Music Safari NYC, continued . . .
[Covers the week of January 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 & 7.]
On January 1, Neal and I got the best seats in the house for The Anderson Brothers' presentation of a few of Irving Berlin's greatest hits.
That's Molly Ryan, Will Anderson and Peter Anderson. (Or maybe it's Molly, Peter and Will.) It wasn't too late to sing "White Christmas."
On Tuesday (Jan 2), it was Mona's.
The house band was Jared Engel, Jon Thomas, Josh Dunn (back of head), Aurora, and Tomas Majcherski (not shown above, see below).
A bunch of great musicians showed up for the second set.
That's Jared Engel in the foreground, with Matt Munisteri, Aidan Grant (bartender extraordinaire), David Ostwald (if you squint), unknown and unknown looking on.
Rafael Halvorson-Castillo and Neal Siegal were in for the night.
Jan 3 was a night off . . .
On Thursday, January 4, Paula and I had great seats at Dizzy's for the Mathis Picard Sound Orchestra.
It was big, big sound - definitely one of the major highlights of this music safari.
Mathis was joyful. He's been working hard on this, and it showed.
At his last Dizzy's gig, Mathis got married in the middle of the set, right on stage!
After Mathis, I booked it down to the Village Vanguard to hear the Chris Potter trio.
He's a great player, but I must confess that the jazz he played was too abstract for my taste.
On Friday, January 5, Neal and I headed over to Barbés to catch VickiKristinaBarcelona.
VKB is a project by Mamie Minch, Rachelle Garniez and Amanda Homi that reimagines the songs of Tom Waits. I don't know as much as I should about Tom Waits, given how important he seems to be to musicians I admire, but I'm guessing the emphasis is on, "reimagine."
In a set full of surprises, the most surprising performance of the evening involved Rachelle ringing tuned ceramic hand bells - precisely and skillfully - to play a melody.
On Saturday, January 6, it was raining and the 1-2-3 subway was not running due to a derailment, so I opted to stay closer to home.
Neal and I caught yet another set of "Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes," at the Motto Hotel (by Hilton) on 24th street. That's Charlie Judkins on the keys, Brian Nalepka on bass and Miss Maybell strummin on the old banjo.
Margaret Batiuchok was dancing up a storm to Miss Maybell. She got this young dancer going . . . very charming!
On Sunday, January 7, the usual crowd was at The Ear - and the more regular players in the Ear-Regulars. Maestro Kellso on trumpet, the beard of reeds-player Scott Robinson, Matt Munisteri on guitar extrordinaire, and Pat O'Leary on bass (see below).

Delighted to be premiering a new trio at Barbés in a couple of weeks: The Setting - featuring the wizardry of Elias Stemeseder on keyboards and Will Graefe on “acoustic” guitar.
I’ve written new material and the songs float around in the territory of electro-acoustic improv art pop…. May 14 is a Tuesday and we hit at 7pm, 376 9th st Bklyn

Live music is coming back to New York! Finally. Here’s a custom drawing I recently finished of @paddyreillysmusicbar in Manhattan, one of the greats, with live music almost every night (well... when there’s not a pandemic, that is). This was commissioned by a guy for his girlfriend, as it was their favorite local place for music. (Contact me if you want your own custom art, via link in bio or dm.) Where do YOU want to go for some live music now that we’re veering back into Normalsville? (Me? Arthur’s in the West Village and @barbesbrooklyn in South Slope.) . . . . #livemusic #nyc #manhattan #kipsbay #murrayhill #guinnessbeer #irishbar #irishmusic #greatgoodplaces (at Kips Bay NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPlazR1Devo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Great stuff from Barbés in Brooklyn
I went to Barbés to see Miss Maybell on 1/12/23. She's bad, and that's good.
But I arrived early and got to discover Quince Marcum and his bouzouki, covering a wide range of genres and geographies from India to depression USA.
