CONCERT RECAP: Dragon Smoke @ The Mint LA 12/12/12
Certain celestial alignments skip decades, if not lifetimes, or at a minimum, involve covering great distances at greater expense. Think solar eclipses, Comet Hale-Bopp or if you get around, the aurora. Even then, there is the unexpected cloud cover that can scotch the most anticipated and well-planned events. While the... more

PREVIEW: High Sierra 2012 Artist Playshops

PHOTOS / VIDEOS: LMB NOLA presents Garage A Trois @ One Eyed Jacks, 5/4/12
We were fortunate enough here at LMB NOLA during this year’s Jazz Fest, as we made new friends, wished old friends goodbye, and generally had way too much fun and saw way too much good music. If you’re reading this site there’s a good chance you did the same... more

PHOTOS: Luther Dickinson and Friends @ Maple Leaf Bar 2/10/12
The term "Superjam" can get thrown around a bit around here, but the minute I glanced at the listing of local players gathering around Luther Dickinson's 3-Night residency at the Maple Leaf Bar, it was apparent that some Jazz Fest After Dark-quality improvisational jam sessions were going to transpire in... more

Like many local super groups, Dragon Smoke, a New Orleans group made up of Robert Mercurio, Stanton Moore, Ivan Neville and Eric Lindell, formed in 2003 for a one-off Jazz Fest Super Jam gig and has played sporadically ever since. As the good word has spread about their rare blowouts,... more

LMB NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar – Aug 30 – Sept 5
Although Hurricane Irene ended up being rather wimpy -- considering all of the preparations and dire warnings -- it certainly screwed up a lot of NYC concerts and festivals this past weekend. Brooklyn Bowl had to postpone BP's Saturday show, so I was denied what would have certainly been a... more
