Think I should go hear him?
Jessica Williams is playing Thursday and Friday, and then it's Eldar on the weekend.  I have already heard Jessica play there once, so maybe I'll skip her this time.

Oscar Peterson is playing in Seattle as we speak.
I'm not into Oscar so I didn't go.

If you don't like oscar I would not go hear Eldar. It sounds to me like it's kind of the same Tatum school they come from.

The recordings I've heard of Eldar sound more like a classical virtuoso playing some jazz.  Not really a jazz tradition.  But you're right, I might not enjoy it greatly.

Cynbad would you go see Art Tatum or Herbie Hancock or Gonzalo Rubacalba?

CynBad -- 09/05/2006, 13:42:32 -- #29639
Heck, I will go hear just about anyone.  Isn't Tatum dead?
Eldar is playing with a trio.  I might go hear him after all.
Some of his trio stuff sounded pretty good.

At any rate, there will be Thai food.

Actually, I have nothing against Oscar Peterson or his playing.
I just say these things to wind you guys up and watch you spin around.

...Is Bad.

CynBad -- 09/08/2006, 12:29:54 -- #29639
What do you mean, SolArt?  You're being cryptic again.

CynBad...Is Bad! (At least today)

CynBad -- 09/10/2006, 17:46:00 -- #29639
I didn't go hear him, BTW.

thai food is nasty homey!

CynBad -- 09/11/2006, 22:22:02 -- #29639
Thai food is the best!
The only thing better is flamin' green chile from New Mexico!
