Notes

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

  • Tonight's gig seemed really under rehearsed to me: lots of hand signalling and long, aimless solos.
  • WLS hardly played at all, and what he contributed didn't really fit in that well: like adding hot peppercorns to vanilla ice cream.
  • The show was billed as a tribute to the Jazz Epistles, but it didn't seem to me as if they played any of the hard bop repertoire of that band: instead, the pieces sounded to me like the newer chamber jazz compositions that Abdullah Ibrahim has been performing for the past few years.

Andrew Gilbert posted an informative promo article about the run for KQED.
