I’m still here too, and listening to the Canal St. Concert while I read and respond to e-mails!

There are still a few of us on the list. I just got home from the monthly New Orleans Jazz Club jam.

I wonder how many folks still subscribe to our old favorite Jazz Mailing List?  I can’t believe islandnet still support it!  Nevertheless, Jazz is still alive in Madrid where I have been performing since 1966.  Our band, Canal Street Jazz Band, is now celebrating it’s 57th yr performing, and although the gigs began to lessen with the financial crisis in 2008, and even more after Covid, we still get one to 2 gigs a month.  We’ve maybe fallen into the dreaded “too respected to even possibly book” arena, even though we are very adaptable to costs & situations!  I even was presented as a “legend of Spanish Jazz” during a concert when I substituted a trombonist at a gig with visiting New Orlean’s drummer Joe Lastie.  I’m only a “legend” because I’m 83, and been at it for a long time!  :>

 

Anyway, the reason for sending this post was to give anyone that might be interested the chance to see a concert we did in Madrid in early October.  The sound guy took about ½ the concert to get his act together, and actually, the crowd (non Jazz folk) were the same.  I feel, also, that the band was “being careful” up to past the ½ way mark, only really playing Hot Jazz after that!  Still, it’s a nicely put together set, although, I somehow chose tunes were the bass & drums are not well shown off.  

 

So, if you have an hour, please go to https://canal.march.es/es/coleccion/amanecer-jazz-nueva-orleans-chicago-47537

If you have less time for us, just go to maybe the 30 min mark.  Either way, please watch on something better than your telephone!!!

 

Cheers, Jim Kashishian
