Now my dream would be for Evan to ask the great Randy Peterson to make it a quartet for the second set.

Hmmm. How could I make that gig? (I've still never caught EP live...)

there MUST be a way!!!

Ugh

And I bought a few

They don't capture the sound of either Tim Berne's fine Snakeoil band or Michael Formanek's wonderful quartet.

Both Ches Smith and Gerald Cleaver sound MUCH better live and on other labels

I want to hear the full sound of the drum kit and ECM these days doesn't get it done

plus the most important aspect of the show is that they had a TUBA in place of the bass which is in memory of one the Jazz Festivals that Thelil attended back in the late 90's where he imagined that EVERY band at that downtown show had a TUBA in place of the bass.

it's getting a bit hot in the infamous little room between sets despite the "newish" air conditioner working at full bore. And it's not even that hot out - maybe 70 degrees with showers and high humidity - but *nothing* like the place must have been 2 weeks ago whent he temperatures were i...

Play by Play

First set through composed and gorgeous but unexpected in it's vibe.

foggy which one was first

all around 77 or 78:

Genesis, Yes, Blue Oyster Cult & Cheap Trick together at Cape Cod Coliseum (awful)

Yes was great both times

then Grateful Dead in maybe January 1979 which was the only time I saw them

Most jazz is museum music now. Coltrane died 45 years ago, miles nearly 22 years ago. The current crowd recreate to various degrees the excitement of earlier eras. Ther are some tremors of excitement in European new classical and avant but otherwise it's increasingly played by schooled musicians ad...

Me too. I've been really enjoying his tone and approach, especially that session.

same here - his sound and phrasing on the opening track is still mesmerizing

for me historically nothing compares to Duke Ellington's band - especially for me the music recorded in the late 1950's through the 1960's. I have always been fascinated by larger ensembles with the most fascinating of all being Chris MacGregor's Brotherhood of Breath which existed in different pers...
