What a show! If any of you are debating seeing them, GO! I'd particularly recommend seeing them when they're not opening for Cowboy Mouth (a warm up set is too short for them), but if that is the only way you can see them, then by all means go.

I'm also heading to Jonathan Richman on Thurs, Eric Lindell on Fri and Galactic on Saturday (babysittiing bill will be through the roof, but it is worth it). Hope some of you make it out. E-mail me at jordanh@traiana.com if you are planning on attending any of these, and I'll say hi.

[tangledupinblue]

Jordan, you saw them at Mexicali? NICE! Wish I could have joined ya. DAMN IT!!!!

I will be at Galactic Friday so we will miss each other. If the show is REALLY good on Friday I may try to attend the Saturday show but my other half has to work so we chose the Friday show. Maybe we can meet for a drink on Friday??? Where is Eric playing on Friday?

[Jordan]

The Lindel show was great. How was Galactic? If any of you are going tonight say hello. I'll be the 6' 3" guy with dark hair up front with the giant smile!

[tangledupinblue]

Jordan, email me at taj4167@yahoo.com
After the show last night we decided to go tonight.

THE SHOW WAS AMAZING. Skerik was there and played a few songs. MAN, I can't wait to hear them again.

[mangoon]

Lindel Show was awsome!!! I know I'm preaching to the chior but if you haven't had a chance to see him, get out there and make the plans.

[Freakwinox]

Shannon McNally is also at the Stanhope House (NJ) on Friday 3/2. She's with John Ginty Band - who was Robert Randolph's original keyboard player...before he became a *pop* star.

Stanhope House is about 75 min from NYC via Rte 80. $10 cover.

[Jordan]

So who's in for Mofro tonight? If you are, come and say hey. I'll be up front in black jeans and clogs and a red shirt.

[GratefulDawg]

I don't know if you want to include South Mississippi musicians in this list, but Cary Hudson (formerly of Blue Mountain) will be playing two gigs in the NYC area:

3/29 - Lakeside Lounge
3/30 - Pete's Candy Store (Brooklyn)

He plays some damn fine country blues.

I will try to be at the Antibalas show (not sure how that's N.O. based, but they are outstanding, nonetheless) and ReBirth!

[tangledupinblue]

So who's in for Mofro tonight? If you are, come and say hey. I'll be up front in black jeans and clogs and a red shirt.

Wish I could make it. I will see them at Langerado so I am not so bummed but that will be a great show. Have a great time!

We are going to Oteil and Backyard Tire Fire tomorrow at Lions Den.

[Jordan]

Mofro was a really good show. They've added a horn section. Anyone heading over to Holly Go Lightly tonight? How about Chris Smither or Shannon McNally tomorrow? Another upcoming gig I'm looking forward to is Nadine Goellner @ Canalroom on Monday. Youshould check her out -- she can write and sing! Nadineg.com (http://Nadineg.com)

[tangledupinblue]

Heading to Florida for Langerado. Have fun everyone at Anders this week-end and the other shows....

[Jordan]

Afroskull in Brooklyn this Friday is my next destination. Anyone in?

[Jordan]

Next up: Rebirth on Thursday at Lion's Den and Big Sam on Saturday at Crash Mansion - anyone in?

[tangledupinblue]

Never been to Crash Mansion. We are heading to Tea Leaf Green at Irving.

[tangledupinblue]

Jordan, what is Crash Mansion like? Do you think Big Sam will sell out?

[Jordan]

won't sell out. It's very swank compared to the Lion's den. Smaller too.

[Freakwinox]

Saw Bonerama in Philly last night - at Ortliebs Jazz Haus - now that was tiny! - couldn't fit everyone on stage. Bert Cotton was relegated to the "kids table". Can't get enough of hearing them play The Ocean. Cool venue.

Tonight its onto Tea Leaf Green at Irving Plaza.

[Jordan]

Thanks for hanging. How was the second night? Did Scrapomatic get the National guitar to work on Saturday? Did the Allman's sit in?

[denideadhead]

didn't get to go Sat. I heard Warren's roadie set up his amp and his sunburst guitar but Warren never came by to play it....

[Freakwinox]

Wasn't there Saturday but heard the Allmans did show up.

[Freakwinox]

For those not at Fest, Dr John is at the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival on Sunday, May 6. Free Admission

The Hoboken festival ends at 6 pm so that would seem a pretty quick turnaround from being at the CAC on Saturday.

[TheGuzilla]

anyone else going for some pre-Jazz Fest thrills? I believe we're going at least Friday with a group and perhaps Saturday also...

Saw Dr. John & Wynton last night at Jazz At Lincoln Center... Definitely got me in the mood, counting down the minutes now!

[TheGuzilla]

apologies, neglected to mention The Radiators are playing next weekend - Friday & Saturday April 20 & 21. Lion's Den is 214 Sullivan betw. Bleecker & 3rd.

and for those who haven't been, it's a TINY venue (in a good way) - should be a great show...

Will most likely be at the Rads though may save the money (need a new camera lens before jazzfest) and wait till Sunday when they come to CT.
HOW WAS DR JOHN & WYNTON? I was going to go but W&*K got in the way. Was the good Doctor's band there ?or he did he play with Wyntons? A brief review pls?

[TheGuzilla]

CT.
HOW WAS DR JOHN & WYNTON? I was going to go but W&*K got in the way. Was the good Doctor's band there ?or he did he play with Wyntons? A brief review pls?

Where in CT are they playing? Going to "Gathering of the Vibes" in Bridgeport in August?

Dr. John & Wynton were both great, as always. However, a couple points. Jazz at Lincoln Center (jalc.org) is a very high-end house of jazz, for right or wrong. Basically, Wynton's ivory tower here in NYC. Some great stuff comes out of it, particularly around education, but when someone with the amount of raw grit that Dr. John can muster comes through, it shows how scrubbed the place is.

Now, with that caveat, Dr. John & the Lower 911 band played a solid, intense 50 minute set that had people standing & clapping along (but you could tell the sound was configured for Wynton). They brought Wynton out for a Mardi Gras medley and the drummer joked, "Tell him there's no per diem."

Always great to see The Night Tripper, but I still prefer the show I saw at HOB several Jazz Fests ago that started at 4:00am -- his music was more comfortable there...

Then there was a brief intermission while they set up for Wynton. Wynton's quintet came out, with a woman spoken word artist (whose name I missed as she was the understudy) and a "young genius" tap dancer. Yes, he was!

Wynton debuted a piece he co-wrote with Maya Angelou about the history of African-American music. Really powerful and empowering poetry, great interpretations of blues & jazz and the tap dancer brought the house down. Their hour flew by as well...

A great night all in all, and DEFINITELY got me fired up for The Fest!

[trixie]

Did anyone catch Buddy Guy Easter Sunday at Mohegan Sun Casino? My in-laws left to late for me to catch the show.
Headed to Providence on Thursday for Harry Connick. Yea!

[Jordan]

Anyone heading to Afroskull tomorrow night at the Parkside? I hope to be there.

[tangledupinblue]

Was possibly doing soulive at Bowery but nothing positive yet.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE EXPANDED REVIEW
It really was cool that you did that:)
Rads at Contes Fish Market Westport CT Sunday 4/22 a block from Metro North and a very chill intimate venue,with Abita Amber on Tap....I highly recommend it !!! The Rads typically stay at the Four Points Sheraton RTE 7 Norwalk and JC keeps the bar open if you are drivin and staying:)or you can jump back on the train show over by 11:30 or so back to the city

[tangledupinblue]

Anyone heading to Afroskull tomorrow night at the Parkside? I hope to be there.

So I showed up there last night and they had played much earlier. Very strange.....Jordan, did you end up going to this?

I also saw soulive...sold out show....
