Just back from John Hollenbeck's debut at The Kitchen... I will be brief, as I'm hoping to entice JC to blog a little about his experience conducting this band. But I definintely recommend checking it out tonight if you missed it on Friday (especially since tickets are a mere $10) -- lots of enticing new material, including a (suprisingly) lyrical, chorale-like opening work, and the usual array of superb players, including vibraphonist Matt Moran, pianist Kris Davis, and trumpeter Shane Endsley. (At the post-gig hang, Shane also demonstrated his unstoppable hot-wax fighting style, incurring only minor property damage.)
