last night in Madison

Monday 20th May 2019
Cafe Coda, Madison, WI

Bathing in the dazzling light of St. John Coltrane, after watching the JB3s "Funky Monday" jam (a weekly thing at Cafe Coda). Amazing players, pumping out jams with the highest energy, regardless of the tiny, seated audience scattered around the bar. On the way to Cafe Coda, Peter took me to meet his friend Jim, a sound engineer of the highest order, prog-head and surround-sound freak. All the classic prog vinyl gatefold sleeves pinned to his wall. He was responsible for an unofficial public release of a surround sound mix of Pink Floyd at Pompeii, after an intact celluloid copy with the magnetic audio tracks turned up in a library in California. I didn't get a chance to hear it, but he did play us some stunning surround mixes of live performances he captured recently, including the Hanan Jon Taylor Artet. HJT is a jazz legend and owner of Cafe Coda, his band sound something like this:
 


 

Great stuff, now back to Canterbury...
