concerts 2006
I'm probably forgetting a few, but hopefully I'm not making any up. Those that weren't written about here or elsewhere have brand new witty commentary attached.
I'm not entirely satisfied with my concert-going strategy. When I realised that I had passed up Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, The Roots, various John Zorn incarnations and Chick Corea (among others) and gone to only one real jazz festival the entire year, I knew something was wrong. I'll have to find a better balance between the big and/or international and the small and/or local and at least a couple of festivals.
