Tomorrow night I'm popping down to the Speakeasy Jazz night at Limerick Boat Club on Sarsfield Bridge. I'm delighted to hear that the venue is still being used for music. I've been to a few gigs and parties there over the years, although it's been a while since I was last there. I was first introduced to the place sometime in the 90s when some friends of mine, who had been involved with the Rowing Club, took me to a Good Friday party there. I had been under the impression that the place was going to be knocked down, like [...]
Charlie Hunter & Pound For Pound : Zurich, Switzerland - 10/30/1998 [ MP3 ] [ Stream ] Jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter crossed over into the jamband scene thanks to the 1998 release Return Of The Candyman with his new combo Pound For Pound which featured Stefon Harris on vibraphone, John Santos on percussion and Scott Amendola on the drums.

Hi. It's been a while. That's because I'm up to my nuts in grad school. But I'm back for now...if only by way of procastination. Heard the new Charlie Hunter yet? Mistico is a wad of acidic, rocky jazz. Chuck's been getting a little edgier with each new release, and I like it. I also like how quickly he manages to shit out fresh material. I think you should buy this. Charlie Hunter Trio - Speakers Built In [...]

My last post included a nod to Minneapolis' The Honeydogs. Their latest has grown on me since then, so here's another from Amygdla . Buy this album now .
