Sam Grisman Project at Geneseo Riviera.
Hot Dawg! Gawd damn!
Some Grisman, some Garcia, and some other stuff, including a great bit of fiddle tunes with Finger Lakes' finest Richie Stearns, and some plugged in jams with another of Finger Lakes' finest, Max Flansburg.
Big week at the Little!
Monday: Eric Heveron-Smith in the cafe.
Wednesday: Margaret Explosion's cosmic explorations in the cafe then...
Kaki King's guitar wizardry in Theater 1.
Thursday: Dinner in the cafe then...
Screening of the surprisingly great Linoleum in Theater 1.

Christian McBride’s New Jawn (with Josh Evans, Marcus Strickland and Nasheet Waits) at the Smith Opera House.
Incredible playing all around, really great show.
Annual Scott LaFaro memorial, McBride played a magnificent solo tribute before their last piece.

Ben Morey and the Eyes, featuring half of Mikaela Davis' band this night, at Artisan Works. Country tinged rock n folk in a kingdom of kitsch and art. Very cool place for a show hopefully will become a regular thing.

Yarn, honking and tonking (and rocking and rolling), celebrating fifteen years of the best honky tonk in town, Abilene. Been fun to be along for the ride since near the beginning.

Saturday night in Rochester.
Free jazz explorations at Bop Shop Records with Buffalo's BPD Trio.
High energy jams by Vertices in the front room at Photo City.
Then electro-forward rock outs with Jimkata in the main hall.

Philippe Lemm Trio at Bop Shop Records.
To hear jazz of this caliber, played in between the stacks of a small record store, at a strip mall in Brighton NY, with just a couple dozen others for only $20. Ridiculous from all angles.

Yeehaw! Very much looking forward to seeing Danielle take the stage at Newport again.
Please welcome @danielleponder1 back to the Fort this summer. On Danielle's behalf, @newportfestsorg has made a grant to the Center for Community Alternatives (@CCA_NY), which provides services to people and communities impacted by the criminal legal system.

Moho Collective at Three Heads. They messed with perfection and made it even more perfect. Playing for the first time with Alan Murphy on keys. Holy fucking awesome.
Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (Kahil El'Zabar, Cory Wilkes, Alex Harding) at Bop Shop Records.
Monday must be the jazz sabbath because that was a spiritual experience.
Another Saturday night in Rochester getting to witness Rochester flex its Rochester muscles.
Seth Faergolzia, Archimedes and DM Stith (!) with a wide-ranging display of singing and songwriting at Abilene.
Moving Mountains put the pro in progressive at Flour City Station. Wow!
