Mark Zeger Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It's truly incredible what Jeremy can do with Photoshop, isn't it! Not only is that a photo of Jeremy and me (catching the blistering Mike Stern @ 55 Bar), but also some of greatest jazz artists in 1958: http://www.harlem.org/.

Wally Malone Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 I had the chance to talk to Sweets today and we talked a little of my upcoming trip to NYC and thought it would be a good time to bump this up and start thinking of when some of us can get together. On Monday evening the group I work with will be going out to dinner to celebrate my birthday which is actually the day before. I will be arriving on Sunday after dinner time and if anyone has a gig on Sunday night it could be possible to attend. It looks like Tuesday or Wednesday may be a good time to have a Lowdown get together. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make!

Tom Capasso Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Tuesday may be better for me, though I'll try for Wednesday if need be. I have a gig Friday, 9/18 in Hawthorne (40 minutes north by train), but I guess you'll miss that :wink: Looking forward to this!

Wally Malone Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Tom, I was hoping that someone had a gig while I was there, but my flight back home is on Thursday. Tuesday or Wednesday seems to be the best time to have a Lowdowner hang. Let's see how everyone's schedules look. Looking forward to seeing you! Wally Tuesday may be better for me, though I'll try for Wednesday if need be.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 My schedule looks awful! I have to travel to Chicago for work, so Tues is out for sure. I also have an event at my son's school on Wed night. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

Wally Malone Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Willie, looks like we may not get together this time around. There will be other times, although I don't get there as often as I would like. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make!

Tom Capasso Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 So Willie is unavailable. How about the rest - pick a night? Nick, Maury, Mark, Jason, Rizz... anyone else?

Wally Malone Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Saw this at the bottom of page one and thought I'd give it a bump since I'll be arriving in NYC on Sunday evening. I have a tough day tomorrow and will have to listen to Esperanza Spalding open the Monterey Jazz Festival and then will get to listen to the John Patitucci Trio who will be recorded on one of the grounds stages to broadcast in the Hank Jones slot since Hank declined the broadcast.

Wally Wow, "have to listen to Esperanza Spalding" and "get to listen to the John Patitucci Trio." I have great respect for J. Pat. but I'd have to say I would have worded that the other way around if I were going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Malone Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Davio, I was making an attmempt at being sarcastic. This is the first year in quite some time that I won't be spending the whole weekend there. But I do get to spend my birthday in Times Square on Sunday.

Wally Malone Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Davio, I didn't get to see Patitucci. There was a change with Hank Jones not being able to make it and was replaced with John Scofield playing with the group that includes Patitucci and will now broadcast live on Saturday evening. Wish I was there tonight. To be honest I wasn't that impressed with Esperanza's show. Since I was there to monitor the main stage broadcast I wasn't able to get out on the grounds stages and see any groups. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make!

Tom Capasso Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It was a last minute arrangement, since I was short on time (to make calls or arrangements) and since there was no further response here. Just the same, I managed to spend an hour and a half with Wally over dinner (at Pongsri - the same place I'd had lunch with Robb when he was in NYC). It was great to catch up. There was hopeful news about his wife's health, and lots of interesting goings-on with the music union. Wally discussed a few initiatives, and I've asked him to post about them when they start up. We talked a bit about gigs and not at all about equipment. It was an interesting evening anyway If Wally comes to your area, he's worth the effort. As a seasoned pro and with his union work, he has an interesting perspective. And he's a great guy! Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

rizzo9247 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ah, work has been a little hectic this past week, and the late nights seemed to have gotten the best of me (including my memory of this thread). It's nice to hear that there was a a mini-hang, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sorry I'm unable to connect while Wally's in town. Glad you two were able to get together. Peace. --s-uu spreadluv Fanboy?

Wally Malone Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm glad that Tom and I had the chance to spend a little time together. In general I was really busy while there but even then can usually find a little time to spend with my Lowdown friends. Ben, I still hope that on one of my trips to NYC the opportunity to catch one of your performances presents itself. I also was able to spend a little time on Wednesday evening with my sister-in-law and two of my neices. They live right near Lincoln Center and it was a great evening for a good walk. Although I always enjoy my trips to NYC it's also nice to get back home to my time zone. As Tom stated above there are some new things coming up from the AFM that all musicians should be interested in and will let all know when they are introduced.
