IE and Chrome users aren't welcome. Quote
kh1958 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 It is odd; I have the exact same issue viewing the schedule on the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival website. Quote

BFrank Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Posted February 28, 2019 It's working for me on Windows/Chrome. Maybe they're launching it today. Quote

kh1958 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 If you have conflicts, that means it's a good festival. Quote

randyhersom Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 I have marked up a Google Map indicating many venues in red. It's too large for direct posting here. If anyone wants to provide the steps to host and link it instead or message me an email to send it to, I'd be happy to share it. Quote

randyhersom Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 They made their own map and emailed it, hope it translates: Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Bummer of the week - Alex Schlippenbach failed to obtain a visa and is not here. Quote

Many are very dissapointed, I’m sure. I am. Would have been my first time seeing the great pianist since 2003. Waiting to find out if Evan & Paul are still coming to NYC and playing as a duo on Monday night. If anyone hears anything let me know. No one at Roulette seems to know. Quote
charlesp Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Sad about Schlippenbach. Consoled by the music of Wadada, Bill Frisell, Ralph Towner, Mary Halvorson, International Contemporary Ensemble playing Anna Thorvoldsdottir, Bela Fleck, Brooklyn Rider........and more + the weather is perfect, the audiences are filled with attentive music lovers and the people in Knoxville are nice Quote
charlesp Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Normally not a fan of dual pianos, but Vijay Iyer and Craig Taborn were mesmerizing. Edited March 25, 2019 by charlesp fix typo Quote

uli Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 here is an update re Mr Schlippenbach's attempts to invade the country. was looking forward to hear them we. no updates yet from constellation @BruceGallanter Tonight at ROULETTE: EVAN PARKER / MATTHEW SHIPP / PAUL LYTTON at 8pm! Alexander von Schlippenbach was supposed to play but was denied a Visa. No one knows why Mr. Schlippenbach was denied a Visa but we can imagine. EVAN PARKER & PAUL LYTTON rarely make their way to New York so.. Quote
