I happened to see the same shows on Sunday and generally agree with the review. I did like the Frisell/Morgan set. It was nice to see a set that was like a genuine conversation. I did see some well known players do a set in NYC similar to that at the Lutheran Church and didn't get it. I was told by a local musician that I just didn't understand what they were trying to do. Unfortunately he didn't explain it to me.I guess I'm partly stuck in the Blue Note era.
A big shout out to Sax-O-Matic, whoever they are. Caught them briefly at Main and Gibbs. A really good saxophone quartet playing music for the people, bringing it to the people and spreading a lot of joy. Anybody knowing who they were or what that was about please write a comment. Will they be playing on the street all week? I'd like to catch an entire set.
