Sure. Did they surpass your expectations?

Hazards might be my second favorite by them, you really have to see it live. The Ice Queen was one of the most badass people ever. Really high energy throughout. After that song it became essentially a greatest hits show, which was also really cool. Colin made sure he played the worst song he'd ever written in a historic venue like Radio City. In the middle of Chimbley Sweep, there was a dueling solos section between Colin Meloy and Chris Funk, who is actually an amazing shredder and finger tapper. And to retaliate, Colin played random notes, or a botched cover of Blackbird. The cover of Crazy on You with the two female vocalists from Hazards was really amazing. The guitarist of REM showed up for the encore with Begin the Begin and then an awesome singalong version of Sons and Daughters. 2nd best show I've seen after King Crimson.
Setlist:
The Hazards of Love
The Crane Wife 3
July, July
Billy Liar
Sleepless
The Bachelor and the Bride
Dracula's Daughter
O Valencia
Chimbley Sweep
Crazy On You
Begin the Begin
Sons and Daughters

According to my last FM charts, I scrobbled a Beatles track once.

Henry, two questions:
1. Do you have any Cannonball Adderley or Charles Mingus? They're both amazing.
2. Which Albert Ayler album should I start with?

1. No Cannonball yet, but Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is mindblowing and transcendant. I do, however, have Moanin by Art Blakey, and it's good hard bop. I miss the days when people played in tuxedos.
2. Spiritual Unity and Complete Greenwich Village Sessions are the two major ones, and while Spiritual Unity tends to be the one that makes Best Of lists because it was the first time his idiom really came together and it was the first major album on ESP Records, I like Greenwich Village more because as a double album it's a meatier sample of his work and a better value, as Spiritual Unity is only 33 minutes long, and Ghosts is repeated, albeit with a different improvised middle section. Basically, Impulse! > ESP :P
Have you heard Out There by Eric Dolphy? It's very interesting avant-jazz but with more of a focus on strings. I need some more of him, among other things.
I was excited to hear Art Ensemble of Chicago Live in Paris on eMusic, but whoops, nobody remembered to tell me that the sound quality is atrocious! I'm not an audiophile, but if this is the best you can do for a live album, just don't even bother with one...At least I only blew 4 eMusic downloads on it.

It's okay to not like the Beatles. It's NOT OKAY to say they had no talent.

I agree; Black Saint is absolutely amazing. In my top 5 jazz CDs ever, I'd imagine.
Art Blakey is pretty good. I really need to hear more though; I've just heard samples at jazz class and elsewhere.
2. Spiritual Unity and Complete Greenwich Village Sessions are the two major ones, and while Spiritual Unity tends to be the one that makes Best Of lists because it was the first time his idiom really came together and it was the first major album on ESP Records, I like Greenwich Village more because as a double album it's a meatier sample of his work and a better value, as Spiritual Unity is only 33 minutes long, and Ghosts is repeated, albeit with a different improvised middle section.

Alright, awesome.

No. Need that too.

I'm usually not too big on sound quality either, but I typically don't care for live albums as much as studio albums (though it entirely depends, and jazz is better with live than rock, most of the time).

Okay, I really don't like them so that may interfere somewhat with my judgment of their musical ability.
