i know i’ve said before things like “what is it with groups led by drummers?”  maybe, just maybe, i like drums more than i realize.  anyway here’s another one!

ok, so, and this is a bit freaky, doing the internet research on this, guess who’s at snug harbour in new orleans this tuesday?  yes, stanton moore, with david torkanowsky & james singleton.

i like the look of the cotton club in tokyo.  the photo reminds me of a jazz club in seoul, the once in a blue moon, that i went to a number of times, many of them with a good friend of ours (and at least once with him & his son as well).  nice memories.

nb – don’t be fooled by the ‘volume adjustment’ in the notes; you still need to turn this all the way up.  the original volume must have been in the basement.

the lounge lizards seem to have always been lurking somewhere on the edges of the music i’m listening to, going back to around the time of this concert.  a track on a college radio station, an lp, or later a cd, at a friends house, etc etc.  and now this show from almost 40 years ago that’s been hiding under the “l’s” for a few years.  john lurie’s comments are hilarious and endearing.  another tip o’ the hat to unclewolfi.

nice to hear a male jazz singer for a change (though, tbh, i tend to prefer the female singers), and sachal vasandani is super.  rather frustratingly, sachal vasandani was at arthur’s pub here in dublin back in october… and i wasn’t.  it was a monday night, and i just hadn’t checked what was coming up.  sigh!  there’s a lesson there.  hope there was a great turnout that will entice him back to town.
