It sounds like your sitting dead center in a small Jazz club with a great sound system. Very attentive German audience (no talking heard, applause at end and no clinking glassware). I forgot howq good the trio is.

At the beginning of the video he is at the DJF performing with his quartet and four cellos. That year he was the artist-in-residence and played all four days. I saw myself sitting in the audience at 12:00 mark. If you were there you might be in one of the several audience shots. I didn’t or expect to see my name in the Credits.

Every year that I went I got a VIP Pass so I would get to sit in the best seats and had access to the food and drinks. Doubling the cost of the VIP Pass ($500 to $1,000) lost me this year and for the foreseeable future. Only time I would do it is Pat was the Artist In Residence again.

Bookmark and Share Once again the Detroit Jazz Festival is far superior to the Chicago Jazz Festival, especially the lineup and schedule. Several bands I would like to see are playing first or second at the main stage so short sets (40-45 minutes) and the last night Donald Harrison is the last show (fourth) with a long set (75 minute), but I would have to sit or sleep through several shows I have no interest in. Those bands may cause a mass exodus when the start to play. Not worth my time to attend. I am also trying to be careful about the new COVID strains. I have been out on Medical Leave since January 28th for two surgeries plus COVID while recovering from one of the surgeries. I haven’t seen very many shows this year or this decade.

Bookmark and Share franksexton : I won’t be at the DJF this year but would love to see several shows. I am guessing you are aware of most , if not all. My picks would be Abdullah Ibrahim, Artemis, JD Allen Trio, Emmet Cohen Trio, Vijay Iyer, Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet, Bill Frisell Trio, Chucho Valdes (Creation) and Ethan Iverson. Heads up on the John Scofield Yankee Go Home band who I saw earlier this year. Scofield, Vicente Archer and Jon Cowherd were very good, but Josh Dion the drummer didn’t impress me at all. I know the music was Rock & Roll songs so they used a Rock drummer, but it ruined the show for me. His drumming kind of overpowered the rest of the band. For me it would have been a better show with Bill Stewart. Enjoy the DJF and let me know your thoughts about the lineup. I have had a bad year surgery-wise and haven’t worked since January 28th so no money for travel this year.
