That's like saying the Marsalis family musicians should change their names... oh wait, I see your point now.

I don’t mind same last name, but first and last identical really gets confusing. 

 

Luckily it doesn’t happen that often. That said I once bought a Bill Evans album without thinking and was very suprised that a) the album was pretty horrible and b) the album was by the OTHER Bill Evans, the one with the horn.

Avishai Cohen, the man with the trumpet.

 

Matt

 

I saw him play in a tiny loft a few months ago.  I sat front row, literally 5 feet in front of him.  That's a unique experience when a trumpet is being played in your face.  Hung out at the bar with Yonathan Avishai and Nasheet Waits.  Bought him a drink.  Nice people and what an amazing show.  I actually stuck around for both shows as they did two back to back.

Oh, lucky!  Are they playing in your new state of New Mexico?  

[I want to hear how the move went and how your custom new house is Jud.  I'll try to phone you this weekend.]

Like Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith? At least the Evans and Cohens can be distinguished by different instruments!

The exact same thing happened to me...!

 

I started listening to the music distractedly and then I asked myself, where the hell is the piano ...?

 

And yes album was pretty horrible.

Jay Farrar

Anderson East

When I went for the concert with Iron & Wine in Gothenburg last weekend I must say that, even if it was Iron & Wine was great, I was a bit more impressed with this. I have been listening to this album ever since!

As a bit of a rocker, it's Iron Maiden for me in the UK in August - Legacy of the Beast Tour. Can't wait.

Would love to see an open air gig in a place like this:

(BTW don't you think that cubes of horse blood with macaroni sound quite tasteful.? )

You and 80,000 of your closest friends

 

Long time out here too, Weezer & The Pixies in August.

7th row center. Take that Ted!

I've never spent nearly this much on tickets before and hope I never do again.

I’m going to drive to MT after the Seattle shows to see them and a football stadium as well. 

 

Good stuff.

I'd say very cool stuff especially that time of year.

I take it you're a big Pearl Jam fan.

I don't know where you reside, Chris, but I've lived in Seattle & thereabouts and was fortunate to be young enough to part take

in the Seattle music scene including the late 80's\early 90's and see all of the bands that made it big & didn't make it big in

the clubs and smaller places like The Moore\Paramount Theaters. Good times.

Been a long time since I've seen Pearl Jam live, 1993, but they put on as good a live show as you'll see, imo.

I can't take the large venues however.

Cool thread!

 

My tastes run to classical, and this spring my travel schedule is aligning nicely with concerts in several cities:

• Seattle: Dausgaard - Brahms 2 (tentative)
• DC: Runnicles - Mahler 10
• Seattle: Beethoven & Brahms
• Chicago (Axpona): Muti - Dvořák (tentative)

Funny story, @Musicophile made a comment about the two Avishai Cohens being a point of confusion that should be fixed, and he and I traded some posts about musicians with same/similar names being confusing/funny. Meanwhile, I had forgotten that I had reserved an Avishai Cohen CD from my local library, and it arrived today. Guess what? I thought it was the trumpet guy when I reserved it, and it turned out to be the senior Avishai Cohen of the six-string and voice. You win, @Musicophile, it is definitely confusing!

However, equally interesting is that I really like the subterranean-Cohen's new album, 1970. On paper, it doesn't sound appealing to me, but I'm listening to it now and I'm really enjoying it. Positive vibes for trying times here in la la land.

So the moral of the story is that confusion may ultimately lead to enlightenment. I've seen the brass-Cohen live, and now that I know of his existence, I will not avoid the subterranean-Cohen if he ever swings to the PNW...
