updated jan 2023:  listening to this again for the first time in probably 8 years, and i really enjoyed it.  yes, there was a bit of crowd noise, but it worked (for me at least, again!) to give it that ‘live show’ feel.  it’s a long show too, and they took the time to play some long numbers, always nice!  i’ve added the musicians’ urls i could find & a photo (which i wasn’t doing 8 years ago).

i’ve downloaded two ernie watts shows from ‘ijwthstd’ on dime.  ijwthstd doesn’t give much information about anything*, and (be warned) there is a quite a lot of crowd noise in this.  but i really enjoyed it.  enough that i took the trouble to update the info file (below) with what i could, though i couldn’t understand the titles of the last two songs (not even sure those titles were announced).  maybe it caught me in just the right mood, i don’t know… so here’s the show from 2011 that was seeded back in january  2014.
*  on dime, he has a ul/dl ratio of 1.7, and high volume; should we complain too loudly?

here’s a great show by the charlie haden quartet from sometime in 1988, down in nice, southern france.  don’t know precisely when or where (maybe the nice jazz festival?), nor even if it’s the whole show… but it’s well worth a listen; i’ve added the entire 11-minute first song as a sample.
