The lineup is absurdly tantalizing. Glad it'll be at Roulette as we can at least hope for decent sound.

[mjazzg]

Well, I definitely envy those of you who are near enough to attend. If I had the wherewithal I'd be there in a shot if only for "Women with an axe to grind"  and New World Pygmies but I'd definitely hang about for a lot more

Have a good time, those that go. All reports back will be read with interest

So glad it is back at Roullette

 

would love to be there for the Burrell tribute on Wednesday 5/23 but it looks like Friday night 5/25 & Sunday night 5/27 are my targets.

5/25: first band looks interesting as I’ve wanted to hear Keir Neuringer. Nasheet Waits’ Equality with Darius Jones is a great band and I cannot miss the Shipp ensemble that includes both Mat Maneri & Nate Wooley

5/27: missed Frode Gjerstad’s trios & quartets too many times and this quartet with Steve Swell will be burning, would love to hear Chris Potter with Cleaver - plus I see Brandon Lopez in on bass - I’ve always wanted to hear Potter in this sort of environment. Plus I think I need to see Gayle one more time before it’s too late. Hopefully he plays more tenor sax than piano - maybe it’s good they are listing saxophone next to his name.

Anyone here know what kind of shape Archie Shepp’s chops are in?

certainly very tempting to want to hear Shepp with Burrell, Parker & Drake

[kh1958]

Not yet, if all goes well I'll see Archie Shepp for the first time in New Orleans on May 3.

[clifford_thornton]

Shepp sounds good -- at least he was in fine form when I saw him a couple of years ago. Wonder if they'll bring out any of the old Shepp-Burrell chestnuts like "Blues for Donald Duck," "Hipnosis," and "Sonny's Back?" I suppose those are all Grachan tunes, right?

I saw Keir in duo with Shayna Dulberger once, and that was quite strong, so I think you're in for a treat.

[Steve Reynolds]

Opening night tomorrow night - listed as Sold Out which is not surprising - I’ll be there and then on either Friday or Sunday night. Looks like Charles Gayle is NOT listed any longer but I still will probably go that night for the first two quartets

Sunday the 27th

[clifford_thornton]

gotcha. He has had health problems so I guess I'm not surprised. Unfortunate, though.
