I've been loving the new Memorials record (great rec from the seldom-misses @liffy), one of those duos that sound like a six-piece. Wasn't sure how it'd translate live but, whoa! what a fucking show they put on at Union Pool. Rare time I wish I was closer so I could see what they were doing on stage. Obviously using loops and live samples, but never really felt like it, if I didn't know any better, sounded like a full band on stage. The dude played drums and guitar + sang harmony and the woman sang lead and played synths and saxophone and it was such a killer, danceable psych art rock. There were these intervals of sound collage weirdness and a few songs of kind of Britfolk and it was all just *brilliant*. The fact that there was live drums seemed like the key, when he switched to guitar, there were no drums at all which totally worked and when he returned to the kit it was like this sick beat drop. Anyway, go see them if they come your way. Bought a shirt!

Tonight: wild-eyed free form fitting the day's mood. Tim Berne in his usual spot at Lowlands, tonight with a banger of a band: Nels f'in Cline, Elias Stemeseder, and Tom f'in Rainey. Taking things very very deep at Lowlands on a snowy Thursday night. Also Bill Frisell is here and that makes me happy.

Tonight: you never know what you're going to get at the Stone or how you'll get it. With Jorge Roeder and Nels Cline it was nearly everything imaginable in all the ways. Stellar two-man freeform, Nels was peak Nels, unhinged and then some, Roeder just as impressive. Flabbergasting and more. How freakin lucky I am!

So awesome that there's space at this festival for a set like this in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. The live debut of Saccata Quartet, two drums, guitar, and bass. Nels Cline at his most untethered, Chris Corsano Corsano'n pretty hard, Glenn Kotche fully freeform and Darin Grey on no-rules bass. Wild shit, with some moments of serious transcendence, when it only really takes one.

Tonight: higher plane freeform with four masters of their craft. Ben Goldberg with Nels f'in Cline, Trevor damn! Dunn, and Tom bleepin' Rainey. At the Stone, obviously.

Tonight: absolutely perfect piano trio loveliness from Aaron Parks in a killer trio with Thomas Morgan & Nasheet Waits. Their first time playing together tonight, I caught the Tuesday late set at the Vanguard. So good, here all week.
