Live Blog - Rodriguez Brothers at Gracie/JVC

Well, the weather in New York is cooperating enough. We're live at Gracie
Mansion with the Rodriguez Brothers.

6:17 And we're off! The first tune was a blazing number called "Rowdy Rod."

6:24 Vibraphonist Joe Locke has joined the rest of the ensemble on stage.
They are Robert Rodriguez on piano, Michael Rodriguez on trumpet, Ricardo
Rodriguez (not one of the brothers, however) on bass, and Johnathan Blake
is the drummer.

6:25 "Like Joe," with Joe Locke.

6:31 Gary Walker just informed me that this band also plays with Joe Locke
as the leader. The group changes their name to Force of Four. And if you're
in Newark on June 26th, you can catch Force of Four at the Newark Museum
for the Jazz in the Garden Series. WBGO's Sheila Anderson is the host. Go!

6:39 "Sundance," featuring Joe Locke soloing. Also a nice solo from Michael
Rodriguez on flugelhorn. His choice of notes reminds me of Woody Shaw.
And this song also has that kind of vibe, too.

6:50 This one called "Rude Awakening." As the title implies...
Yet another tune for the absolutely effortless mastery of Johnathan Blake,
one of the young masters/monsters on drums.

6:57 Wow. What a piano solo.

6:59 The skies have gotten AWFULLY DARK. Uh oh...
We might be ending this very soon.

7:01 Everyone in attendance has huddled underneath the tent. And the band
is trading fours.

7:04 Due to extremely bad weather, this show is OVER.
