Listening Back: Jazz By Numbers
From soloist to quartet and everywhere (duo and trio in case you needed it spelled out for you) in between, Jazz By Numbers on Tuesday was a night of instrumentations of various size.
Tonight, there’ll be a rather interesting show at The Camel presented by Alan Parker: Trio of Justice and Brian Jones will be performing The Brian Jonestown Massacre tunes — as well as a few Brian Jones and ToJ originals.

The music at RVAJazzfest on Saturday was, quite simply, amazing, and those who came to listen were rewarded. It really didn’t matter what was going on outside or what the day had been like in snowy Richmond; Trio of Justice, Jones+Kuhl, and Ombak put on one hell of a show.

In an exclusive video interview, they all speak with the same humor, spontaneity and sophistication that inspire their music.
The second RVAJazzfest will feature master saxophonist, composer, and band leader Tim Berne performing with Ombak, as well as Adam Larrabee Trio and Trio of Justice.
Alan Parker 5, Jason Scott 5, and Trio of Justice transformed Monday night with all new music. There’s a theory going around that Wednesday is the new Saturday in Richmond. Does that make Monday the new Wednesday?
R2Dtoo continues to make a statement as a strong new band in Richmond. Check out a scene from the first tune of their set this afternoon at Black Hand Coffee: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXWsDB0d-eo&hl=en&fs=1] R2Dtoo is: Reggie Pace, trombone; Reggie Chapman, sousaphone; Devonne Harris, drums.
