while a bit of this seemed very “60s” to me, most of it really grabbed my attention, slow, paced, pared down, a bit somber really.  the more i listen to this (on the 3rd time now), the  more i like it.

it’s been a jeremy pelt afternoon, listening to these two shows (early & late) and another (soundboard recording) from 2018 in lugano.  the sbd is arguably better, but i liked this more, and it’s an excellent “aud” recording.

following on the ari hoenig show that i saw & greatly enjoyed in greystones recently, i also booked in to see aja (not surprisingly, they’re a steely dan tribute band, but supposed to be good) in mid-november.  feeling very chuffed indeed, but then today a nice surprise:  the brad mehldau show that i booked at the start of march 2020 — which was of course cancelled, i don’t even remember when it was going to be — is next tuesday at the nch!  totally forgotten about that, not eeeeeven on my horizon.  guess i’ll mosey on into town!  “it never rains, but it pours!”  and who’ll use my second ticket?

here’s another “i” that i had stashed up in the cloud, and which ticks an awful lot of boxes.  there’s an interesting review of this show up at worldmusicandculture.com, including (which is fascinating) that maalouf “plays a microtonal trumpet that was invented by his father, which enables him to play the quarter tones that are essential to the performance of maqqam”.  who knew there even was such a thing?  kcrw has an article on this particular trumpt also, but apparently there have been others in the past, including one commissioned by jazz trumpeter don ellis.  as far as i can tell, they all have one thing in common:  a fourth valve.   and “microtonal“? the notes between the notes… you have to love something anything so interstitial (though i suppose in this case “interstitial” might depend on your perspective).

about time we had a show by at least one (never mind both!) of the jensen sisters here.  this is a very good audience recording of them in australia, a place from which i only have a few shows, or so it seems to me without counting, but including several excellent shows from the excellent sydney women’s jazz festival.  a tip o’ the hat to the bold ‘vierstein91’ who shared this & a number of other shows from that neck of the woods.

we’ll come back to “g” later, the only thing that i had stashed in the cloud was an april 1966 gunter hampel show which is still up on inconstant sol (pro tip: go get it!).  so on to “h”, with and all too short performance at studio 105, paris, by the hanna paulsberg quartet.  (somehow i always think of studio 104, not 105. poor old 105!)

there’s a nice write-up of the show, with some pics (including the one to the right) at jazzmagazine.com, that ended on a note i quite like, “a very nice discovery for all the spectators, obviously won over (just like yours truly), and the hope of hearing this great musician again”.

unrelated to any of that, open culture has an article watch jaco pastorius: the lost tapes documentary, the fan-made film on the most innovative bass player of all time that might be of interest.  (i’ve not actually watched it yet, but open culture is a pretty good site, so i have high hopes.)

finally, is it just me or is myspace a total waste of time?  never go there and can find out anything, even when i’m on the right page.  like, i don’t even link to it now.  #InternetSearchPerils anyone?

this has been lying around for around 11 years, when i was fortunate enough to download the more (and perhaps actually) complete version.  there’s something to be said for being congenitally late, i suppose.  charlie wright’s doesn’t ring a bell, which is funny: if it was part of the london jazz fest, you’d think it would have popped up in some other context (jazz related, obvs), but then i’m not from there, so what the heck.  around here, though, i’m off to my first show in a Very Long Time Indeed: the ari hoenig trio.  very much looking forward to it.

ernest dawkins chicago trio has a different lineup on almost every reference that i find online (and none of them this one).  for me, this show is all about dawkins, which is great.  on the flip side, this is the only show of his that i have (again this happens!).  anyway, busy day, so that’s all for now.

one of the many aacm artists, except for track01 (out of a senegal’ tune, and then similar to many david murray or ethnic eritage’s themes), it is regular and effective chicago jazz… dedicated to fred anderson, i wouldn’t mind a slightly larger line-up, though…

i recorded this back 14 years ago with a (now old & unusable) avermedia tv/fm receiver in a pcmcia card.  wow.  anyway, it was a fantastic show which as i recall, i could neither attend nor listen to live.  so (& i don’t remember) it must have been a pleasant surprise at how well this came out.  and it was a super show!  my favorite bits are the set by the great phil ware, with vocals by ian shaw, and joanna macregor & andy shepard, but it’s good start to finish.  i was been relistening to this all day long yesterday & hope you enjoy it as much as i have.

blue goes live from the spiegeltent at the dublin fringe festival, wednesday
september 12th

rté lyric fm presents the blue of the night live, an evening of sublime
music presented by paul herriott on stage and simultaneously broadcast on rté
lyric fm.

it is a unique opportunity to hear music from across the genres including
pianist joanna macgregor and sax player andy shepard who “share an
extraordinary ability to wrest more out of a musical instrument than you’d
have thought possible.”- western daily press.

french composer and musician colleen performs on viola da gamba and guitar
while simultaneously multi-tracking to create music of stunning beauty,
while infectious milongas, tangos and chacareras are to be expected from
quintet lunfardia.

ireland’s finest jazz ensemble the phil ware trio has been a regular on the
show since 2004 and this time they are joined by guest vocalist ian shaw.
there are no musical boundaries when it comes to great music on the blue
of the night live.

there’s a complete version of this floating around out there, which i hope to get my hands on one of these fine days, but (so they say) with “a good number of glitches/skips” and missing a track that appears here.  no glitches in this excerpt, but it definitely left me feeling that i’d had an appetizer with no main course.  still, a super appetizer!  tapas, anyone?
