Hiromi's appearance at the Jazz Showcase got slagged by Tribune critic Howard Reich: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entert...,131075.column His criticism resembles what Gunther Schuller wrote about Art Tatum in The Swing Era.

I have not seen her live, but I have seen a couple of YouTube clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HcKrd3K8_A Her technique is phenomenal but I'm not a big fan - she sounds soul-less to me.

Dewey Redman and Ed Blackwell - Red and Black at Willisau. A constant source of inspiration.

Great choice, B. For some reason, Joe Segal (generally an avant garde hater) loves Dewey Redman and he was the only "out" player that Joe would book at the Jazz Showcase. Whoda' thunk it.

I saw her at the Indianapolis Jazz Festival a few years ago. She was with her band.
Unlike that review, she was very good. After reading the review. I don't feel too bad for missing her 4pm Sunday at the showcase. I do plan to be at the showcase for this:

Mar 18 2010 - Mar 21 2010 Joe Lovano Us Five featuring James Weidman (piano), Esperanza Spalding (bass), Otis Brown III (drums), Francisco Mela (drums)

The Atlanta Jazzfest is returning to Piedmont Park (Memorial Day weekend). I hope this is a sign that the budget is again big enough for big name acts. The past festivals held at Piedmont were some of the best free real jazz festivals around. For big name acts, they were second only to Detroit's jazzfest.

1960's recordings of David Brubeck.

I find it amazing the quality of live recordings at the time.

Let's hope for less "smooth jazz", a contradiction in terms.

Wynton Kelly, Someday my Prince will come.

It's really quite lovely.

Lionel Loueke's new album Mwaliko. It's good. Saw him at a workshop a few weeks ago at Berklee. Incredible human being.
