Ok I meant to post about music too, but so far it's been pretty a bit difficult to find good things to write about. I'll attribute it to the Thanksgiving long weekend, but I haven't really heard anything that's blown me away yet. Although no show has really got me so far, I can recall the parts of each show that did (in order to avoid casting negativity on the parts that absolutely didn't):
Tom Harrell, pretty much everything about his playing. His tone, his solos, his tunes, all very inspiring.
The drummer and electric bassist at the 55bar last night. I didn't catch their names, but they were trying some cool things that I don't hear often. They had a neat way of starting/ending/accenting lines in places that don't occur to bread-and-butter jazz players, but would to someone who is immersed in beat-driven electronic music. Very interesting.
Marshall Allen on EVI (not EWI as was listed in the program). I liked it for a while, but by the end of the set I was done with it. It does seem like an interesting interface for controlling electronic sound though. More so than the EWI I think.
I regret missing Kenny Werner play solo piano at Kitano, but I can only be in so many places at a time, and I really wanted to at least experience the Stone for once.
Hopefully I'll have more music to write about soon.
