Steve - just for asking, Henry Kaiser's just doing the two Rhizome dates?

Ran into a friend @ Progday who is very interested in seeing him (the phrase "bucket list" might even have been used) but isn't exactly in the neighborhood.

Steve - just for asking, Henry Kaiser's just doing the two Rhizome dates?

Ran into a friend @ Progday who is very interested in seeing him (the phrase "bucket list" might even have been used) but isn't exactly in the neighborhood.

Henry is coming out specifically to:

1) Eat as much Ethiopian food as he can in the 3 days in Silver Spring, where the last time I counted, there were 34 Ethiopian restaurants within walking distance of my home [amazingly enough, this is a true fact]

2) Visit me and Joyce.

3) Play a pair of fun shows in a place where he can do whatever he wants with no pressure constraints.

1) is definitely the main reason. I'm not so certain about the order of 2) and 3).

He does play the east coast (usually NYC) seemingly at least once a year, but these dates are only DC; he's flying in on Thursday and flying out on Sunday.

I'll definitely try and get him to more regularly send me his dates though......

[Steve F.]

p.s.

Does your bucket-list friend want to come up? It's closer than NYC (assuming he / she is in the south) and that's usually the only place HK plays on the East Coast

[battema]

I will ask them

Hey - *I* am there, so it's all good by me

Thanks so much for the clarification Steve!

[Steve F.]

AND....

THREE MORE from Mr Kaiser, but all in California, but here they are anyway!

Bruce Ackley & Henry Kaiser Explore the Music of Steve Lacy

Featuring Bruce Ackley (soprano sax), Scott R. Looney (piano), Danielle DeGruttola (cello), Nava Dunkelman (percussion), Henry Kaiser (electric guitar & electric bass) and Lisa Mezzacappa (acoustic bass).

Kaiser and Ackley have a 4-decade recording and performance history that stretches back to the 1970’s, when each was deeply touched by Lacy’s unique style and acute intellectualism, which helped to reshape the sound of jazz.

They have formed a six-piece ensemble to present a tribute to jazz iconoclast and cultural treasure, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. Together the sextet promises a compelling and lyrical evening of compositions by the late jazz master. Four of the players were part of a recent re-imagining of Lacy’s classic 1970’s recording The Wire, which will be a forthcoming CD, and this program will consist of Lacy compositions from those sessions and more.

A LOVE SUPREME ELECTRIC OCT 22, 2019 at THE UPTOWN OAKLAND
Address: 1928 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94612

For one night only, the bi-coastal ensemble of Henry Kaiser, Max Kutner (NY), Andrew Dixon, Darren Johnson (NY), Michael Manring, Steven Robertson and John Hanrahan will unite as A LOVE SUPREME ELECTRIC for a special performance at Oakland's Uptown Nightclub on Tues, Oct 22.

Over two extended sets, the group will present an explorative rendition of John Coltrane's seminal 1965 suite "A Love Supreme" in its entirety as well as a special selection of material from the mid-1970’s electric repertoire of Miles Davis (material from Jack Johnson, Agharta, and Get Up With It) that Kaiser and Manring began to investigate with Wadada Leo Smith, 20 years ago, in the enormously popular YO MILES! band.

I saw the Charles Wright Trio play at one of them. I think it was on the corner of the block where Ben's Chili Bowl is.

Tomeka Reid's early performance at U Iowa on Nov 2 is already sold out BTW. I look forward to catching the late performance and hearing the CD as well.

Wow!! Had NO idea. What size venue?

[arturs]

^^^ She's booked at "Club Hancher" which appears to be a smaller performance space within our large University arts auditorium complex. From the pic below I'm guessing 75-100?

Any word on what Anthony will do on this occasion? I might be inclined to hitch an Amtrak down for that.

Good question and I don't know. It just says it's by his quartet. It's a talk and a 60' show
