A friend and I went to see Al Foster at Smoke in NYC. The band was Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, & Joe Martin. And it sounded every bit as wonderful as that lineup sounds. I got to talk to Al before the gig and he told me great stories about Miles Davis. What a beautiful man and master of the drums.

The Kirkland Art Center is one of the great smaller venues in the region-- it's a wonderful-sounding room with great programming, attentive audiences, and kind, exceptionally competent volunteers. And it's been the site of some of my favorite gigs in the last few months. Thanks to Monk Rowe!

Last night I got to see Bill Frisell, Thomas Morgan, and Rudy Royston at the Center for the Arts in Homer, NY. I could not have asked for a better musical experience. The band was transcendently beautiful and endlessly surprising. And the venue is just incredible. It's like a mini Ryman.
