NYC December 2023 - Part 1

[Updated to cover seven nights, December 19-25]

My winter music safari took me from New Orleans to Laguardia on Tuesday, December 19. I arrived at Mona's just a bit after the jam started. Here's the video - credit Dennis Lichtman. Fast forward to the music, 9 minutes:

On Wednesday night I had the amazing good fortune to catch both sets at Smoke. From L to R, the band was Emmet Cohen, Jon Webber, the great George Coleman, Joe Farnsworth and Peter Bernstein.

In the first set, my seat was right by Joe Farnsworth's left elbow.

I definitely have a better understanding of jazz drumming than I used to have. And I got some great shots from that angle.

I had a better view for the second set.

Here's Peter Bernstein.

This was probably my best photo of the night.

The music was bebop, not quite in my sweet spot. But it was absolutely delightful. Each of these guys is a master craftsman and inspired artist.

On Thursday, I ventured out to far Red Hook, to Sunny's Bar to hear Samoa Wilson sing. To my pleasant surprise, she was backed by Michaela Gomez, who I have not seen since before the pandemic, on guitar, and Brian Nalepka on bass.

Michaela's guitar work was strong. Samoa's singing was a perfect match for the jazz standards she sang.

On Friday night, I went to hear Jeanne Geis at Frankie and Johnny's on 37th. Her band consisted of Joe Cohn (guitar), with Mark Lewandowski (bass) and Paul Bollenback (guitar).

Joe Cohn is the father of Shaye Cohn from Tuba Skinny.

I had not seen Jeanne in many years.

I hadn't seen her in many years. Listening to an old friend sing, sitting on the corner of the bar, chatting with a few other friendly jazz fans. It felt familiar and comfortable.

On Saturday night, I went to hear Tatiana Eva-Marie at The Whitby Hotel on 56th Street. She was flawlessly accompanied by Paul Sikivie on Bass and Felix Lemerle on guitar.

Sunday,December 24 began with a trip downtown to hear Tamar Korn's brunch gig at the Temple Court. It's not a temple or a court. It's a hotel, with a delicious, expensive brunch.

The band, L to R, is Sam Chess (trombone), Jared Engel (bass) and Josh Dunn (guitar). The music was stunningly well-executed. Tamar's version of "Do the New York," which is usually kickass, was restrained by the genteel surroundings.

The usual Sunday evening jam at The Ear was typically excellent.

That's Tal Ronen (bass), Jay Rattman (sax), Chris Flory (guitar) and Jon Erik Kellso (trumpet).

Neal and his friends, Dr. Janet Sora Chung and Joe Jones (bassoon, not drums) enjoyed the show.

Musician friends Brennen Ernst and Jen Hodge were at the bar . . .

. . . until Maestro Kellso invited them to play a few tuned. They both leaned in with serious energy.

In the foreground, that's Phillup Debucket - a major supporter of the band. Phillup eagerly accepted my input.

On Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, Neal Siegal and I got the best seats in the house for Tamar's reprise Temple Court gig. It was a new lineup.

That's Tal Ronen (bass), Tomas Majcherski (tenor, clarinet), Jared Engel (4-string, 3-cone, resophonic not-a-banjo), and Tamar, vocals.

I never heard Tomas Majcherski play before. His playing was delightful and deep.

Tamar's singing seems to capture the rapt attention of the youngest listeners. I've seen it before. Now I've got a photo:

Neal and I spent the entire rest of the day looking for the great music, but a strange hush had descended on New York . . .

Nimíipuu land

"Kaya got down on her stomach and looked into the nest where Lone Dog lay. There, snuggled up next to one another against their mother's side, were four little newborn puppies. They were nursing, their paws pushing at their mother's belly. With their stubby legs and big bellies, they looked to Kaya more like ground squirrels than like dogs."

"Panting heavily, Lone Dog gazed up steadily into Kaya's eyes. She seemed calm and sure of herself now that she'd given birth to her pups."

Kaya and Lone Dog: A Friendship Story by Janet Shaw

I appreciate that AG created this story about Kaya respectfully, with input from and approval by the Nez Perce tribe.

Here's the illustration (by Bill Farnsworth) I was loosely recreating..

The Venture Bros. #6: “The Incredible Mr. Brisby” | August 28, 2004 - 11:00 PM | S01E04

Another really strong Venture Bros. In this one, Dr. Venture meets with Roy Brisby, the show’s obvious parody of Disney. He meets him at his theme park, Brisbyland, which he inexplicably forbids the boys from enjoying. Turns out Brisby wants Venture to help clone him, so his empire may live on. This is the first broadcast mention of cloning, which wouldn’t pay off until the premiere of season two.

Meanwhile, Brock has a run in with a mercenary rival of his, Molotov Cocktease. They were romantically involved and have a brutal fight which eventually turns into almost-love-making. Since yesterday’s post had a lot to do with standards and practices I’ll mention this here: several episodes of The Venture Bros. were rated TV-14 when they first aired but were re-rated to TV-MA on subsequent rebroadcasts. I would guess Janet Jackson’s beautiful titty was what helped those state of affairs, but this aired months after that? I don’t know, man. Should I stop this write-up in it’s tracks to discuss how fucked up it is that Justin Timberlake received absolutely zero blowback from actually being the person who tore Janet Jackson’s wardrobe, letting us see her wonderful and spectacular pierced nip? Nah. Some GIRL can blog about that. I have important MAN stuff to write about (cartoons).

The plot THICKENS! The titular Venture Bros. wind up getting kidnapped by an anti-Brisby resistance group, which eventually invades Brisbyland. Another firsts in this episode (cloning and Molotov Cocktease were the others) is a mention of David Bowie. He wasn’t a “character” in the show yet, and I’m not actually sure at what point this starts happening in the series. But it’s an interesting footnote, I GUESS. Also, while we’re talking firsts, Brisby is one of the few specific firsts that we actually saw in the PILOT; one of the boys has a BIZZY BEE wallet, and a times square hooker is seen wearing one of the same Bizzy Bee hats that are shown in this episode. I moaned earlier about how “Careers in Science” was grandfathered in as an essential, unskippable episode due to the show’s respect for continuity, but I actually respect it. And you gotta respect me, for respecting it.

EPHEMERA CORNER

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Shake Costume Promo (August 28, 2004)

(2min 45sec in... not sure if the timestamped link works)

Okay for some reason I made note of the date August 28, 2004 as the premiere of this particular promo that ran all the time but IDK! I AM pretty sure they reused this footage A LOT in various promos and bumpers. Who knows? All I know for sure is that I’m tacking it on to the end of this post.

MAIL BAG

Not adult swim but I would be curious on your review on the 1999 MTV short series "Downtown"

Me too! I remember disliking it when it first aired but I was at peak snobbery back then. My wife is a fan and had the official unofficial DVDs (for a while the creator sold a copy of his “video reel” and when you bought it was just the whole series of Downtown). I’ll revisit it sometime.

Ah, a simpler time, when Adult Swim shows couldn't be rude about religion and even Futurama had to censor Professor Farnsworth saying "sweet zombie jesus" Weird to think about now that Adult Swim just airs showings of Religulous every night. The Nuge no likee!

Remember when Bill Maher went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and seemed sorta like he genuinely thought he ACTUALLY WAS his character from the Colbert Report? Like he kept making references to him being a Republican and stuff? Did I dream this? I feel like they got sidetracked talking about Colbert’s actual/genuine Christian faith and didn’t address the elephant in the room that Maher is a re-taher and doesn’t know Stephen Colbert from Stephen Colbert. What a putz! But, it’s not so nice to talk ill of the dead. Rest in peace, Bill.

With the global online market at our finger tips, It’s very easy for us to forget about the gifts and crafts created locally.  As the internet takes over the world, with glossy websites, next day delivery and an infinite gift options, we can often overlook local artists, creatives and vendors within an arms reach of our towns.

Liza Sings Streisand

Wilton’s Music Hall today announces its sensational new season programme, jam-packed full of independent theatre productions, live music, opera and cabaret.

Kicking off the season in style is a screening of cult sci-fi classic Metropolis, with live musical accompaniment from pianist and composer Dmytro Morykit who will be performing his beautiful original score. A celebration of the film’s 90th anniversary, Metropolis Live (01-03 August) is an electrifying fusion of film and sound to be enjoyed by film enthusiasts and classical music lovers alike.

Back by popular demand, OneTrackMinds (8 and 9 August, 9 October) is making a triumphant return to Wilton’s, bringing with it an eclectic and fascinating variety of guests discussing the songs that changed their lives. An entertaining cross between Desert Island Discs, The Moth Radio Hour & TED Talks, this live storytelling event explores the transformative power of music. Previous guests have included Jay Rayner, Bompass and Parr, Tulip Siddiq MP and Mark Thomas. In August, we’ll be hearing from comedian Robert Popper, activist Peter Tatchell, Lovers Rock singer Janet Kay and film producer Stephen Woolle.

It’s time for sassy swing on 10 August, as the Spitfire Sisters and their live band fill Wilton’s with their incredible retro sound. With a classic repertoire from the 40s, original music from their self-penned album Put Your Phone Away and modern songs with a vintage twist, these swing sisters will get your feet moving and your hips swinging.

Wilton’s is also proud to announce a collaboration with Lucky Dog Picturehouse, who bring the experience of early cinema to a modern audience by combining classic silent films with live performances of original-era soundtracks. The atmospheric surroundings of Wilton’s Music Hall will provide the perfect backdrop to showings of The Lost World (14 & 18 August), The Epic of Everest (16 August) and Shooting Stars (17 August), all accompanied by The Lucky Dog Picturehouse musicians.

Everyone’s favourite hip hop music hall singer Ida Barr (22 – 24 August) is back and more audacious than ever as she showcases her bespoke genre of music which she calls Artificial Hip Hop, a fusion of gritty, grimy, urban hip hop and the glorious songs of the heyday of the British music hall. With bangers like ‘Get Old or Die Tryin’ and ‘Slipped Disco’, this gives audiences a chance to explore the difficult issues of existence whilst laughing their socks off, swaying and having a joyous sing-a-long.

Following sell-out performances in 2016, Opera della Luna return to Wilton’s with The Queen’s Lace Handkerchief (29 – 31 August), a story of political intrigue, royal adultery and a bullfight. This is the first professional UK production of the enchanting operetta by Johann Strauss, bringing the piece’s many famiiliar waltz tunesto the East End of London.

The jewel in the crown of the beginning of the season, Wilton’s are thrilled to welcome the BBC Proms (2 September) who are moving out of their usual home of the Royal Albert Hall for their Proms at… series matchin music to the faded beauty and glamour of Wilton’s Music Hall Conductor Sian Edwards and the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, join young British soloists Jennifer France and Marcus Farnsworth in a celebration of birdsong, with performances of Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer John Luther Adams’ songbirdsongs and Peter Maxwell Davies’ Eight Songs for a Mad King.

A cornerstone of the National Youth Theatre writing commissions, Peter Terson’s much loved Zigger Zagger (6-9 September) returns in a special anniversary production marking half a century since its world premiere. The UK’s first major dramatic work based on the subject of football hooliganism, it is a story of violence and greed, all brought to life by a cast of fifty of Britain’s best young talents. Directed by Juliet Knight (White Boy), this is the tale of a working-class boy torn between making a life for himself and the desire to fit in, exploring the themes of tribalism, masculinity and belonging through the National Youth Theatre’s trademark wit and infectious energy.

Following on from a stellar, critically-acclaimed set of shows at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe (5* The Guardian, 5* The Times), Manfred Karge’s Man to Man comes to Wilton’s for an exclusive London run from 12 – 23 September. The remarkable story of a woman forced to adopt the identity of her dead husband in order to survive in Nazi Germany, this dynamic production unites the talents of a multi Olivier & Tony award-winning creative team, led by directors Bruce Guthrie and Scott Graham and starring Maggie Bain. A Wales Millennium Centre production and named by The Times as a ‘stunning revival…destined for classic status’, this one-woman masterpiece is one not to be missed.

The ten-year anniversary production of Les Enfants Terribles’ award-winning The Terrible Infants take up residency at Wilton’s 27 September – 28 October. Featuring new creative material reflecting Les Enfants Terribles’ bold, innovative and irreverent style The Terrible Infants is a collection of twisted short stories which recall both Roald Dahl and Tim Burton. Performed with inventive puppetry, atmospheric live music and recorded narration from Dame Judi Dench, The Terrible Infants is a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups.

Wilton’s free family weekend is back, and this year’s Scene In Time (7-8 October) is an exploration of Wilton’s film and technology heritage, from music videos such as Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Relax’ to blockbuster movies like Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Muppets Most Wanted. Jam-packed with free workshops from Alexandra Palace, the National Maritime Museum and more, Scene In Time is a great way to learn more about the building’s heritage or just soak up the atmosphere of the beautiful building.

Georges Bizet’s classic La Tragédie de Carmen (3 – 14 November) gets a radical reworking in a contemporary adaptation by Peter Brook, arguably Britain’s greatest living director, which will be performed by the rising stars of Royal Opera House’s Jette Parker Young Artists ProgrammeIn the intimate setting of Wilton’s, four singers perform the story of passion, love and jealousy between soldier Don José and gypsy Carmen, with spoken dialogue making the text feel more immediate and stripped back to its core.

Presented by Poet In The City, Edgar Allan Poe: The Haunted Palace (6 November) is an evening of discussion and live poetry performance plunging into the sublime work of a spectacularly spooky literary figure. The master of melodrama, mystery and macabre, the irresistibly scary Edgar Allan Poe has frightened and delighted since The Raven found an audience in the 1840s. Brought into the 21st Century by the eerily atmospheric surroundings of Wilton’s, this will be an evening of haunting literary enjoyment celebrating one of the world’s finest poets. Part revivalist meeting and part medicine show; The Singing Hypnotist (9 November) will change your life. Using a combination of clinical hypnotherapy, stage hypnosis, original music and good old-fashioned showbiz, Christopher Green (the man behind Ida Barr and Tina C) has created a character that performs songs to heal, transform and put you under. This show will be followed by a Q&A with the performer/author on all aspects of hypnosis.

It’s silliness and noise galore as Tales from the Shed (9 – 11 November) returns to Wilton’s in all its fun and colourful glory. Presented by Chickenshed, this is a vibrant, interactive theatre show for young children, encouraging them to discover their own creative imaginations and build confidence.

OperaGlass Works presents a pop-up version of The Rake’s Progress (17 – 25 November), one of the great operas of the 20th Century by Igor Stravinsky and WH Auden and the company’s debut production. Tom Rakewell abandons true love for the excitement of the city he soon finds himself in the company of the devil. Set in the 18th century, using conventions of opera from that time, the story explores human choice and its limitations. With accompanying music from Southbank Sinfonia and directed and produced by Selina Cadell (Mrs Tishell in Doc Martin), and a set by the award-winning Tom Piper, this will be a dynamic and entertaining evening. A night of music at its purest, The Voice of the Violin (21 November) Performed by Peter Sheppard Skaerved, leader of the Kreutzer Quartet, the performance explores the beginnings of the virtuoso violin, playing a series of extraordinary instruments from the 17th century in this intimate solo performance featuring speaker Benjamin Hebbert and including two special world premieres.

It’s all glitter and glamour as Fascinating Aida’s Liza Pulman takes to the stage with her new show Liza Sings Streisand (23 November), packed full of legendary Barbra Streisand songs, dirty humour and sassy storytelling. Together with her six-piece band, The Stardust Ensemble, Liza brings you glorious new arrangements and orchestrations of these now classic tunes. Expect the much-loved classics ‘Evergreen’, ‘The Way We Were’, ‘New York State Of Mind’, ‘Second Hand Rose’ and many more in a full to bursting 90 minute show. A show that ‘completely immerses the audiences from beginning to end’ (Love London Love Culture), it’s a rip-roaring romp of a night out and not to be missed.
