neddyoJoey Baron was something else. Often we think of a drummer "pushing" a guitarist to mean pushing tempo. But Baron "pushed" Julian into a set full of incredible quiet & contemplation. The playing was still something to marvel at, religious even, multiple "Holy shit!" moments, but it was so gorgeous/peaceful. Seen Julian literally dozens of times, this felt very new. I think some were looking for more shredding this week, but I fucking loved it.<a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livemusic</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nyc</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jazz</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/villagevanguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#villagevanguard</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/julianlage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#julianlage</a>

neddyoSecond stop: a ridiculous band at the Vanguard this week and it totally exceeded my expectations. Drummer Johnathan Blake backed by two best-in-class tenor players in Chris Potter and Mark Turner, plus bassist Ben Street. Possibly the best playing I've seen from all four of them and the double sax was quite inventive. Killer all around.<a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nycfreaks</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livemusic</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nyc</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jazz</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/villagevanguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#villagevanguard</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/johnathanblake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#johnathanblake</a>

neddyo...and then, late set at the Vanguard with a ridic band. Guitar, sax, three (!!!) basses and two drummers. Amazingly, last time they were light and easy even with all that weight. See how it goes down tonight. Saturday is the VV's 90th birthday.

neddyoTonight: and ending the weekend with perhaps the best thing in jazz going right now. On one hand Vijay Iyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey are just another piano trio. On the other hand: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Words can't do justice to what these three do. Next level. Early set at the Village Vanguard, from my favorite seat in the back of the room, with excellent company this evening.<a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nycfreaks</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livemusic</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nyc</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jazz</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/villagevanguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#villagevanguard</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/vijayiyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vijayiyer</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/tyshawnsorey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tyshawnsorey</a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/lindamayhanoh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lindamayhanoh</a>

neddyoTonight: for the 4th time this month, it's... Bill Frisell!This evening, it's back at the Vanguard for his awesome Five configuration. Which is actually both of his main trios mashed together, double drums/double bass style, like a secret menu item at In N Out.

neddyoTonight: Frisell month continues with 3rd of 4 August sets. The Four again, featuring Blake, Clayton, Tardy, perhaps more appropriate at the Vanguard vs the hot afternoon Newport.

neddyoTonight (#3): I think I've arrived insofar as the guy who (usually) runs the door at the Village Vanguard not only recognizes me, but knows my name. Took 25 years, but finally earned the respect I so desperately crave. I also now have a preferred regular seat here, perfect for jazzdozing.

neddyoFinally: somehow it's pouring out, so the easy walk from the Stone to the Vanguard was a little more cold-soaked than I was expecting, but my guess is that Brad F'in Mehldau will be as cozy as I hope.
