Robin;

Sorry to learn of Dave's loss.

Are there any future plans for Dave Holland Quintet to get together and record a studio album? I have seen the DHQ, Octet, and Big Band on various...

Steve;

Any news about Bobo Stenson touring the USA?

Thanks,

LWayne

Steve;

Any chance that Bobo Stenson will tour the USA again soon? I recall that he was in NYC at Birdland (I think) several years ago, and, unforunately I missed him. He is a captivating piano...

Steve;

Will the new Masabumi Kikuchi CD "Sunrise" be the last ECM release to feature Paul Motian? I hope not, but recall a comment to that effect in a press release.

Any more...

Indeed Sam Rivers was a special guy and an unpretentious one to boot. Several years ago, in 2003, I had the privilege of catching him play live along with Jason Moran and the Bandwagon at Spivey Hall...

My final lists for "Best of" 2011" are as follows:

New Releases

1 Aaron Goldberg/ Guillermo Klein Bienestan Sunnyside Records
2 Craig Taborn Avenging Angel ECM Records
3 Jason Adasiewicz...

Steve;

Any chance of Bobo Stenson touring the USA again soon (maybe in conjunction with an upcoming CD release)? I would certainly plan my vacation schedule to catch him, if possible.

Lastly,...

Thumbs up for Joseph Daley! A great CD (actually released last year in Germany). Probably among my year-end favorites along with:

1. Bill Frisell 858 Quartet "Sign of Life"
2. Vijay Iyer Trio...

I initially had reservations about electric bass versus acoustic bass as well, but Taurus Mateen did an outstanding job. After all, it is the "Bandwagon" rhythm section.

Last Sunday, May 15, my wife and I headed south to Baltimore to catch a rare concert by Stanley Cowell at An Die Musik. This club is a hidden treasure; a comfortable performance space with...

The quartet (substitute Jacob Sacks for Craig Taborn) put on a great show at The Windup Space in Baltimore on Sunday.

Very intricate extended version of "Tonal Suite" was the highlight IMHO.

Any forthcoming CDs from Bobo Stenson, or any US Tours?

Also, can you provide a tentative CD release schedule through end of 2011?

Many thanks.

It's a shame. This doesen't need to happen if only there was more impetus behind the jazz community at large. We need to see and hear live jazz whenever possible and influence people who book acts...
