It's going to kill my bank balance.
I'm going to kill Kate Ceberano.. but thats another story.. But yes, there are some nice looking shows on this here line up, Gary Burton would be a highlight for me.
oh yeh! Thanks tangy, I read about this on the weekend.
McCoy Tyner Trio!!!!#
damn straight. Pharoah Sanders was good last time I saw him (even though he was barely on stage for most of the evening), playing "spot the jazz ponytail" was fun.

I will be at a McCoy Tyner show. Hamer Hall's ace.
$85 is out of my budget range unfortunately..
i might just go to the fed square free shows. yup yup.
looks total shit.
evil shmazz and elevator swing.
no cultural credibility for the latest installment of the ill-fated melbourne international jazz festival debacle.
Wang is way more credible than this commercial cynicism.
It's very populist, but it'll satisfy an audience. Why bother trying to push shit uphill in this town?
poor dizzy's
surely populist is james morrison and don burrows and winton marsalis
i hope pharaoh still yodels
Morrison is on the bill... of course.
I just had a look at the rest of the artists. Hmmm...
still, I'll go see Tyner.
at least Vince Jones isn't playing....
Wow Pharoah Sanders is still alive!
I picked up my festival pass today.
Went to three shows on the weekend.
Friday night was Chick Corea and Gary Burton. Pretty awesome, although kinda traditional and was more for music theory nerds.
Saturday night was The Chick Corea Trio feat. Frank Gambale - this gig was THE FUCKING SHIZNIT! Two hours flew by in some amazing musicianship that my lame arse attempt at describing in a paragraph here will never do justice. Check out Antonio Sanchez - the drummer for the night.
Yesterday I saw Gary Burton again at Federation Square. It was good to see him up close and I was with a friend who played the vibes, so he could explain a lot of stuff to me.
Tonight I'm off to see Jens Winther down at Bennetts Lane.
Sat night's show was indeed awesome.
Here's Frank Gambale the guitarist Chick Corea played with.

AlasNoAxis / Chiri double bill was excellent.
AlasNoAxis supposedly playing a bennetts lane show tomorrow night, 11pm.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is sold out, so err, if anyone has a spare ticket, let me know!
was working on merch at the forum so got free entry to chiri and the arkestra - god seeing chiri in that venue was unreal - and the arkestra were fucking amazing, topped the night before as well. couldn't see jim black so will be at the tuesday show for sure.
Would have loved to see Chiri. Time and money prevented me from doing so. Their Fed Square slot was amazing.
bae il dong is doing a free masterclass today....4pm
so err, yeah, anyone got a hypnotic brass ensemble ticket?
spare?
+1
I've got a concession ticket to Faust and I won't be able to go now:
It's yours for $20 (I paid 30 something). I work in St Albans but if you transfer me the cash, I'll email it onto you.
PM me, bro!
Is there a support for hbe? Playing times anyone?
Hypnotic brass ensemble were a lot of fun. If I had a time machine I would like to attend a family sunday roast at their parents.
Lee Konitz (born October 13, 1927 died June 9, 2011) ?
Shit hey, I heard he was sick.
WTF? Is he just sick, or as you suggest pandad?
I gather Pandad is going by the Wikipedia entry which was updated by someone rather thoroughly who also happens to like plate tectonics.
We can confirm that Mr Konitz is receiving medical care and is in a stable condition. He has not had a heart attack and rumours of his death are unfounded.
Our thoughts and well wishes are with Mr Konitz and his family and we ask that their privacy is respected at this time.
hmmm... fuck you non-universal inequality markup.
Sun Ra in Hobart this evening at MONA with Mr Konitz Trio... or maybe not? Hope he's okay.
He was taken from his hotel in an ambo. I know that much. He won't be performing again for this festival.
Sorry for jumping the gun posting that, was just surprised to see someone had done that to his wikipedia - they weren't even that fast for Bob Davis. Best wishes to him.
Amazing show in Hobart last week.
