If I had, I'd give it away.

Is he not here for this garguantuan SNL 50th anniversary live stream on Sunday? I admit I am backing away from it, such a gluttony of self-congratulation. 

he is. I think he's actually performing at Radio City for it on Friday.

Last week, at the Café Carlyle, we were lucky enough to see a great show by Benmont Tench; Benmont was Tom Petty's (RIP) keyboard player, and has played with, well, basically everyone from the Stones on down or up, however you want to look at it.

And he had a special guest, who was on a break from a mini-tour - Steve Nieve. He invited Steve up and they sang a beautiful version of (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.

As noted above, Steve is on a "mini-tour" with Elvis Costello.  Seems right, since he's been playing keyboards with Elvis for about 47 years.

We saw the shows in Red Bank and Montclair, NJ and will be at tomorrow night's show at the famous Capital Theatre, in Port Chester, NY.

A fantastic show at The Town Hall last night. T Bone Burnett, touring for the first time in nearly 20 years, in semi-support of his first album (The Other Side) over that same time period.  All strings, lots of bluegrass, just great - as is the album.

The strict no-photos policy was being enforced...with a light hand. So I waited until the final song to take a crappy pic...

The album is well worth a listen...or ten.

And guess who was just added as a special guest at Trombone Shorty's Treme Threauxdown during Jazzfest?

Not sure if this would be considered a gig, but N and I saw a brilliant SF Symphony concert conducted by Marin Alsop last week, making her SF Symphony debut if you can believe it. Alsop, like Gustavo Dudamel, is a conductor I've always wanted to see live, so I'm really glad I had the chance.  It was one of the best classical concerts I've ever seen.

Jazzfest Highlights Part 1

Halfway thru and here are the highlights:

Ryan Foret & the Foret Tradition: Swampy soul with a great groove

Rosie Ledet singing cajun/zydeco with a family band with all of her songs being double entendre like "You Can Eat My Poussier"  😀

Bonerama: Trombone band playing Led Zeppelin

Stanton Moore Trio: Funky jazz with sit ins by horn players Eric Bloom (Lettuce) and Skerik. This was just great and had everyone in the Jazz Tent on their feet.

Shemekia Copeland singing the blues.  What a voice.

Delfeayo Marsalis and his orchestra: What a band. My newbie friends were blown away.

Honey Island Swamp Band: If there is a more fun swampy funky soul band please let me know.

Youssou NDOUR: Just amazing voice and band. Never saw him before.

Stanley Clarke: Just wow. A small and super tight band. Clarke played upright bass for the first half of the show and bass guitar for the second half. A true legend.  

The Rumble: Mardi Gras Indian Soul Funk band that never disappoints. Ari Teitel, their Jewish guitar player, is making his parents very happy. 😆

The Revivalists: They always bring it at Jazzfest. Special moment: they brought out Tank Ball and Ivan Neville to close with "I Shall Be released." My wife lost her mother just last month so she lost it. It was downright beautiful. And the next day we ran into lead singer David Shaw at a Crawfish Festival. She told him that he made her cry the day before and he gave her the biggest hug. 

And the above was just during the day....... Night time has also been great including this:
