Seems like only yesterday

The Grey Eagle Jazz is Dead 8:10/2024 Oooooo- this was absolute a groove moving time. I just love the way Alphonso Johnson lays down a strong funky bass line. Just scrumptious. And he’d go REAL deep with those notes. Pretty wild he’s a founding member of Jazz is Dead and was in Weather Report Suite, playing with Wayne Shorter- if you haven’t seen that biopic of Shorter’s I recommend it. I rode rail first set and the whole hall was soooo quiet when they were playing- hardly a whisper!!! Savored. Kimock’s amp was turnt up and a little too much for sustained proximity. Second set- the booze kicked in and loosened audience tongues- bleh. But overall better than most crowds!! (Alcohol is evil unless it is a beautiful a work of art like Veuve Clicquot; wow, the story behind that one!! Barbe- Nicole Clicquot was a bad ass!! ) My first love is dancing forever and always; last night I shook off the grind of work and felt free. And that is priceless. such weird times Heavy energies around. Kimock’s guitar sound was quite lovely and created serene places, delicately and thoughtfully sketched out. He actually smiled some! Glad I made the trip up and back home . Nice dinner with shellfish beignets that were to die for!!! Show was about 3 hours long. Box Playin Lost Saint Terrapin Suite! HSF Stella Bertha What sounded like Fame to me-> MNS -> Fame.

Cough, Jerry’s Birthday, cough

The last “I guess it doesn’t matter, anyway” before the solo. The MSG run Sept 87 comes to mind. And that solo is shot out of a cannon and filled with rocket fuel.
