I'm pretty much fully retired from the local jazz scene, contemporary jazz in general and gig-going. Have been for a few years now.
However, I keep up to date with my mate Roger, who took over my jazz writer duties at the Sunday Herald Sun, which I left in November.
Having said that, who knows, I may pop up at the free Federation Square show by Charlie Haden and the (Australian) Liberation Orchestra that opens the festival or a few other places and times.
Oddly enough, I played the long track off the Orchestra Impulse! album on the radio on Monday, and it fitted right in superbly with the stuff I was playing - Grateful Dead cosmic cowboy tunes, spaghetti western stuff, Magnificent Seven opening theme and other goofy cowboy stuff.
It certainly seems like a strong lineup.
