T.D. Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) I'm on their e-mail list. Got a message touting the AEC this morning. Agreed, fine lineup. BOAC has really evolved over the years to include much more jazz / improvised music. Curious about the Triadic Memories performance...Conrad Tao is an excellent pianist, but I didn't know Tyshawn Sorey had the piece in his repertoire. Edited April 6, 2023 by T.D.

Hoppy T. Frog Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I was there! Roscoe Mitchell tested positive for COVID the day the AEOC was to play, and Shabaka Hutchings stepped in. It was a smaller band than the greatly expanded one that has been performing for many years, a lot of unfamiliar material this time. The rest of the festival was great, like Big Ears, but pared down to just contemporary classical and avant-jazz/improv. Threadgill did not perform, but it was great finally seeing a seminal Threadgill band I had never seen live. A very well run and manageably-sized festival, all venues were very close together bar one. I found it superior to Big Ears in every way. Edited August 6, 2023 by Hoppy T.

I knew he'd guested previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy T. Frog Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 He fit in quite well, I'm not so familiar with Hutchings' work, but I thought it was a great show--except for the moment Don Moye stumbled and fell backwards into the backdrop, that was a heart stopping moment but he was okay.
