PHILLYQ Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Don't forget that the schedules haven't come out yet for the freebies, like 'Celebrate Brooklyn', and the River to River Festival'. I saw Don Byron last year for free doing early rap & funk, caught Blood Ulmer with a blues band(including Vernon Reid) last year, etc. You can't beat the price... Quote

Hardbopjazz Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Posted April 2, 2004 (edited) Where is Joe Henderson playing? Bertrand. If you're dying to know, well let's just say, you'll pay the ultimate price to see him live. Edited April 2, 2004 by Hardbopjazz Quote

BFrank Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 Give me some shows for 4/28-5/1. I'll be in town. So far, looking at: Mingus Big Band - Fez Ravi Coltrane - Tonic Hamiet Bluett - Sweet Rhythm Quote
7/4 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 There might be some Jazz at SummerStage in Central Park. It's been years since I've been there. Quote

Pete C Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 BFrank, this ain't jazz, but I'm aiming for this show in my neighborhood (@ Barbes) Fri 04/30 The return of JOHNNY STAATS AND ROBERT SHAFER celebrating both Barbes' 2d anniversary and the release of their long awaited new cd "pickin up steam" Johnny Staats is a virtuoso mandolinist who gained national attention by securing a recording contract with a major Nashville label while refusing to give up his job as a UPS driver. He was featured in the New York Times, The Today Show and CNN. Despite the potential pitfalls of such publicity, The West Virginian driver has managed to earn high praise and critical acclaim and has since gone on to play the international Bluegrass circuit - but still holds on to his day gig in West Virginia. Robert Shafer also hails from West Virginia. He is a two times National Flatpicking Champion, has performed with Mark O'Connor and Vassar Clements and has appeared as a featured artist on NPR's Mountain Stage. $10 7:30pm & 9:30pm Quote
kh1958 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 John Handy 1965 quintet reunion, July, Iridium. I may have to plan a trip to see this, one of my favorite groups of all. Quote
BFrank Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion, Pete. I'm leaning towards the Mingus Big Band, though. It seems like something that should be seen on their "home field" and it's not that easy to see them otherwise. Quote
Pete C Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 BFrank, too damn bad the Charles Tolliver big band doesn't have a gig while you're here. If I remember correctly you're a major Tolliver fan. Quote
Pete C Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 There's a great double bill at Tonic this Wednesday: 8pm Fred Anderson Trio $12 With Fred Anderson (sax), Chad Taylor (drums) & Paul Steinbeck (bass). A rare NY appearance by this long-standing Chicago free jazz institution. 10pm Kevin Norton's $10 With John Lindberg (bass), Tony Malaby (tenor sax), Kevin Norton (drums) & Dave Ballou (trumpet). (They rarely clear the house on a weeknight between sets) And one in May at the 55 Bar I'm looking forward to: Friday May 28 Dave Liebman - Ellery Eskelin Quartet Late Show Dave Liebman - Saxes, Ellery Eskelin - Tenor Sax, Tony Marino - Bass, Jim Black - Drums And a couple of nice lineups coming up in the CBGB Sunday night series: april 18 jessica jones eddie gale gene ess dave scott april 25 lou grassi andrew rathbun billy mintz two bass band Quote
BFrank Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) BFrank, too damn bad the Charles Tolliver big band doesn't have a gig while you're here. If I remember correctly you're a major Tolliver fan. Absolutely! That would have been GREAT. Edited April 3, 2004 by BFrank Quote
