Last night I got to see Julian Lage in very close proximity at the Stone, accompanying the legendary Greg Cohen on bass. Special stuff.
There really is no place like the Stone. A perfect music venue in almost every way.

Tonight: haven't seen anyone over the past 4 years as much as Marta Sanchez and I don't think I've loved anyone more over that period than I've loved Bill Frisell, but I do not believe I'd ever seen them together before tonight. Needless to say, it was sublime. Trio set at the Stone with Ingrid Laubrock. As with everything in that room could've gone a million ways, but was a total lighter-than-air bliss-out. Three musicians in constant, sweet-nothing conversation with each other. Everything I dreamed it could be and then some. Perfection!

Tonight: when a friend asks you to be their dance partner at the Parcels show, hard to say no. Very fun show, actually! Band was quite good, lots of good songs, bordered on the serious cheese at times, a few too many "make some noise, NYC!" for my taste, but I think the enthusiasm was genuine. Sound was all over the place, at various times evoking Daft Punk, The Slip (seriously!), Backstreet Boys, and more. Gorgeous mid-autumn night for outdoors music in Queens.

Tonight: not sure there's a funkier thing going these days than Daniel Villarreal. Also not sure how he's not packing every room he plays when he comes to town, but that's why I'm not in the biz. But it's more than just funk and I'm more than happy to have more space. This time his band crushing it at the quadrophonic Public Records, just a short walk from home, lucky me. Sizzling Wednesday night. These guys are just so so good.

Tonight: I feel like if I tried to describe this Thievery Corporation show to you, it'd sound like the most annoying thing ever. But they have *just* the right amount of about 20 different things and, what can I say, it just works. Enjoying this one quite a bit in the end. A worldly dance-o-rama from the royal box at Terminal 5.

Tonight: fascinating set of solo piano from the maestro Uri Caine. Masterfully created musical collages using bits and pieces of melodies familiar and foreign, jazz and classical and pop and all the microsubgenres in between. Great stuff.

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!

Tonight: French disco artisans L'Imperatrice came through NYC last spring and played a packed Racket. Twas a great show, but they've returned for 2 nights in a much larger room and the production and sound are impressive. Serious synthfunk dance party at Terminal 5.

Tonight: Mary Halvorson and Peter Evans in guitar/trumpet duo at the Stone. Like two people who speak very different languages figuring out how to communicate. Fascinating combination of tones and textures. Halvorson's guitar grew increasingly enchanting as the set unfolded.

Tonight: wonderful night of improvisation at the Stone. I am such a big fan of Marta Sanchez's playing, loved hearing her generous, warm piano leading a free flowing set of pure improv. With Nicole Glover on tenor and Val Jeanty on cool electronic percussion. It was adventurous and challenging while managing to stay soft and manageable. Not an easy feat!

Tonight: loved guitarist Jon Madof for a long time, from Rashanim to Zion80 to Blivet, but opportunities to see him are kind of few and far between. Remembering why I'm such a fan seeing his brand new trio shred things to bits at the Stone. Perfect high octane spirituality for the season.

Tonight: shut out at the Vanguard, so short stroll to the Stone. They had the shades drawn and the lights low and red, uncharacteristically vibey for an out there set from trumpeter Peter Evans in duo with percussionist extraordinaire Cyro Baptista. Not a bad consolation.

Tonight: mesmerizing set from Sera Serpa at the Stone. Playing music from a film on Portuguese colonialism (!) Serpa's haunting, mostly lyric-less vocals enhanced by a fantastic band of the inestimable Mark Turner, go-to weirdo Qasim Naqvi, and personal fave Marta Sanchez. Only at the Stone!

Tonight: deep summertime'n with the ever-fabulous Bonny Light Horseman. Feels a long way from their first gig over at Rockwood. But also the same. Finding beauty in the imperfections at Music Hall of Williamsburg.

Tonight: first:: Seen Thomas Morgan many times, but always backing someone (oftentimes Bill Frisell). Think this is the first time he's leading things, all week at the Stone. Tonight in a cool duo with drummer-of-the-moment Johnathan Blake. This is some hep shit.

Tonight (#2): hard to resist coming back to the Stone and Ben Goldberg, with a completely different, but no less ridiculous, band is displaying a totally different type of genius. Through the wormhole of western music and out the other side. So awesome.
-
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: L'Imperatrice, disco music from France at Racket. Lots of fun, first of two sold out and already sold out the much larger T5 in the fall. Guess they're not a secret. If you're young enough, judging from the crowd. Got to miracle someone outside, too, which was nice.

Tonight: Stop 1:: Daniel Villarreal is a freakin groove merchant. More people should be talking about this funky awesomeness. The Chicago drummer and his band laying it down at Public Records on a Wednesday night.
