It's Winter Jazzfest season in NYC. I used to pooh pooh the idea of a jazz festival in a city where every single day is literally the best jazz festival in the world (which remains true while WJF is going on!), but I've come around to its creative booking and programming.

Started last night with the Psychic Hotline showcase show at LPR. 5 short sets each with their own charm, dug em all. Joe Westerlund's rhythmic dreamscape probably my favorite, although William Tyler, Sam Gendel, et al were all pretty great too.

Looking forward to the WJF Brooklyn marathon tomorrow...

Tonight: the NYC Winter Jazzfest Brooklyn Marathon is always a fun choose-your-own-adventure adventure. Never know what you're gonna get, but almost always worth the chilly schlepping around Williamsburg.

Already on my second set featuring the legendary Vijay Iyer, Matt Brewer, Tyshawn Sorey, Adam O'Farill at National Sawdust. Sick.

Tonight: Winter Jazz Fest continues. Impulse! showcase at LPR, very strong lineup. This set with James Brandon Lewis joining the Messthetics is all sorts of kickass. If you don't know JBL, he's knocked me over with everything I've seen him do. Also, never seen this room this packed before. Yay! for jazz, boo! for personal comfort.
