I really want to see a good live experimental performance. Anyone know any good shows coming up in Chicago?

Is Ornette Coleman comin 'round here?

Satchmo hit me up with a few chicago hotspots, but I'd like to see some of the more famous acts as well.

Whitehouse was in town on Nov. 5th, which I hipped you to. I take it, you missed that.


Try not to miss this!

Ornette's last gig gor the year is in Newark, New Jersey on Nov. 26th at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Cough, Cough - Roivas.


P.S. Future refrence for the Grasshoppas. If Satchmo takes the time to hip you to a concert, it's not going to be for some minor act. Satchmo only drops knowledge for those that really shouldn't be missed, if you can afford it.

Cough, Cough, Hint, Hint - T Bogus





YO!

I'm thinking about going to this, escpecially since The Bad Plus is going to be there.

Yeah, I know. I figured you would bring that up. So, I left you something to post.

Awesome!

I am thinking about going though. If I can take time off from work and the relatives don't get to mad about me missing some of the holiday.

As all the Grasshoppa's eventually come to learn, there is a reason I am Satchmo, and your a Grasshoppa working in the factory on level 1-Z/10.XP., and humming that tune.

Thanks Satch... I'll check out The Thing with Joe McPhee right now...

You and Grasshoppa Roivas will have something to talk about, since he will be seeing them on Nov. 25th in Buffalo.

Don't want to freak you two out; however, Satchmo may or may not see them in one or more stops, as well.

Now, don't waste your time trying to pick Satchmo or possible horde members out. I may not go, and you don't want to ruin the night looking around when you should be enjoying the music.

Hmm...I'll be in DE by the 26th...it's possible, though improbable, that I may be able to scrounge up some cash to go, car surviving. I’m still practicing positive thinking for those Taylor performances in December.
