secondtube Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 October 2, 2004 Afro Cuban All Stars Nov 3, 2004 Chick Corea ELEKTRIC BAND Dec 5, 2004 Keith JARRETT, Gary Peacock, Jack DEJOHNETTE (best drummer i've ever seen, only person even close would be Copeland) Mar 4, 2005 Herbie HANCOCK, Roy hargrove, Michael Brecker, DIRECTIONS IN MUSIC (again...) If anyone is looking to go to any of these shows, lemme know. I'll be hitting all of them, and wouldn't mind some company for one or two shows... I can get a second ticket for any of them if you want. I got Friend of Massey Hall First, so i'll be able to get the first five or so rows (maybe front row, probably balcony, i LOVE front row balcony) to most of those shows... They aren't cheap though...They'll all be 100ish dollar a ticket shows... If your not sure which'll be the best one, i'd say if you HAVE seen herbie already, check out the Chick Corea Elektric Band! Sweet Massey Hall! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I may be up for the Corea show thats for sure.I'll buy my own ticket through the usual channels though.Kind offer though.When are they on sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm too lazy for google. Who's playing with Chick Corea in the Elektrik band? Ditto the Jack deJohnette....I can't name the Mclaughlin album that's he's on (likely more than one) but he's distinctive. Brian Blade was also mindblowing at the Herbie Hancock show in Ottawa.

secondtube Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 well jack played in the Herbie Trio, i saw them last February i think, it was the best show i've seen this year so far... As for who's playing with Chick. He's back with the original Elektric band lineup...going from memory, so disregard the spelling, i'd say this is his lineup: bass: John Patituci drummer: Dave Weckl guitarist: Frank Gambale saxophonist: Eric Marental keyboards/piano: Some Punk.

Esau Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 When are they on sale? No listing on the Massey Hall website yet or Chick Corea's website either. But there is a listing on Frank Gambale's website. After borrowing that Corea disc from Kenny,sorta converted me over,I would love to catch this show.

FattyMagee Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 That is wicked for you TO folks! I have seen Keith Jarret Trio three times, and each time was more amazingly beautiful than words could ever say. It would be incredible to do all three, but I just had to encourage folks who maybe don't know too much about Keith Jarrett to go check him out. Keyboardists should really check them all out. Man I wish I could do all of them. STAMOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'd be in for Chick Corea... been a Return to Forever fan for a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Doh! FattyMagee, you got me wanting to check-out Keith Jarret now too! Does anyone know if Herbie does any of his electronic 70's stuff anymore - I would kill to see that... literally, or is he basically staying in the more traditional jazz (which is still fantastic).

secondtube Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 This herbie show will contain no electric funky stuff... the Directions In Music is a cd produced by that group, and is probably available at your local library. Check it out. You might like it...but its Far From Funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 the chick corea elektrik band tape i have really sucks. it's really really crappy. it was the studio album. i can not stress how much of a let down the music on it was. earthfreak/moose (the lovely caroline fric) got it for me. the thought was totally nice and it was great to get a tape for the car...but it's really sh!tty. i thought it'd rock because the talent's awesome...pattitucci and weckl? come on awesome...you'd think. if i was going to gamble with which show would be awesome, i'd say hit up the standards trio (jarrett, peacock, and dejohnette) - that's one of the best jazz groups ever to play a note and i'd say that they rank about evenly with the cool era of miles with mr. coltrane on sax...bold statement but they pretty much bankrolled so many other ECM artists. without these guys you wound't see so namy records come from ECM. if you're gonna hit one show and aren't sure about much jazz, go see keith jarrett. i want to go to that show. it'll likely be the most spellbinding show you'll see this year...slip montreal included.
