tonight at caffe tazza: 9:30pm MARC FRIEDMAN AND ANDREW BARR OF THE SLIP AND MARCO BENEVENTO OF THE BENEVENTO/RUSSO DUO.
this should be a ser show. i downloaded a recording from april(?) that this lineup played and it was sick. i wish i could go to providence, but i dont think i will even be making it to porters tonight. dont miss this if you are in the area!
basically within walking distance, i shall attend
seeing as I have NO patience whatsoever to find parking downtown (20 minutes and I quit), I refuse to pay for parking downtown, and I am too lazy to walk 8 or so blocks (where there was a parking spot), Igz how is/was the show (was setbreak the final lap I took)
it was pretty badass. they started off kinda slow, but hit a solid groove in the middle of the first set and rode it out and the set kept getting better and better. they closed set 2 w/ a rockin immigrant song. i love when marco benevento does covers for when he plays the music part w/ one hand and the lyric part w/ the other. he\'s in a league of his own for keys as far as i\'m concerned.

russo is in a leauge of his own when it comes to drumming too.
they both are ser boundry breakers
it woulda been better for my early morning morale if you just said it sucked :lol: seemed like the place was pretty packed (from the outside anyway, unless there were only 25 or so people and every person was outside during break)
they\'re playing @ Matt Murphy\'s tonihgt in Brookline MA (just outside of Boston) 10 o clock for those not making it to the Acoustic Cafe.. I saw a few improv sets in April that was Marco, Brad Barr, Marc Friedman, Ari Hoenig (JMP drummer), DJ Olive, and some d00d on a sax (sorry, but he could barely hang, hence I don\'t remember his name)- and it was siiccckk-
