This is one hellofa band! I loved it at the Vanguard. The music is phenomenal. She said each set will be different. We could stay for the 2nd set for an additional 1 drink minimum, but I knew I couldn't do it.
They made another change to the paying system. You now pay your server. That means it takes a lot less time to seat everyone and my old strategies no longer work. It's a good thing overall, you just need to get there earlier to get a good seat.
They had advance copies of the new CD available. They will be available to the general public in early 2012. It's awesome. Everything they played was awesome as well. I loved it!

Baudolino’s Dilemma @ Local 269 8/14/11
This was awesome. I had Sun night things to do at home, but the 15-20 min I got was great. I loved those wild short frenetic trumpet blasts. Unfortunately, I don't know who was playing trumpet. There was a TBD sax in the listing..

Hands Down @ Local 269 8/14/11
Sun nights are going to be jazz nights at Local 269. Brad Farberman is curating once a month. Dee Pop is curating I think once a month. I'm not sure about the rest.
Hands Down is Jessica Lurie's new project and it is fantastic. I only got about 20 min or so, but I loved it.

Bustle In Your Hedgerow @ Brooklyn Bowl 8/12/11
This may very well be the best show I've seen all year. I walked in at 9:30 and they were already on. I remember thinking I haven't been to truly great music this level ever. Of course that's not true, but it really was better than you could possibly imagine. It's the right venue for this. They've also gotten so much better over the years.
They are all magnificent, but Joe Russo is the most magnificent of all. I'm happy for him and his career, but I selfishly want more of him playing with magnificent musicians at small venues here in NYC. I also really miss The Duo. I miss them almost as much as I miss Tonic.
It was 2 sets of amazing excellent Led Zeppelin music played better than Led Zeppelin themselves in the studio. Questlove came out at the end so we had 2 great drummers. It was so awesome!

Nicholas Payton @ Iridium 8/6/11
I really wanted to get to this. I didn't really look into it too carefully, I just wanted to see Nicholas. I was disappointed - too smooth. The people there who knew what they were getting themselves into were loving it. Nick was playing the Rhodes a lot and the trumpet a little. I mostly didn't care for the style of the keyboard. It just wasn't my kind of sound. The music was heavy on the contrabass and light on the drums which definitely isn't my preference. The drums and bass were excellent, which was a saving grace.
There were moments - some killer trumpet riffs, great bass solos, and some good drum moments. It was definitely more in the smooth jazz side - which is one of the few sides of jazz I'm not into. Actually, I would categorize it as "Smooth Soul Jazz". Double whammy. Oh well, it's so rare for me to get a show with talented artists that I don't enjoy. Live and learn.

Dr. Lonnie Smith Nonet @ Jazz Standard 8/3/11
I just had to go. It was phenomenal. John Ellis and Logan Richardson were there. I loved the trumpet. I think the trombone was the musical director. Dr. Lonnie Smith was so entertaining. He has 2 drum pads on each side of the keyboard that has an African drum sound. There was also a special guest percussionist that sat in from time to time. He was in the audience when he wasn't playing, so I suspect he was a one night, perhaps one set, special guest.
I loved the experimentalish piece. I think it was called Beehive. I also loved the funk piece. Actually, all of it was great. We even got a little encore because we wanted more.
John Ellis – tenor saxophone, bass clarinet
Kyle Wilson – tenor saxophone
Logan Richardson – alto saxophone
Max Seigel – tuba, trombone
Corey King – trombone
Dr. Lonnie Smith – Hammond B-3 organ
Jonathan Kreisberg – guitar
Jamire Williams – drums
When Dr. Lonnie Smith led a blazing big band for some special New Year’s Eve appearances at Jazz Standard, Ben Ratliff of the New York Times said it “sounded superfine. What I heard operated on two settings: nasty funk and wine-dark ballads. That was enough…song after song, he dug a valley in the music and spread out…” Now the Doctor is IN with a brand–new nonet (or “little big band”) featuring top–shelf soloists like saxophonists John Ellis and Logan Richardson alongside Lonnie’s stalwart accompanists Jonathan Kreisberg (guitar) and Jamire Williams (drums).

Robert Hurst Quartet @ Jazz Standard 8/2/11
I went "by accident". I have a feeling I would have ended up there anyway. I had my nights mixed up and I thought it was Dr. Lonnie Smith, but that wasn't until later that week. The funny thing was I didn't realize I was in the "wrong" place until they announced the band. I thought it was funny yet knew it was likely to be great because everything at that place it great. Then I saw Jeff "Tain" Watts come on stage and I remembered this show was on my list, too! I didn't know the other 3, including the leader, but I gotta have some Tain every now and then.
As you can imagine, the music was phenomenal. The "other 3" were awesome, especially Rafael Statin on sax. I loved the piano and bass, too. Tain was as awesome as ever.
Rafael Statin – saxophone
Lawrence Fields – piano
Robert Hurst – bass
Jeff “Tain” Watts – drums
In 2011, bassist/composer Robert Hurst’s protean accomplishments as in–demand sideman, film composer, and university educator led to the release of not one but two outstanding – and very different – new recordings on his own BeBob label. Bob Ya Head is an intriguing foray into world music and electronica, featuring Darryl “Munyungo” Jackson, Marcus Belgrave, and Karriem Riggins; UnreHurst Vol. 2 is an all–acoustic trio peformance recorded live in New York City in 2007, with pianist Robert Glasper and Chris “Daddy” Dave. For this much–anticipated Jazz Standard double–header, Hurst returns to the classic quartet format to play four sets of steaming straight–ahead jazz powered by the dynamic drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, and two rising stars in saxophonist Rafael Statin, from Hurst’s hometown of Detroit, and pianist Lawrence Fields.
