Announcement

I'm going up to Newport, so this will be my last post until Tuesday, August 5th or Wednesday, the 6th.



It’s not the best lineup I’ve ever seen, but it’s always a fun time.

In the meantime, here's some music from a gentleman, I've seen several times over the years at Newport.

      Tyshawn Sorey should be good too -- that would be my pick if I were able to go.

    The McBride Big Band is phenomenal. Just saw Salvant and she was miscast at a manouche fest (she did a note perfect rendition of a bad Donna Summer disco song as an encore which was a headscratcher). Saw Kenny Garrett a few months ago and he was phenomenal. Enjoy (I know you will)!

    Music festivals are a lot of fun, especially if you've been before and like the set-up, vibes, and program. All the best to you, and thanks for all the fun you've given us!

    If I was stuck on a desert album and only had access to one set of albums, I think I would choose Dexter Gordon's Blue Note recordings.

    That lineup looks pretty repectable to me, especially your own roster. Have fun, Babs.
