July 29, 2008

I'm a day or so late in posting the list for the July 29th show. Apologies to anyone who was waiting:

"Here and now" - Joel Haynes Trio + Seamus Blake (Transitions)
"Intercosmosis" - Sun Ra (Heliocentric worlds vol. 3)
"Hush hush" - Heather Blush and the Uppercuts (Vice)
"Samba de Orpheus" - Vince Guaraldi Trio (Jazz expressions of Black Orpheus)
"King Tut's strut" - Stefon Harris & Blackout (Evolution)
"American dreams" - Charlie Haden with Michael Brecker (American dreams)
"Still in my own prison" - Simon Fisk/Chris Gestrin/Jerry Granelli (Vague hotels)
"Karibu" - Lionel Loueke (Karibu)
"Song of the morrow" - Collin Walcott (Works)
"Cure all" - Robert Walter (Cure all)
"Pritzin'" - Andy Fusco Quintet (Out of the dark)
"Darkest hour" - Mark Dejong (The unknown)
"The dog" - The People's Band and Congress of Musicians (B.J. Levy presents The People's Band and Congress of Musicians)
"Supper's ready" - Damian Nisenson Trio + 3 (En concert)
"Mechanique populaire" - L'Orkestra Des Pas Perdus (Project 9)
"Return of the prodigal son" - Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band (Season of changes)
"Night life" - Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis (Two men with the blues)
"Scattering of the following" - Bill Dixon (17 musicians in search of a sound: Darfur)
"Eyes in the back of my head" - Cosmologic (Eyes in the back of my head)
"Shivers" - New Guitar Summit (Shivers)
"Set the alarm for Monday" - Bobby Previte and the New Bump (Set the alarm for Monday)
"Hostage release party" - Rabnett 5 (Dan's party)

For some reason, I played a fair number of title tracks on this show e.g. three out of the final four pieces were title tracks (all but the Rabnett 5 tune). I've been doing this a lot recently. No idea why.

Faves this week include "King Tut's strut" by Stefon Harris & Blackout (though I wasn't fussed about the rest of the album that it comes from, Evolution) and "Still in my own prison" by Fisk/Gestrin/Granelli. Also, anything by Bobby Previte is always good.
