1. Eugene Chadbourne is one of a kind: Saw him for the first time Sunday night at Durham's Arcana, a complete pleasure listening to his versions of Monk, Ellington, Coleman, & Alice Coltrane, the last on banjo, the former on what looked like a custom electric 12-string. He was aided & abetted by saxophonist Annalist Stalls (aka She Who Keeps Her Light Under A Bushel Basket).
