Tonight: Barbès early show, same exact band for Oscar Noriega as last week except with Marta Sanchez back and it's like night and day. Loose and furious. So good. Doesn't feel fair that this is a weekly occurrence.

I'm emotionally swinging between total uncertainty at work, anger and despair at {everything}, and complete distracted joy from livemusic. Not sure it's sustainable, but TGIF, I guess?
Happyplace'd at Barbès for now at least...

Happy Friday from the happy hour gang at Barbes, may the weekend be restful and next week less horrifying.

Tonight: another weekend upon us. Back to Barbès for Oscar Noriega with an oversized band sounding so good. Still the best thing going...

Tonight: what, you thought I wasn't starting my weekend at Barbès? Oscar Noriega with a heavy, heavy band this week. Full sextet strength including masters Matt Mitchell, Ches Smith and Tim Berne. Kinda ridiculous, but... lucky me!

Tonight: interesting configuration for the Crooked Quartet tonight. First off, it's a quintet. Second, in lieu of piano, there's guitar, which I don't think I've seen. And it's the master Miles Okazaki. You never know what you're gonna get, but always worth the early Friday journey.

Tonight: final Friday of the year so there's no choice but to take in one more week-ending happy hour set at Barbes. Oscar Noriega's Crooked Quartet for the 16th (!?) time in 2024. With Marta Sanchez, Tim Angulo, Simon Willson. Lovely meets powerful.

Made my move to leave at the break and then I saw Chris Potter walk in with his horn (bass clarinet!) and thought maybe I should, uh, stay.

Tonight: feels like we're here every Friday, but haven't caught Oscar Noriega at Barbes for 2 months. Cozy af.

Tonight: NYC livemusic'n is my religion and early eves with Oscar Noriega at Barbes are my Friday night services. The perfect segue from week to weekend every time.
