I'm choked... Jason Moran and Wayne Shorter are on the same night! Is there anyone on here that could tell me any POSSIBLE way I can see both? Presumably if they're both headlining, there's NFW.

Also, just for the record... here's a list of people I would love to see play Vancouver one day (either festival, or non). Branford Marsalis Quartet, Chris Potter's current band with Kevin Hays and Scott Colley and Bill Stewart, Kelly Jefferson/Kelsly Grant Quintet, Roswell Rudd, Wynton Marsalis (either with the LCJO or Septet), Ingrid Jensen (with or without project O), David Sanchez, Kenny Barron, Chick Corea's New Trio, Greg Osby, Steve Coleman, Kevin Eubanks, Marcus Roberts, Elvin Jones, Joe Lovano, Eric Lewis, Joey Calderazzo (with Branford's band, would be fine), Jeff "Tain" Watts, Larry Goldings, Peter Bernstein, Christian McBride, Geoff Keezer, McCoy Tyner (preferably a solo concert-- if it could be arranged), Roy Haynes, uh.... uh.... Sonny Rollins! OK, I'm done...

Alright, I just read my retarded list. There's a lot of random names thrown around... all guys I love and respect. I guess for me, the three top bands I would like to see play Vancouver would be Branford's quartet, Wynton with the LCJO or Septet, and Maybe Greg Osby or someone like that. Maybe we could start a thing where everyone lists their top three bands that they'd like to see play Vancouver.

PS: This is in no way meant as a bitch on our current, wonderful festival lineup. Just kind of bored and dreaming.
