NYC Jazz TBDB meetup?

Kevin Hsieh · #1 11-08-2008, 03:50 PM

Anyone interested in meeting up? I love a lot of you guys here and it'd be cool to get together and trade opinions in person rather than online. I'd love to see your basses too.

I'm in Boston and I'd totally be down to take the bus to NYC. I don't know anything about the jazz scene in NY so it'd be pretty cool to meet some of the guys on here and pick their brains.

Keep this thought in mind Kev.
We were gonna try this a few years back and it kinda petered out. I, for one, would be up to it maybe after the hollidays.
Mr. Fuqua would ****.

In the interim, Lexi's got a gig coming up with a real nice drummer, we could stop by for a beer and to make the house look good.

Come check out my first forays into horn trios - featuring me on Double Bass and allsorts plus Stacy Dillard on Saxophones and Bruce Cox on the drums. November 18th, 8:30 til 11 PM.

Bello Sguardo is a restaurant - there is food and drinks there - we'll be playing in the basement room. Seating is limited. There is a $7 suggested donation (No, if you show up and don't pay I'm not gonna kick you out out but.......). Come hang, sit in, drink, eat....

I got a session earlier, but lets' see what consensus is, it would be nice to show some support!

Thanks Ed!

Lexi....Please look for a mail from me.

Steve Clark · #8 11-14-2008, 02:19 PM

My brother in law lives in/on Manhattan so a visit there and having my ears opened by such illustrious company would be worth the trip.

Ed Fuqua · #9 11-19-2008, 02:13 PM

Well it was a real nice show, from the not-so-Out-To-Lunch bunch. Very open approach to the 3 tunes that comprised the second set (had a session earlier) MISIRLOU (with much homage to its Middle Eastern roots) an 8 bar blues with multiple time feel shifts, and last but not least PERDIDO kicked off by Lexi playing the melody.

I hadn't heard Stacy Dillard before, some serious tenor going on there. And Bruce Cox sounding great as always. Lexi sounding really confident and relaxed and in charge. Big sound, nice arco approach (more Mediterranean than legit); a lot of fun and pretty damn exciting!

Kevin Hsieh · #10 11-19-2008, 02:29 PM

Oh man, Ihaven't been keeping track of this thread. Sorry i missed that one.

Well, I happened to see this and i couldn't resist -
The 25th I'm on tenor, although I do have David Wong on bass (along with Jeb Patton on piano and Pete VanNostrand on drums)
But on the 26th I'll be there on bass with singer/pianist Champian Fulton and drummer Fukushi Tainaka a.k.a. Fuku (Neal Miner is listed on the schedule, but he's out of town so there I am)
Come one, come all!

Mike,

I'll see you on the 25, supporting you and my buddy David.

Ed Fuqua · #16 11-20-2008, 12:21 PM

Kev - I'll get out of my session about 9 and take the 1 down, so I definitely should be there by 9:30 or so... Mike I'll see if Dan can stay out late on a school night....

Anybody else?

milomo · #17 11-21-2008, 12:38 PM

It would be great to see you guys there, thanks in advance for the support, and Fuqua, I hope you can get Dan down there.

Phil Rowan · #18 11-24-2008, 11:38 AM

Man, I have something going on tomorrow night, otherwise I'd try to make the meet up too. Maybe next time.

Kevin Hsieh · #19 11-25-2008, 01:29 AM

LAST CALL! see you cats tomorrow!

peace and love

Ed Fuqua · #20 12-01-2008, 12:39 PM

Well Dan dint make it, but Kevin and I did (Kevin's a nice cat) and it was a really happening gig. I got there a little early and got to hear Alex Cuadrado playing with "Dred" Scott (some hard ****ing music too!) and Kenny Brooks, so that was nice. Alex is looking a little peaked these days (his wife just had twins) but he sounded really wonderful.

Mike (milomo) has a TREMENDOUS sound on tenor and the band was really smoking. Mike had a wonderful solo feature (and I mean acapello solo) on BODY AND SOUL. I particularly dug the arrangement on NOBODY ELSE BUT ME with that POINCIANA groove, ain't NOBODY don't get with that!

I'm ready for the next one...
