my NEXT concert will be within hopscotch festival where I plan to see SPOON.
Long Live PUNK ROCK!
The concert I've mentioned wasn't really last, but latest. Plan to go for Ian Anderson this October.
I'm also with ones who likes Los Lobos! You should also listen to Matt Bianco especially if you've never heard it.
It's similar new-wave with ethnic influence.
My next concert in Montreal QC Anjelique Kidjo followed by
Mike Stern(Blood Sweat & Tears guitarist) than John Patitucci and finally Bill Frisell on my upcomming Canadian vacation.
It was a nice walk from Rue St-Dennis via Square St-Louis and than via pedestrian only Rue Prince Arthur full of great restaurants, cafe and great free live music in front of them. After pleasant dinner continue going towards Rue Saint-Urbain to reach the heart of Montreal Jazz Festival where 2 theatres Jean-Duceppe and Massoneuve connect into one Place-Des-Art for dream performance of Danilo Perez, Brian Blade and John Pattitucci.

The concert was fabulous. The venue, sound, light, atmosphere, the MUSIC was magnet. Extream virtuoso performance blended onto the great sound with no mentioned earlier before decibel level issues. That sound just blended equally and proportioinally in the whole venue.
The style is unique, but yet it's a great blend of all jazz styles you can ever think of: latin, fusion, swing, space jazz -- another words it's a free jazz trio.
From what I saw with tip of my eye venue uses Meyer Sound arrays that could be passive and active which I could not ID. This theater is also known for great seat elevation and tight bond to the performers and stage. A must venue to the Montreal traveler indeed!
My latest concert in Montreal was at Gesu 6/30, the auditorium bellow the temple hall with outstanding acoustics. I'm still under huge impression from excellent jazz duo Ambrose Akimusire with Bill Frisell. Ambrose is our today's young talent awarded for the best jazz solo in 2007. The concert hall had no PA system and only had recording mikes. The blend reminded me trio of Nils Peter Molvaer, but the music and style was totally different from most of famous trumpet players. I believe Ambrose brought new array of unique jazz compositions played with unique style. He started with solo that got the whole auditorium stalled in place without movig. Bill Frisell used his Telecaster with his array of electronic processors, pedals and 2x Fender Princeton Reverb amps
Thanks Ambrose and Bill. Will be joy to listen both again and again if chance is there!
I saw DEATH this Saturday at Raleigh City Plaza. First they visited our store and sold records/posters/Tees and than tney gave us guest passes.
It was incredible show. This band should've been heard a very long time ago when they formed in Detroit in 1975. Their first record was released only in 2009.
Schubert, I've been in Minnesota Orchestra hall in 2010 and saw Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg performing 4-seasons Piazzolla tango version of Vivaldi. I believe this venue is substantially superior acoustically to Carnegie Hall in NYC. I enjoyed performance and enjoyed the sound as well.
I figured that I haven't seen last concert yet. It always will be...
My next one I'm going to see DakhaBrakha. Tube'em and love'em. They're just super great.
Sat 4/25...Sun 4/26 Snarky Puppy as part of ArtsOfCool festival in Durham at The Armory. Outstanding jazz-funk-fusion big band from Brooklyn NY. They're now moving to Stockholm for good
Prior went to see Alan Hampton/Gretchen Parlato and was dissapointed. Something happened to Alan not catching loop, jumping off the key and missing voice pieces often going out of sync with Gretchen! Good I had daily pass to switch quick.
