Hmm, missed two days of journalizing. Been a bit busy. Work, shopping / deliveries, cleaning, etc. And I still haven't got the battery in my watch replaced.
Went to see MMW+Scofield tonight at the Moore, with Travis and Igor. It was very good. Maybe not the best venue for them. The Showbox would have been nice, though I'm sure I'd have been tired of standing by the end. Anyway. . .what a scary group of musicians. Each one of them did some jaw-dropping things. The highlights for me were Scofield's forwards-backwards-forwards-backwards-etc soloing in the first song, and Medeski's bassoon? mellotron solo later in the set. A real, live mellotron. I couldn't tell if he was getting the pitch-bending and other effects via some knob (the tuner?) on top, or actually reaching in and massaging the innards to slow down the tape spools.
Need to sleep now, waking up early tomorrow.
music: Michel Camilo - Triangulo; Tom McCarthy - Spark and Luminance
