Had a great time last night getting blown away by Boneshaker (two-third of this power trio pictured above: monster drummer Paals Nilssen-Love and master bassist Kent Kessler; not pictured: sax wizard Mars Williams). They delivered a hard-driving set of blistering free jazz alternating with quieter pieces colored by Nilssen-Love's quieter percussive tricks. Opening up for them was an amazing effects-laden trumpet solo piece by Timothée Quost, who later joined Boneshaker for their final piece. I missed Big Ears this year, dammit, but at least I got to see this, right in town!
