    mainstream jazz. something good. no local bands. there are no good websites with events on the web anymore. everything is scattered. took me 15 min to find out where jim mullen is playing the next weeks and i probably missed a lot. jazzconcerts . com lists 2 (!) concerts for amsterdam in march. and appearantly i just missed the euro winter tour of sarah hanahan.

    Everyone is local to some locale. Just go to NYC. For the weekend. That's what I'm doing just next weekend with the whole purpose of hearing "the locals".

    Saw Dave Douglas here (UK) on Tuesday, I thought it might be a bit way-out for me, but actually I really enjoyed it, he has an amazing band with him.

    Also saw Nigel Price with his organ trio the previous week, that was great too. His organist (Ross Stanley) brought 2 leslie speakers to the gig, to get more power! He plays a real Hammond (a C3 I think) and has a special tractor gadget to carry it up stairs.

    What I wouldn't give to get out of Texas and to Europe for a weekend....

    If I was in Europe I could probably see an actual pro blues band. Austin area has become a shell of what it used to be so quality blues is pretty slim pickings now. Sad but true. There are a few jazz clubs here though if anyone is ever coming through.

    Somehow jazz clubs held on to an identity but blues clubs turned into blues rock turned into fleetwood mac and tom petty and then went belly up. There is one operating club in the entire state that I'm aware of that still ONLY books blues and it's in Houston.

    over here it is usually a mix of blues bands and tribute bands in those clubs as well. i recently went to gigs by poppa chubby and laura chavez. which were both great. i still wanna hear rick estrin who has the best blues guitarist on the scene today, kid andersen.

    Pete Bernstein will be in Europe but not next week. I am sure he will be in Brussels around beginning of April…

    The Kid is a great player. I'm not much a fan of rick estrin or poppa chubby though.

    My thoughts on who the best blues guitars on the scene today would be Chris Cain, Saron Crenshaw, Jr Mack, Kirk Fletcher, and DK Harrell. Anson Funderburgh and Jimmy Vaughan are pretty swell too.
