The great musicians can conjure their muse in any situation. They can withstand commercialism, hubris and changing times. Listeners with great ears can also hear the artistry in any situation.
The bad news is Billy Delle will be out resting tonight after returning back from Pakistan on “Classified Business”.
The good news (to some it may be bad news) is the Boudin Man has plans to hijack the airwaves from 7:00 p.m. to midnight with some very special programming.
My approach to planning JazzFest: pick a bunch of shows that I absolutely can't miss, then when the night of the show comes around be open to going anywhere and doing anything. That being said, here's the shows I can't wait to see:
In honor of the late great Don "Big Moose" Jamison
and
in honor of everyone celebrating Easter
and
any excuse to play this is a good one...
The Tone Scientists and Sound Chemists and Vibration Physicists of the Kitchen Sink will bring you the epic avant garde free jazz sounds of the John Coltrane Ensemble's
