Home Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

That kind of stuff can be mind blowing live/in the moment...

but it usually doesn't have any legs when it comes to playback.

As Gertrude Stein wrote about Oakland: there is no there there*.

That's my take on most avant gardish jazz..

And I adore the music of Sun Ra, who could get as out as any.

*funny thing is Koncets Cultural Gallery - a GREAT outside music venue- was in Oakland
so there WAS some there threre once.
