We saw Diles Que No Me Maten aka They Said to Not Kill Me. Not sure how to describe them: post rock? They at times have a strong Neu! influence. So maybe post rock krautrock.  I dunno.  At one point, they were blowing through two clarinets, and a sax while another bowed his bass and the drummer drummed on. Going the other way, they played three guitars, a sax, bass, and drums. 

Turn up to hear a bit of "Outro," the last song they played that night. 

This drawing was done standing up and in my little sketchbook. Not too bad.

Popped into the Vine on Sunday to catch a set by Stephen Hodges, Pablo Calogero, Scott Heustis, and Tony Green. On point. 

Bootleg recording by me. Turn it up.

This is the last page of my sketchbook! Bought a new one today.

A much needed night of beautiful music by Jon Armstrong and the Bridge to Everywhere. It was essentially the same large ensemble but led by two different composers. 

Drawing was difficult. In the light, green looked black and the orange was completely invisible.  They came out ok though. 

I finished my sketchbook tonight.

My bootleg quality recording is from Jon Armstrong's suite, Voluntary Breath, which they played entire.

I've been drawing at live shows in and around LA since before covid and this is the first time I've compiled a collection my sketches. The premier volume features Angel City Jazz Festival shows from 2021 to 2025. It even features a few drawings of people who are performing this year.

The booklets are 5.5 x 6 inches or so. Sizes vary since they are hand folded, trimmed and stapled by me. 

I will be attending Angel City Jazz Refractions on October 10 to see Jon Armstrong and Bridge to Everywhere, who is featured in the book.  I will have 20 of these little guys for sale. Look for them on the merch table. 

Maybe I'll see you there?

Finally visited Baby Gee's jazz night. Tonight I saw three fourths of Red Fiction improvising. Baby Gee is really small and narrow. There is only  one stool to sit and see the band and I got it. 

Extra bootleggy sound with lots of bar patron chatter recorded by me.

Here is a big ol' video of the three bands we saw at Open Gate hosted by Scribble. I gotta say it was an epic drawing night. First up was Maran, then came the Rosenboom Quartet, and rounding out the bill was Varad Shasrabudhe's Birds of Migration. 

Check out the video and my bootleg recordings. 

I'm almost done with this sketchbook.

Another Sunday at the Stephen Hodges residency at The Vine. Today we had Matt Piper (e bass) Scott Heustis (gtr), and Shelby Dereszynski on therimin and effects. 

I'm really liking the second drawing. It just sorta happened.

Turn up sound for my bootleg recording.

The Left Edge at The Vine, featuring Dan Rosenboom, Billy Mohler,  and Shawn Baltazor.  Jazz adjacent post-rock? Rock adjacent jazz?  I dunno but I like it. A lot.

Bootleg sound on video. Turn it up

.Here is a video of the Smudges/cuZns show last night.  cuZns are Bobby Bradford and William Roper, on cornet (I think), tubas, and other things you blow or hit or squeeze. And voices. Always with the voices. Smudges are Jeff Gauthier and Maggie Parkins on violin and cello and effects. These two duos were both amazing and could not be further apart. Great night and met some very sweet people. 

Check the video for bootleg audio by me.

Went with orange and brown and black. The Pink stayed in the case.

Here is my drawing of the Cymatics Trio, featuring Motoko Honda, Tony Green and Breeze Smith. Some of the music was composed and some of it was completely improvised on the spot and all of it was great.

Video has some bootleg quality sounds from the show.

I also learned Breeze's first name, but I won't divulge it.

Yesterday I had the kids cartooning themselves so I drew them. My self-portrait is at the end. One and done.
