Favoriting June 29, 2017: Free Outdoor Summer Music 2017
For years I have been putting a list together of the best shows in the NY/NJ metropolitan area that I want to go to. My favorites are ones I can ride a bicycle to, esp via ferry across the Hudson River. This year's list has 25 shows and I will only get to a fraction of them. See you there!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

The Spiders  I'm Slippin' In   Favoriting I tend to prefer my first set to establish an instrumental groove but I played the wrong song; still, a nice New Orleans piece, written by Dave Bartholomew, from 1954  0:06:23 (Pop-up)

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band  4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)   Favoriting Okay, this tune is a bit of a cliche this time of year. But what a song! Last few tunes inspired by Springsteen's autobiography, which I'm reading right now.  1:55:01 (Pop-up)

NRBQ is playing *tonight* in Winters, CA, just a few miles west of Sacramento and Davis. The venue is a tiny so-called opera house.

un-square dance!

geezerette:

Dean that sounds great. Gonna go?
  3:23pm
Dean:

Would love to, geezerette, but no. Not this week. I was poking around the opera house calendar a week or so ago to see if, e.g., Jimmy LaFave--who was slated to play the Kate Wolf Festival this year--might swing by Winters again. Saw him there a couple years ago. But when I viewed the KWF site I learned he had joined the dearly departed. Really saddens me. He was terrific. Small consolation: a ton of videos of Jimmy are showing up on YT.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:24pm
doctorjazz:

Still have never seen NRBQ, have to catch them one of these days (think they'll be in this neck of the woods some time in the near future)

Charlie Parker fest is generally fun, great stuff (Bit crowded...)

Dean,ugh,sorry man. That's the beauty of recordings though.
Weird kind of immortality, different from books and paintings.

Taj is a blues monster! His voice is so much higher here, must be a smoker in the literal sense.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:36pm
doctorjazz:

Jesse Ed Davis on guitar on the 1st album of Taj, if I remember correctly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Sem Chumbo:

Oh, this is fine, fine, fine.

Dean:

Heh, TajMo just played in Berkeley a week ago tomorrow. Didn't go to that, either. I don't get out much anymore (largely by choice).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
doctorjazz:

(the new Taj/Keb Mo' album is sweet; Taj's voice isn't quite what it was, but he can still reallysing and use it well, really like it.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
doctorjazz:

Don't get around much anymore either (mostly not choice, just exhaustion)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
doctorjazz:

More now than I did the past few years, though, it's fun!

Written by Bruce and singing a lot like Bruce, too!

Southside Johnny is playing a bit in NY/NJ area next few weeks as well.
(was this one Bruce wrote for Johnny?)
Avatar 3:45pm
still b/p:

Can never keep a straight recollection of who was with SJ and the AJ when I saw them on Cape Cod in '78. It was Charlie Daniels Band?...the Cars? Just looked at a source that says it was all three, one bill!
  3:48pm
Mark R:

Dr. Jazz, you're correct about Jesse Ed in that early Taj Mahal group, that was a fine band with Chuck Blackwell on drums, too. And we certainly don't need to rehash Jesse Ed's own resume after that. A very good guitarist, loved his slide playing..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
doctorjazz:

Really enjoyed the show, Steve, thanks!
Avatar 3:55pm
geezerette:

yeah,great show Steve!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:58pm

(I always thought Bruce's band lost something when David Sancious left)

I'll go along with those sentiments. See again, Steve.

The studio and the stream are a little more stressful than regular radio. But the music-- and the listeners-- make it all worth it. Email me if anyone wants my list or just wants to say hello: stevek@wfmu.org. Until next time...

GARRY KRINSKY:

Lovely Independence day ending, but it makes me want to hear either Dave Alvin or Robert Earl Keene crooning "Hey, Baby, It's the fourth of July..."
