So who's thinking about going?

[Cem]

Not too shabby a line-up. I'd love to go this year to catch some folks for the first time: Braxton, Tilbury, Bozulich, The Melvins & a few pleasant surprises, hopefully. Wish they'd add a solo Braxton show, too.

I was wondering when someone was going to make the first post about this. Thanks Cem. I'm somewhat considering it, depending upon dates. I can probably make it for late Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Trouble is that they keep the dates a secret until late. However, I do know that the two Braxton gigs are on Sunday, and the Signal Quintet w/Gunter Mueller is on Saturday. Unfortunately, for me, Crispell's set is on Thursday. I'm interested to find out when the Corkestra and Tilbury dates are.

the Tilbury thing is May 20, according to Dafeldecker's MySpace page. I don't see a listing for the Corkestra anywhere, sorry.

Just heard Corkestra is Thursday the 17th. That blows it for me.

the melvins big band was there 4 years ago.

I'd love to catch that Braxton show - it looks like a monster.

Any JCers going this year? Some coverage would be appreciated.

There's something of a wrap-up with multiple reviews of individual shows posted up at that other jazz site. The writer apparently didn't attend the set with Tilbury, however, the one thing I was really curious about.

Tilbury cancelled, it was just the trio, the same group that was at the Stone last week (which you missed, too bad, the second set was superb).

Hi Cor,

No offense to Corkestra, but I'm always very interested to hear what John's doing. There were a number of other events, including yours, I would have happily attended and likely enjoyed, but I would've been most anticipating Tilbury/Dafeldecker et al.

The two times I went, 1999 & 2001, there were always a few shows by people I'd never heard of that proved excellent, so not for that reason...

Sure, but it just buggs me people refer to that set as Tilbury, and not as Kurzman or Wishart or Dafeldecker.
Anyway, I was as curious as you where! :-)

Oh that was just shorthand; too lazy to type out all those weird, long Austrian names.
