it’s not been a great week for music, nothing has seemed right, so friday i pulled out a 6-night run by elvin jones at seattle’s jazz alley.  only made it around 4 hours into it by the end of the day (thanks, conference calls!), and am playing it with breaks until the full 13+ hours runs out.  these are pretty good audience recordings.  anyway, feeling much better now.  also bought a digital download version of will calhoun‘s celebrating elvin jones, “sight unseen” just to round out the week.

here’s a little something that i was listening to at work last week.

unrelated to that, i’m currently readying young man with a horn by dorothy baker, which i picked up at a surprisingly good bookshop in macroom, co. cork, a couple of weeks ago (‘surprising’ as there weren’t actually very many books; small but very well curated).  i also bought the curry guy veggie, and my wife bought something as well.  anyway, the blurb on the back says ymwah is “widely regarded as the first jazz novel, and it pulses with the music that defined an era”.  i’ll take that on faith, but in any event, i’m enjoying it immensely and do recommend it.  it’s a nice little edition from the nyrb classics; i’ve not seen many of their books before, and will have to look through their catalog.  perhaps they’ll be an alternative to persephone books, whose selections i can definitely recommend as well.

jenny scheinman & allison miller’s parlour game – 4 june 2019, freight & salvage, berkeley, ca

what i’ve been listening to yesterday.  it’s nice to have some jazz violin that’s not “gypsy jazz” (which i also am very fond of).  and an excellent recording, like all the other “lerond” recordings i’ve heard.  there’s also a solo performance by jenny scheinman birchmere in alexandria, posted here almost exactly 5 years ago.

lately, i’ve been listening to a few jazz performances from youtube (not great sound specs, but you pays your money and you takes your choice, eh?) of performances that i’d mostly missed at the hugh lane gallery and/or from the improvised music center, both here in dublin.  you might enjoy the recent show at the hugh lane by izumi kimura and cora venus lunny, who i heard last year at an improv festival here.  (that link is to the hugh lane page; the yt page is here.)  it’s funny:  it seems easier to make it to a show at a club than online… life gets in the way more often.

well, i’m on a little vacation, but this time i did a full backup and brought along the main usb drive since we were driving.  how much padding around a usb drive is enough, really?  all good so far, including this show.
