hamilton Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 SFJazz Collective is well worth checking out. You'll have to check their web page to see who's a part of the band this year, but there are always a few big names in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 How many people do you think will stay for the entire 24 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 This would probably be a great candidate for a live stream on YouTube, Twitch or Periscope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 So, who's going tonight? I'll be there but I might be arriving a bit late. I hope they don't open the show with all their big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I was there just after noon and dude wasn't quite open in that plaza. I'm heading down and hoping traffic and parking on the east side of the canal ain't a pain. #sinkhole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I learned today that I needed to request a pass for the NAC Theatre performances way earlier than I had thought. I asked today about the show and was told that they'd see what they could do. It would be a popular show and entry would be unlikely. An hour later I had an email with an e-ticket from the super kind media rep. I was let in just before gold pass holders, to my surprise, and grabbed an aisle seat in the front row. Photographers were instructed that we had 20 minutes (1 song lol) to get what we needed and to take our seats. The caveat was once that we parked for photos, we couldn't move. I noticed from the seat that I would have a very tight frame to shoot with so I moved over to the far left aisle (centre aisles were banned) and sat on a stair. I had one angle, but was able to get a good sense of the stage, albeit with little composition options. I'd only heard of Kamasi the last month or so as people continually mentioned him as a show to catch. I spaced until today, but was glad I asked and showed up with a camera. After about 15 minutes from the opening blasts, I sat down with my seat neighbours and had many mind-blowing moments as he cycled through the musicians and gave them some time to show off their own compositions. Kamasi is a great MC for a show. Lots of personal stories, punched up with humour, connecting him with everyone in the band, including his father who joined them for about 1/2 the set on flute and soprano sax (or a form of clarinet?).

phorbesie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Fantastic shot Mike! what an awesome show. Loved the songs, loved the stories. So funny, great storyteller. The epic songs reminded me of Pharaoh Sanders at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't know what happened to that 'slideshow'. It's not working now. I embedded flickr images and it either linked to the gallery or I could flip through the photos in the post.

"The band will play as a soundtrack to the 1919 silent slapstick comedy The Oyster Princess (directed by Ernst Lubitsch), itself a landmark for delightful excess in the ridiculous."
