Shoot me an email if you want to go to a show sometime. Sounds like I could learn a lot about jazz from you. Dave, sounds excellent. Shoot me an email if you want to go to a show sometime.

I'm glad you liked it - I liked it too. My theory is that the show was entirely "free," and they basically planned who would play when and that's it. (That piece of paper they were looking at? I bet it just said "8:00, flute and arco bass. 8:10 piano, bass, drums. 8:20, add trumpet." etc. etc.) Plus the contrast between the first "free" set and the second "groove" set seemed planned. I also really liked Daniel Carter (for somebody who played 5 different instruments, he was remarkably musical, unlike Ornette Coleman who plays three but sucks at 2 of them.) and liked (most of) the Guillermo Brown solo. It was a really challenging show (some people hated it and left), but probably also one of the best "free" shows you'll ever hear.
