i’ve been meaning to upload this for a few days, just been too busy — the first week back after vacation is always a bit hectic! amina figarova and her band scullers jazz club boston, massachusetts usa 22 march 2019 amina figarova – piano alex sipiagin – trumpet bart platteau – flutes morgan guerin – [Read more…]
here, on the last full day of vacation, is something a little sad and sweet from the great anouar brahem. the oud has such a lovely sound! among other things, this vacation, i’ve moved the concert database from a popular spreadsheet program to db browser for sqlite, which i have to say is a lot [Read more…]
having recently seen girl from the north country at the olympia with my wife, which we both enjoyed, i was glad to actually find this show lying around. while i’m not the biggest dylan fan, i’d not have guessed that gftnc was all dylan’s music (sometimes even for songs that i knew). and the music [Read more…]
here’s the next show, the fantastically named bellevue nurses with a live version of mingus’ the black saint and the sinner lady. they’ve stretched out tracks 3 & 4 (or mode c and modes d-e-f, if you prefer) compared to the studio lp. wonderful performance. bellevue nurses play charles mingus ‘the black saint and the [Read more…]
here’s one of two shows that took my fancy this past week. first, an audio demux of a video from the 2016 montreux jazz festival. antonio faraò is one of my favorite pianists, and guitar-and-piano is such a nice combination. so despite being “just” m4a 128/44, i thought i’d share this. no sample as it’s [Read more…]

cip is backup! sorry for the delay, i’ve been super busy!
superband is totally the word here. not much more to be said about that! the venue, on the other hand, is a bit mysterious. as far as i can tell, the riverview supper club closed in 2000 and the site is now condos. and yet, the occasional later reference on the internet, like this tim [Read more…]
what a lineup! b.sax, t.sax and organ! i have no memory of this from when i downloaded it in march 2020, and you’d think that i would! but then again that was a busy time, cancelling flights, learning to wear masks, and so forth. anyway, glad this has been dredged up from the archive! gary [Read more…]
