Clever move. Now back to the thread: Adrian, since you are too stingy to spend most of your budget hiring Jessica Williams for Wang I am giving up lobbying on her part, even though Ms Williams is acknowledged by anyone with a brain, as one the greatest living jazz pianists, who will probably retire soon anyway. Pity al those Australian young pianists will never get to see her live. Oh well. Instead, I am shifting my lobbying to a return to Wangaratta of the original line up of IshIsh, please? TownHall or Playhouse please (forget the other venues, yuck). On the subject of Wangaratta, some of my punter pals and I (you know, those of us who actualy pay to go) reckon it would be helpful if there could be some indication in the big program if the ensembles are going to play exactly the same set for the whole festival. Yes, we're talking about improvised music, but it may help to make that vital decision when there are several bands you want to see, all on at once. |

I understand what you're saying about repetition of setlists (even where the performance of a song can vary significantly from one set to the next).............but what do you think the chances are of getting bandleaders to advise setlists a month out from the gig ? Even if they did, of course they'd probably change their minds on the day (or night).

Seriously, over the years I have made many, many Wangaratta suggestions to AJ - ranging from the serious and practical to the outrageously selfish and absurd.
And he's ignored every single one of them.
So I'm more than happy to let him go on his merry way.
Besides which, as I've pointed out elsewhere, the highlights for me are frequently provided by Australians, and there's always a stack of 'em.

Jazz is a Creche for tin men(horn players ) who need to keep a form of music alive which allows them to participate. Thats why they build walls of opinion around it and seem to have a distinct Idea about what it actually is:
One big undisciplined Cadenza

Wang needs an Austage reunion please Mr Jackson! Tim Stevens trio, Bernie McGann trio and [glow=red,2,300]ISH ISH[/glow] Ish Ish has been called for from other people besides me too. Please, you KNOW it makes sense. Anyway it would help put the ghost of the crazy man to rest for all of us!
Talk about stressful work. Working in warzones had nothing on that tour.

there was only about 3 of us (besides the original ish-ish horn section) at the ish-ish pm's II horns gig at lebowskis.... and that was fucked. but despite that, I reckon ISH are THE austrlian jazz band.
AJ! call ronnie and instruct him that the band IS getting back together.
he'll listen to you. he's not fucked. not completely.
WNG WANG WANG ISH ISH ISH!!!

An Austage reunion sounds like fun Vicki. It would need a stage manager though.....a man well-versed in the skills and diplomacy needed to organise gigs at a bigtime festival.......there can only be one choice.............
Would Ronny get the band back together if I told him he was on a mission from God ?
