Tonight, the Albuquerque Cuban/salsa/meringue group Son Como Son is in concert at the Michael Palm Theatre at Telluride High School.
These guys are good, infectious with their music. It’s a nine-piece Latin band which opened last summer’s Telluride Jazz Celebration. Tickets at the door. Info: 728-7009; or, www.telluridejazz.org.
Of jazz, and the TJC….
Think guitars, and jazz vocals. The lineup has been announced for this summer’s Telluride Jazz Celebration, Aug. 2-5, in Town Park.
This year’s “guest of honor” will be John Scofield, one of the most progressive and influential guitarists of his generation. He’ll sit with the Trio Beyond (Jack DeJohnette, Larry Goldings) and along with organist John Medeski and drummer Adam Deitch.
Other notables: the Bill Frisell trio. Frisell was ‘Downbeat’ magazine’s 2006 guitarist of the year. Trumpeter Roy Hargrove returns to Telluride with his quintet. Hargrove is a charismatic two-time Grammy winner. Also, Latin jazz Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval (trumpet), the Steve Turre Quintet, Dr. Lonnie Smith. Vocalists: Argentine sensation Roberta Gambarini and Esperanza Spalding.
Kicking off the Friday night R&B portion will be Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, a nine-piece funk/R&B band. Jones used to tour and record with James Brown.
Discounted passes are on sale.
There are a number of sponsors, including Heineken, Kendall-Jackson wines and the Montrose Daily Press.
More of “going green”…….
The Notebook belongs to the National Conference of Editorial Writers and there’s been some lively e-mails back and forth this week regarding alternative fuels.
In Wisconsin, there’s a push to turn manure into fuel, and how the average dairy cow generates 10,000 gallons of waste each year. “It’s got to go somewhere,” laments one “opinator.”
In Maryland, there’s a similar manure movement for chickens. In North Carolina, so says the Winston Salem Journal, it’s hog poop they’ll be filling the tank with.
