Last time I saw it Rudy, Ralph Salmins was on drums although I know that Harold Fisher does it too. I think it's Derek Watkins and Tony Fisher on trumpets, Malcome Edmonstone on Piano(a great young guy from Scotland, who I went to college with), I think Alan Barnes plays baritone, Tara MacDonald sings and Phil Robson is on guitar, not sure of the rest of the band. It may be Dave Olney on bass.

Thanks dazzler. I caught a faint glimpse of the drummer, but couldn't tell. It did go through my mind that ralph might be doing it or even Ian thomas. Harold Fisher, now there's a name I forgot. By all accounts, he was the man doing everything before ralph came along. One of the real heavyweight session guys.

Rob, I'm not sure which night or which gig. NYC can be pretty pricey around the holidays. I may only be able to see HASS play once. I have to decide if I want to see The Manhattan Transfer or Janis Seigel's band. I love Alan Pasqua from the Tony days. I also have never seen The Manhattan Transfer. I heard Hass plays that gig like no other.
What night are you going to Birdland?
I'm thinking about going to Birdland with my wife on New Years Eve. Bringin' in the new year listening to Hassman's beat. Not a bad start. You??
I recommend seeing Janis if you can only spend the cash once. The Transfer is too show like and Steve kills it, but they don't really give the drummer some. Just on a few things here and there. Not enough time to let him really develop a solo. I thought the overall show was OK. Too much "doo bop-ing" for me.
That intro is in six. Hass loves screwing around with 6. Putting phrases of 5,7 and 9 in there as well as displacing beats.
His show at PASIC was dubbed the "the metric freak band".
That intro is fairly simple though. He just diplaces the 8th note.
SDK..
Hmmm. I'll let you know
I WISH I could have gone to Pasic this year. Besides Hass, Antonio Sanchez supposedly gave a great clave clinic.
Rob, I can actually go see both shows. My wife is gifting me the BLUE NOTE show. We're going tonight.
Which set are you going to on New Years Eve at Birdland?
