Boston - anybody going to see Ernest Dawkins tonight?

New Horizons at the ICA...should be good. It's also the last BMCA show that Ed Hazell is running.

Dawkins and the New Horizons put on a great show last Friday (4/28) at the ICA in Boston. This show was also notable because it's the last BMCA show after a 10 year run curated by Ed Hazell.

The band played a broad range of pieces and included fiery playing from Dawkins , Steve Berry on Trombone and some new young cats on Bass and Drums who's names I've forgotten. Low point for me was the trumpet player (again, I've forgotten his name) who often turned to "loud and high" instead of finding more creative ways of negotiating the musical spaces setup by the band and compositions.

The bass player was Darius Savage and the drummer Isaiah Spencer, a name you will likely encounter more often in the future.

I thought this thread was asking if anybody was going to see Boston.

Like what I've heard of Dawkins.. is he still recording for Delmark?
