Dogg's Jazz Musings

[El Perro]

Virasoro Bar back with live jazz and lots of it (see listing under "bars / restaurants") A small place with a beatnicky, mostly college age crowd. A good, relaxed place to see jazz, much of which is "cutting edge" and not for the Lawrence Welk bunch.

[Big Bob 7]

I have never seen him play but I think that the poster for the Dave Holland show tommorrow listed Otero as the opening act. Check it out.

[El Perro]

And, Thelonious is back open with music beginning this Friday. That was a pretty lengthy shutdown.

[El Perro]

Papa,

Yeah, it was packed out. I think last night was his last gig there for the moment. That is a very good place to see music. Not too big, not to small. The acoustics are ok, the place is not too formal. Plus, it gets you out of the "safe" part of town for a change.

[El Perro]

Yes, Maceo is coming to town and will be at La Trastienda. Where I went last night and saw The Mariano Otero Orchestra. A fine, tight, talented bunch of guys, though not quite my cup a tea. Big bands in general not at the top of my list (unless it's Duke during the Hodges heyday). Anyway, they were definitely worthwhile and the drummer was a motherfucker. Nice venue. My first time there.

[JengisKhan]

I know its not jazz. But I heard from a friend that Maceo Parker is coming to town soon. Too bad I won't be here. Not sure where or when but I'm sure someone on this board does.

[Big Bob 7]

Does anybody know where I can get tickets for Dave Holland in Palermo? Can you only get them at the theatre? How much are they?

I found the answer to my own question today when I saw a poster advertising the gig. Ticketek is selling them.

I am going to finally catch the Mariano Otero bunch at La Trastienda tonight. If you are interested in joining up I'll be there about 8:15 as advised by Bacchus9.

BTW-I checked out a Beatles "tribute" at Gropius Bar in Palermo over the weekend. Avoid. They sounded like off key Beatles combined with the Manhatten Transfer. Not for Beatles strict constructionists.

From a recent e-mail I received. I went to have dinner and see a performance here last month. The particular music that night was not my kind of jazz, but nonetheless this is probably a pretty good e-mail list to be on if you want to keep abreast of everything that's going on around town.

Finally made it to La Trastienda last night to catch this 13 piece orchestra doing original jazz works. 15 pesos is the get, a very good medium sized club with tables and table service for drinks.

And these young guys plus the older drummer are ripping good. If you love jazz, if you love jazz as played in the northern hemisphere, if you love the idea of catching inflections of latin music in jazz, if you love harmonies and brass solos you shouldn't miss this. Otero is the band leader and plays stand up bass.

Every Monday in September at 9 pm, Balcarce 460. Suggest you arrive by 8:15 to get good position, but even if late I don't think there's a bad seat in the house.

[Bacchus9]

Every Monday in September @ 9 pm at La Trastienda Blacarce 460.

Bass Player and composer Mariano Otero has formed a 13 piece orchestra billed as "exciting".

These can be great venues a la Charlie Mingus big band in Manhattan and Pearl's in San Francisco.

Every Saturday in September at Clasica why Moderna @ 10 pm Callao 892

Fats Fernandez trumpet player "one of the most beloved Argentine jazzmen of all time" blows Porteño blues.

Bacchus says check it out

[Bacchus9]

Last night tomorrow, Thursday, to catch this German opera written in 1928 which captured the new jazz age, the music and the promise of the new America for Europeans.

You'll likely have to cop a ticket and a seat from someone selling at the door, but vale la pena. That's how I got mine at 120 p and great location, mezzanine, row 11 on the aisle no less. Teatro Colon.

[El Perro]

Anyone happen to catch the Zo'loka? Trio at No Avenstruz (Humbolt 1857) this past Saturday?

Nice write up beforehand in the Buenos Aires Herald. I wanted to go, but got diverted.

I got diverted also. It did sound interesting.
