Next Freaks Day Out is on Sunday and should be killer. If you're Brooklyn or Brooklyn-adjacent and love sick jamming in a chill outdoor setting, come hang!

Tonight: somehow saw my 2nd of 3 "play the full album" shows in a single week. How is that possible? This one was Grandaddy playing Sophtware Slump in full in celebration of its 25th anniversary. 25?? How is that possible? Holds up pretty well! Then a short second set of other stuff. Pretty strong show, good not great, but good is good!, at Brooklyn Steel.
Opener Greg Freeman had a cool indie rock thing, band included both sax and pedal steel which gave it some interesting sonic avenues. Will seek him out for sure (his newest album is not bad!).

Tonight: caught two semi-regular residencies I've never seen before, I believe both occur first Monday of every month. Both vastly exceeded expectations.
First was a mostly-improvising quartet called Musics at Barbes, two brothers on electric guitars and the killer bass/drum combo of Chris Tordini and Jason Nazary. Like the child of Elkhorn and Wayne Krantz. Wowza, should've been checking this one out more regularly.

Twas a gorgeous day for livemusic'n in Brooklyn. Caught several shows with multiple stops at Barbès for various levels of weirdness, culminating in a rare visit from Todd Sickafoose, playing new Tiny Resistors songs with Steve Cardenas, Adam Levy, and the always-fabulous Allison Miller. The peak moments were rather peak.
Also a trip to deep BK for an Operation Gig show, one of the great holdovers from pandemic DIY gigs.

Tonight: Barbès early show, same exact band for Oscar Noriega as last week except with Marta Sanchez back and it's like night and day. Loose and furious. So good. Doesn't feel fair that this is a weekly occurrence.

I'm emotionally swinging between total uncertainty at work, anger and despair at {everything}, and complete distracted joy from livemusic. Not sure it's sustainable, but TGIF, I guess?
Happyplace'd at Barbès for now at least...

Happy Friday from the happy hour gang at Barbes, may the weekend be restful and next week less horrifying.

Then: short walk up to Barbès and who wouldn't? One of my favorite new local jammers is Tsons of Tsunami. I believe Billy Martin might be a permanent member now. Simon Haynes' band has a uniquely excellent sound and a free spirit. I've said it before, but every time reconfirmed, it's Zappa meets Zorn.

Tonight: another weekend upon us. Back to Barbès for Oscar Noriega with an oversized band sounding so good. Still the best thing going...

Tonight: no Noriega, no problem. Just the trio this evening at Barbes: Marta Sanchez center stage and pretty marvelous. Backed by Chris Tordini (second night in a row seeing him on bass) and Jason Nazary. Happy Friday, friends.
-
Tonight: what, you thought I wasn't starting my weekend at Barbès? Oscar Noriega with a heavy, heavy band this week. Full sextet strength including masters Matt Mitchell, Ches Smith and Tim Berne. Kinda ridiculous, but... lucky me!

Tonight: interesting configuration for the Crooked Quartet tonight. First off, it's a quintet. Second, in lieu of piano, there's guitar, which I don't think I've seen. And it's the master Miles Okazaki. You never know what you're gonna get, but always worth the early Friday journey.

Tonight: final Friday of the year so there's no choice but to take in one more week-ending happy hour set at Barbes. Oscar Noriega's Crooked Quartet for the 16th (!?) time in 2024. With Marta Sanchez, Tim Angulo, Simon Willson. Lovely meets powerful.

Tonight: few good choices tonight, opted to start at Barbes for my second time with Jon Madof's new trio. Really loving this group, brings together a lot of the strengths of some of his other projects, especially the much-missed Rashanim. These guys kind of crush it. (saw Jon at the Masada show Sunday, he sounds like he got some of that Lage inspiration).

Made my move to leave at the break and then I saw Chris Potter walk in with his horn (bass clarinet!) and thought maybe I should, uh, stay.

Tonight: feels like we're here every Friday, but haven't caught Oscar Noriega at Barbes for 2 months. Cozy af.

Tonight: paradoxically, the only better way to end a workweek than Oscar Noriega at Barbes is when Oscar is out and leaves the slot to his regulars like the transcendent Marta Sanchez. Easing in the weekend in trio with the equally resplendent Rahsaan Carter and Jason Nazary.

Tonight: the Halloween show I probably 'should' be going to, but kind of don't think I can deal with, is "fortuitously" sold out, so I'm currently anti-spooky'n it with a delightful guitar duo set from Adam Levy and Grant Gordy. Playing old school jazz standards with plenty of high-skill embellishment at Barbès. Happy how this worked out.

Tonight: it's Friday, so yadda yadda. Same shit, different week, but you never know and so here we have Ravi Coltrane (!!) sitting in for the second set at Barbes with Oscar Noriega and Co. Coltrane is headlining the Vanguard next week, but tonight he's in a dingy back room in Park Slope. Best city ever, man.

Tonight: NYC livemusic'n is my religion and early eves with Oscar Noriega at Barbes are my Friday night services. The perfect segue from week to weekend every time.

Tonight: next, a stop at Barbes for the last early eve residency set for Tsons of Tsunami, again with special guest Billy Martin. These guys freakin rule, highly creative and deeply groovy. Once again... wow!

Tonight: couldn't resist a side jaunt to Barbès before bed. There are many many regular residencies in town (#resideNYC) that I adore, but I think Mandingo Ambassadors at Barbes late every Wednesday may move my soul the most of all of them. Sometimes there are literally two people here, but tonight a full house and the biggest version of the band I've seen yet. Pure musical sunshine.
