this must be one of the spring quartet’s very first concerts, since (thanks, internet!) they started in january 2014.  what can you say about a supergroup?

it’s another off-the-air recording from wwoz-fm in new orleans.  there are a lot in circulation, and they’re always good.  great station.

enjoy.

this was uploaded to dime by ‘simmdale’ over a year ago, but i just ran across it and downloaded it on a whim — jazz fusion isn’t really my thing.  still, i enjoyed it immensely (and am actually listening to it again now).  so, thanks simmdale.  and here you go:  a little change of pace is good for us all.

well, to accompany the last show, i was going to post a fun selection of songs from the ‘great american songbook’, from a show by david torkanowsky at the new orleans jazzfest in 2017, but it seems to have been released.  fortunately, i had this superb recording from avi avital & omer avital waiting in the wings for next weekend.  but my goodness… listening to it now, the crowd going wild at the end of the 3rd piece… they were on fire!  an album avital meets avital was released in 2017, but as avi avital’s comments at the end of track 3, this was really the first time they had played together:

there is a reason they call this series in the bremen festival the surprise concert.  it’s really a surprise, not only for you but also for us.  at the beginning of this week, we had no idea how this evening was going to sound like, because we just knew we wanted to do something together and everyone brings from his world something to the table and kind of mix it and do a new project.  so we didn’t know really what it’s going to be like. and i think it’s a great surprise for us. even after a week of rehearsals, it’s i think the first time we kind of zoom out and ok, performing in the context of a concert which is very nice, a very nice result actually, just to feel this music with you guys on stage.

this is from one of my favorite venues, the nch right here in dublin.  there don’t seem to be as many of these broadcasts as there once were, which is really too bad, but the programming at the nch is still very good.  anyway, it was around time for some more singing around here, and this and the next one might fit the bill.

mirabassi – what else do you need to know?  this recording at the jazzfestival leibnitz 2018 has only one composition from each of the musicians in the trio, which is a nice balance.  like the last concert, it’s a recording (by unclewolfi, thanks) from austrian radio.  enjoy.

wncu-fm was playing some lovely music by jamie saft when i was in raliegh, nc recently, and the name stuck in my head for various reasons.  back home, i found this show that is also rather nice, of saft with steve swallow & bobby previte in the new standard trio playing some pieces from their eponymous album.  i was a little confused on the name, but before track 3 saft says “we’re the new standard trio”, so there ya go…

carmell jones – 1972, stockholm, sweden

this has one of my favorite songs, willow weep for me, which i’ve generally only heard performed by jazz singers.  i’m not sure jones plays on it, though; sounds more like a flute, which leo wright did play (and i’ve added an “f” after his name, below].  but let’s not hold that against carmell jones!  there’s a bit of static in a few spots, but otherwise a good recording.

this is another of the shows that i’d picked before my trip, but i had to re-upload it as getting ready to post it here, there were just too many changes to the info file (‘mikeos’ shared it on dime the day after the 11:30pm broadcast, ta!).  a lot of great jazz has come out of the uk, both musicians and performances.  sorry to see them leaving the eu.  anyway, a tight performance at maida vale back before any of that nonsense had started.  spillett’s website quotes the guardian, front & center: “straight-ahead, high energy jazz is his line and he does it with aplomb”.  ’nuff said.

well after 2 concerts posted in as many hours, here’s a change of pace:  a very interesting article on “economics of bittorrent Communities”, using dime as the example on medium, at https://medium.com/@jbackus/private-bittorrent-trackers-are-markets-1d3cc3c9bacd .  thanks to erik b. who posted the link on the dime discussion list.  not sure i agree with some of the suggestions as presented in the article (have not yet read the actual .pdf), but very interesting reading.  thanks, erik b!

here’s another jfk layover special, a bit of vocals this time.  i am very fortunate:  don’t have to change terminals, found a decent spanish tapas bar, have an hour or two battery on ye olde laptoppe.  btw, in pulling the details for this one, i noticed that the info file had no setlist info.  but, crowdsourcing at its best, we have a fairly complete setlist from the tracker on dime.  so update your copy of the info file.
