Gov't Mule: Live At The Orpheum Theatre Boston
by Doug Collette
Almost a year to the day before their October 15th show at the Orpheum in Boston, Gov't Mule played a truly epic two-set concert at this venerable theatre. Rendering highly-charged versions of their own material early in the concert primed the ecstatic audience for the two-tune collaboration with opener Chris Robinson: a scathing version of David ...

Bob Florence and the Limited Edition: Bigger and Better Than Ever
by J. Robert Bragonier
The Bob Florence Limited Edition appeared at the Jazz Bakery in Culver City, California on big band night, Monday evening, October 25, 2004. Although the venue is not ideal for listening to big bands (its small size causes some loud passages to be rather muddy and indistinct), Florence's arranging, and the band's excellence, make them worth ...
Dawn Norfleet's Jazz Project Levitates the Temple Bar
by Rex Butters
The blood red walls and dreamy Nag Champa haze of Santa Monica's Temple Bar enshrined a performance by Dawn Norfleet's Jazz Project. Dr. Norfleet's examination of soul jazz and funk found the patient healthy and ready to sweat. The sound system caught Norfleet's flute's full round tone, and her strong expressive 3.5 octave vocalizations. Norfleet packed ...

by Franz A. Matzner

On October 12, 2004, the New England Conservatory presented a concert in memory of soprano saxophonist and composer Steve Lacy, who joined the school's faculty on his return to the U.S. from Paris in 2002. Although his stay at NEC was sadly limited to two years, Lacy was an effective and highly-regarded teacher, as richly demonstrated ...
Matt Jorgensen + 451 at Dizzy's
by Dan McClenaghan
A rainstorm rolled into San Diego--the first such in six months--on the night that Seattle's Matt Jorgensen + 451 rolled in on the tail end of a west coast tour, for a concert at Dizzy's. I don't know if Matt and company pulled the precipitation in with them from the wetter climes of their home turf, ...
Hidden Heights: Brian Horton at HR-57
by Franz A. Matzner
One of the most enjoyable and distinguishing aspects of jazz is its capacity to shift one night to the next, one venue to another, from moment to moment. Different groupings of musicians performing the same compositions, the same players performing as trios or quartets, or with one member the leader a given night, another the following ...
Wilco at the Memorial Auditorium in Burlington Vermont
by Doug Collette
Burlington's old Memorial Auditorium has rarely, if ever, heard music orchestrated with more ornate detail than that which Wilco played this early autumn night. And Jeff Tweedy, the band's revered leader, couldn't seem to stop, as the dynamic regular set gave way to two encores, the extended length of which reconfirmed what the medium-sized but enthusiastic ...
