Anything Goes - Herb & Lani's New Release - AUG. 18

[Rudy]

They'll be in Iowa City in November. If they don't come near here in Texas then I'll probably go north in September to see them. Right now it looks like I'll try to see them in both Brookfield, WI (just outside of Milwaukee) then to Naperville (just outside of Chicago).

A Cubs playoff game??

Where is the Naperville date listed? I didn't see anything on their site. That might be doable for us also, provided it's a weekend (or close to it).

Ah yes... No one sits in a window more sexily (is that a word?) than Lani. Herb is one lucky dude!

hoping he crossed no line here...

Thanks Harry - How could I forget?!

Wasn't the Classics cover used originally on one of teh Latin releases? Maybe Es Facil Amar?

I haven't got my collection at hand to check but either you or Steve will know without checking!!!

 

[Rudy]

I still hope for a Michigan date, although given the lack of decent performance halls around here, I don't blame them. Nobody wants to drive into Detroit to see a gig, and there really aren't any jazz venues in the 'burbs or even in Ann Arbor since the Bird of Paradise closed up.

 

[Harry]

It looks like about the same distance for you (Rudy) to go to Naperville or Pittsburgh. A quick check in Google shows about 4 1/2 hours either way.

We usually do Naperville in about five hours, but that varies based on traffic, and the route we take (which depends on construction). It's a nice destination though, and located on the river with some good restaurants in town.

 

[gameenjoyer]

Nice to see them coming to Iowa. Iowa City would be a good three hour drive for me (and, upon looking at the list, they aren't coming any closer). Looks like tickets aren't even on sale yet for that one though, so I have time to determine whether the drive would be worth it, and I'll have the advantage of having the CD (hopefully) long before the date of the show.

Just saying University of Iowa is a bit vague though. I'm not that familiar with the campus, but it must be quite big. Do we know any more specifics about where on the campus the show will be, or will those details have to wait for a future time?

Hey, they've done it two years in a row. Not that it did them any good, however....

It's a Sunday night gig. Let me know if you can make it. We could definitely hook up there! Can you say 'pizza'?

Well...the new album popped up in the "coming soon" section of our ordering website today, still with the May 26 release date. UPC catalog number is 888072314412.

 

[Nathan Strum]

It's also showing up on Amazon, with a May 26th date.

 

[TonyCurrie]

Have ordered mine via the Corner link.

Have ordered mine via the Corner link.

...........but received this from Amazon this morning:-]

Estimated arrival date: August 31 2009 - October 08 2009


Ah.

 

[Mike Blakesley]

That sure is a weird range of dates...Aug 31 is a Monday, Oct 8 is a Thursday. But new album releases come out on Tuesdays. Oh well, it IS Amazon, could be some kind of a computer-related thing.

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Just received word from our distributor that the release date is now August 18. I updated the thread title.

 

[aymnostalgico]

Will I experience a few releases of "Anything Goes" when I go see them at Naperville, IL concert on 9/27?

 

[Actorman]

I hope that's not the final cover art. It looks really bad!

 

[Captain Bacardi]

What are you talking about??? It looks great!

Capt. Bacardi

 

[Mike Blakesley]

As a record store guy, I think the cover looks great as well. It looks like a jazz album and the "live" photo telegraphs the fact that it's "live" (in case the consumer doesn't see the word "Live" printed there).

 

[Mr Bill]

...and it will look good on the shelf next to those S!F re-issues!

--Mr Bill

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Darn right.

I'll bet we are the smallest record store in the country which is stocking all of Herb's releases, plus Sergio's two latest. Of course they are all for sale but they also make handy backups for my own collection!

 

[Rudy]

So. how many times have you listened to "...make that funky fresh-a" in the store?

 

[bob knack]

I'm only a short distance from Naperville. I don't see any reference to it on the college website. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Our home page has it listed.

For one gig locally (not Herb's, but another one I saw in March), there were three different sets of dates: Ticketmaster, the venue, and the band's official site. Only Ticketmaster had it right...

 

[JMK]

Got an advance copy today--a total kick to listen to. It's obvious how much fun everyone is having and that comes through clearly on every song.
