(TV) RE: Jazzmaster



I was there.  Tom Verlaine and Jimmy Ripp played early in the evening, the
first act of the Jazzmaster portion of the show (there was an opening act
called Edison Glass from Long Island).  They played one long 30 min or so
piece that morphed towards and then away from "The Day On You", which drew the
only vocals from Tom - the rest being instrumental.  I made a recording of it
which I'll be posting to Dime either Monday or Tuesday, schedule determining.

I really enjoyed the entire evening, it was quite a line-up!
