Caught a *quite* with-child Marta Sanchez tonight for probably the last time for a while. Glad I made it because she was in top form doing all the things that make her so special to me. In quartet with Alexandra Ridout, Carmen Quill, and Miguel Russell, late set at Zinc Bar. Sometimes it's nice to jazznap in a swankyish room. And sometimes it's nice when the Monday night late set starts at 8:30.

Caught the newest John Zorn project last night at National Sawdust. It's called Flatlands, the band is Matt Hollenberg on guitar, Simon Hanes on bass, and Ches Smith on drums, and it's probably the most exciting new Zorn music in many years (which is saying something!). Blistering combo of metal, funk, and that Zorn/Dreamers sound. Absolute incendiary set. I don't even know if they played more than 40 minutes, but it was such an overwhelming set, it felt like 6 hours worth of ideas and music.
Hopefully they play more soon and on the reg.
Whoa!

Then finally over to Manhattan for Mark Guiliana at the Vanguard. The dude is just an inhuman drummer. Nothing more to be said. Played all new (unnamed) material with his stellar band, but really just comes down to trying to piece together what MG is doing on drums. I had to give up because it was breaking my brain. Thankfully he also writes a great song. Amazing stuff at the VV.

Tonight: my third straight "special" Monday livemusic. This time the final Energy Curfew thingamajig of this winter run with the Punch Brothers and (awesome) guests I'm With Her and Amos Lee. Worth enduring the corny jokes for the fantastic music. Lots of cool moments at the Minetta Lane Theatre.

More importantly, this show and the people I hung out with that night and the amazing, debaucherous fun we all had was the impetus to finally start the NYC Freaks email list, an idea I'd been kicking around for a while. The rest, as they say, is livemusic history. More on that later...

1/18/2000: Justice League of America at Wetlands
25 years ago tonight, the first show in NedBase™ for the year 2000. Justice League of America was one of those jambandy supergroups that were probably contractually obligated to play the Wetlands. As far as these things go, the talent was pretty high B-list with Jimmy Herring on guitar, T Lavitz on keys, Adam Nitti on bass and Richie Hayward on the kit. Cool covers and heady jams, what's not to like?

Tonight: brilliant Argentinian mastergroover Juana Molina, the kind of singular talent that you feel lucky to be able to see live, especially here in the US. And feeling very lucky to be catching her for the 4th time at Sultan Room, nominally solo, it's like she's got 4 different musician's brains in one, awesome digitally-enhanced guitar, keys, vocals, true art unlike anything else I've heard... And you can dance to it.

Tonight: first time up to the Tarrytown Music Hall and well worth the drive. Madison Cunningham + Juana Molina. I love both of them and expected two great sets. Instead a masterful single set featuring both solo and duo. Cunningham's music so beautiful, Molina's anything but, somehow they fit together perfectly. What a great show!
