4/1 Set List

Order this album right away

Premiered three new discs--this one (thanks to Matt Shipp for the mail), Irvin Mayfield & Ellis Marsalis new release (the first from Basin St. Records since the storm), and The Roy Campbell Ensemble's live recording from the 2007 Vision Fest (dope). Jean-Luc Ponty-of view: at a recent panel/performance, I heard two local clarinetists bemoan a "lost generation" of musicians that came up in the 60's and 70's who never paid their dues in trad bands. I maintained that this missed the point, or rather condescened real political issues + the development of R&B and Funk + the basic fact of a musician's life in this city: you play every style, whatever they'll pay you for. Just because these two didn't see their contemporaries at Preservation Hall, that doesn't mean the music was lost. And what of today's lost generation? Can trad save them? As Jean-Luc might say, Don't Let the World Pass You By.

Anyways, this includes some left over marathon requests in the 1st 30 minutes, which worked pretty well, actually...
