Kurt Elling – Skinner Hall, Vassar College – October 1, 2011 I kind of miss the old pre-colored-pencil days of dealing with watercolors at the concerts, so I stay alert for opportunities to get back with the wet. I’ve had … Continue reading

Lionel Loueke / Edmar Castaneda – July 6, 2011
Lionel Loueke / Edmar Castaneda – Madison Square Park – July 6, 2011 A double bill of two worthy trio acts (not enough time to do percussionists for either). Castaneda is (to my knowledge) the NYC go-to jazz harp man … Continue reading
