Welcome to Monday Jazz!

I just saw Jeff Parker with Ryan Sawyer, Matana Roberts, and Tunde Adebimpe in LA a couple weeks ago and was telling my friend I mostly know him from this show (and Tortoise)

Greetings Dan Thanks for Charlie Parker opener .Attending Charlie Parker festival on of my summer highlights.

I liked to request some Toby Keith or Morgan wallen please, Cowboy Dan

Hey Patrick Hey Rob! Thanks for the shout-out, how was the Parker show?

Maybe some Kentucky Heedhunters...

It was great! My friend was there for Mantana Roberts. Neither of us realized at the time Tunde Adebimpe was the vocalist from TV on the Radio

Tunde starred in a pretty great indie comedy in 2001. Loved his record from last year...

Nice, I'll add that to my watchlist on letterboxd. I just interviewed Jon Moritsugu recently, who featured the guitarist from TV on the Radio in a couple of his mid-career films

Saw the early show last evening. Guys were terrific.

Jon Moritsugu! A sensation in san Fran back in the '90s!

Jealous you saw the show Mark!

Digging the tunes Dan. Thank you.

Thanks!

Pretty sure that's the show when Archie played Le Matin des Noires.

Anyone interested in Coltrane 100 events there is a free concert next Wednesday 0923 6 pm in Love Park Center City Philadelphia

Bobby Z. playing?

Thanks for the tip Patrick, might work out for me...

The show at Ars Nova on the 25th sounds like a don't miss.

Irreversible Entanglements presents Ascension // Odean Pope-Reggie Workman-Andrew Cyrille Trio!

Are they doing a scaled down version of Ascension or is that just the name?

They will be performing "ascension"...

Milt w/ James Moody, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter and Candy Finch...

Ben awhile since I played some Sadao...

Free concert tonight. Victor Wooten and family. 8 pm Wiggins Park Camden NJ waterfront. I believe 10$ for parking

Dan.. caught your show while driving home from vacation on Labor Day.. very enjoyable

Thanks, had a good time playing all that rootsy stuff!

Steel guitarist Freddie Roulette!

Thanks Dan great music today . Dans favorite day of the week. The program and Angelo’s closed

Two wins!

RIP Cheetah Chrome!

I've been listening for decades, though I never post here, but it makes me sad that even here no one has noted that Andy Bresnan left this world a couple of weeks ago. You may remember him as ringleader of the Big Mess Orchestra, Baby Flamehead and many other underdocumented works.

Yes, I knew Andy, he played in Ben Vaugn's "Giant Slugs" horn section. Talented guy, sad to hear....

Thanks all, next time!
