i saw you a couple sundays ago with Karen Briggs. i meant to comment then. that off the cuff sax blew my mind. it was intense. i listen to rock mostly, but live stuff is why i love jazz. i really can't even listen to it recorded. it needs to be experienced. between live jazz and live rock, there's just no comparison.
