kh1958 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Posted September 1, 2020 At the Village Vanguard: FRIDAY + SATURDAY NIGHT: THE GEORGE CABLES TRIO This Friday and Saturday, pianist George Cables will play the Vanguard stage; accompanying him will be Essiet Okon Essiet on bass and Billy Hart on drums. The New Yorker says it best; "Dubbed 'Mr. Beautiful' by the late, great, Art Pepper... George Cables has established himself as an individualist whose comfort with bebop-based modern jazz has an unimpeachable stamp of authenticity." Quote

I just watched tonight's live stream and I am a little choked up. With all of the ugliness in the world and normal life on hold, to see George Cables, who has faced major health challenges, play so beautifully is a bit overwhelming. Quote
bertrand Posted September 7, 2020 Report Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) So Facebook seems to be trying to put an end to livestreams. I am sure BMI and ASCAP complained. So let's say I pay a pianist to play 8 Herbie Nichols songs live for about an hour. Why can't I just pay a licensing fee for each song since I am not a venue presenting live music on a regular basis, nor charging a cover and/or selling good and drink? Why is it so hard to present am artistic event in this country? Edited September 9, 2020 by bertrand Quote

bertrand Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Update: ASCAP specifically says on their website that if you stream via Facebook, YouTube, Twitch etc., the fees are already paid. So that is not the issue. Not sure what is happening on 10/1. We shall see. Quote
ejp626 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Posted September 25, 2020 Anyone tuning in tonight or tomorrow to Kenny Barron streaming at the Vanguard? https://villagevanguard.com/event/barron-trio They say they've overhauled their system (I guess in response to a lot of complaints). I haven't entirely decided, but at $10, I'll probably give it a whirl... Quote
kh1958 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Posted September 25, 2020 Maybe. The stream and sound functioned well for me for David Murray a couple of weeks ago. Quote

I haven't entirely decided, but at $10, I'll probably give it a whirl... I believe the overhaul was to put it back to the system they used before they attempted an overhaul last week. In any event I think the overhaul is primarily related to the ticketing function. The actual stream has been high quality each time I tried it. Quote
ejp626 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Apparently there have been so many, many complaints about the quality of the streaming at the Village Vanguard that they are suspending the program indefinitely. In the end, I didn't catch either night of Kenny Barron. Maybe it is just as well... Quote
relyles Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 I caught most of both nights of the Kenny Barron. There were again some techical problems, but when it was working the video and audio quality were very good as usual. I think they just have alot of problems with buffering and other technical problems. They should switch to a YouTube format like Smoke and Jazz Gallery and other venues. There rarely seem to be any of those technical problems on that platform. Quote

ejp626 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Next Tuesday, Rudresh Mahanthappa is doing two separate live-streamed concerts to promote his new album, Hero Trio. I believe tickets are $10. I'll see if I can tune in to the evening concert. Details here: https://www.crowdcast.io/rudreshm Quote
relyles Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Starting tomorrow through Monday, the entire 2020 Vision Festival will be live streamed. Quote

Thanks for the notice. I've always wanted to attend Vision, now I get a virtual opportunity. Thankfully streams are available for 24 hours so i won't need to stay up all night. Purchased a Saturday ticket. Keen to see Amina Claudine Myers who I've never seen live. Edited October 7, 2020 by mjazzg Quote
trane123 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 On 10/23 Charles Lloyd will be streaming from his "home theater" (the Lobero in Santa Barbara, CA) with Gerald Clayton and Anthony Wilson. The Lobero is a wonderful old theater that's had a great jazz series for decades. Hope this - and concerts like it - can help them stay in business. https://www.lobero.org/events/charles-lloyd-ocean-trio/?utm_source=wordfly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CharlesLloyd_20-1&utm_content=version_A Quote

BFrank Posted October 15, 2020 Report Posted October 15, 2020 Saw the Pharaoh Sanders/Azar Lawrence show from Zebulon in LA. It was very well done. The 2 saxes sounded great together, too. Although it was shown yesterday, it was actually recorded last month. Quote

Also caught the Rudresh Mahanthappa Hero Trio Release Concert the same day. Wednesday Night series by Bar Bayeux started last night with Chris Potter Trio. Quote

ejp626 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Posted October 22, 2020 It appears that Vancouver is still allowing some live performances, whereas these have been completely shut down in Toronto (not that there was ever that much live jazz beyond some local acts playing at The Rex, at least in the last 10 years). However, Cory Weeds is offering a livestream (generally for $10) of the various upcoming shows he is presenting. It appears that they are being presented at the Shadbolt Centre in Burnaby rather than in his club, The Cellar. Details here - https://coryweeds.com/shows/ I'll try to catch the show on Nov. 15 which is actually a big band project led by Cory. Quote

A perfect jazz trio for a Friday night. Buy Your Tickets Here! Can't make it this Friday? No worries, this performance will be available on demand for 30 days.
