    Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" (Sher Music Co.)

    I had a great time at the Ottawa show.

    Different yet complimentary writing/playing/singing/on-stage styles.

    Lyle composes compelling material rather devoid of cliches/conventions (yet still familiar), while Hiatt more embraces the cliches/conventions while slyly subverting them - if that makes any sense...

    A band called 3 Jimmys, yet with no one named Jimmy? A band whose lead singer also plays singing bowls? A band that covers everyone from Sly and the Family Stone to Zippity Doodah? What are you waiting for? --Peter Hum, "Critics' Picks" Ottawa Citizen, May 26/07

    TV schedule was wrong - show started at 11pm not 11:30pm and it was Gretchen Wilson and some other' date=' not Crowded House. [/quote']

    You were watching a different affiliate. Crowded House was on the HD PBS channels.

    OK - though Crowded House was listed as being on ACL in the local TV schedule (Ottawa cable channel 64).

  15. Rolling Stone Mag - Top 25 Live Albums

    Do you think any of those albums should bump-out the one's that are already listed... with all due respect?

    I love Albert King's Live Wire or The Quintet Jazz at Massey Hall or even Live Evil, but I don't think RS looks to jazz and blues too much, let alone 70's metal or art rock. Although the idea of Focus making the list makes me shudder.

    They're simply in my best all time live recordings. ;) Yup, and all from my youth (and guitar based).

    I think cases could be made for both the Deep Purple and Johnny Winter records - both popular, important. The Free is an unappreciated gem, but very influential.

    'Course RS focuses as much (or more) on cultural import than musical import.

    Yeah, Focus is silly, but Akkerman's on fire on that disc. ;)

  22. Linsey Wellman / Mike Essoudry CD Release tonight...

    From Linsey:

    On Thursday, November 22nd, Mike Essoudry and I will finally be releasing our disc. I, for one, am pretty excited about the whole thing, and I hope that you'll be able to make it out to help us celebrate. The show will be at the Avant Garde Bar (135 1/2 Besserer) and will start at 8:00pm (a little earlier than our usual time). There will be a $5 cover charge.

    The show will feature:

    Mike Essoudry - drums, percussion, clarinet

    Linsey Wellman - alto/soprano saxophones, bass clarinet

    about the album:

    In their first album together, Linsey Wellman (alto/soprano saxophone) and Mike Essoudry (drums/percussion) combine to explore the possibilities of tone, rhythm and melody. Over thirteen tracks and nearly an hour, they embrace stasis and movement, meditation and exuberance, delicacy and amplitude. Their improvisations and compositional sketches look both forward and back, to the ever new possibilities of instant creation, and to sounds, themes and evocations as old as humanity itself.
