The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet Live at the Alabama Art Kitchen, Tuscaloosa, 2012
The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet consists of David Dove on trombone, Damon Smith on bass, Jason Jackson on saxophone and Alvin Fielder on the drums. On Sunday 5/13/12 they played a first set of free jazz that lasted about an hour, and after an intermission, a 20-minute second set. It was altogether a great way to end the Alabama Art Kitchen’s two year run in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Closing the Alabama Art Kitchen with Alvin Fielder’s Houston Quartet
The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet was performing at the Alabama Art Kitchen in downtown Tuscaloosa. Sadly, it was the last night for the Kitchen, which is moving out of the historic Victorian building on University Boulevard which has been their home since 2010. Ultimately, they intend to continue their arts workshops, but they will no longer have a building.
On Sunday 5/13/12, I decided to drive down to Tuscaloosa, AL for a performance by the Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet, the latest group put together by my friend and mentor Alvin Fielder, the incredible Mississippi jazz drummer. The drive down involved some occasional rain, and when I arrived in Northport, I found that there was a Wintzell’s Oyster House there, so I decided to have dinner there before the show, and it was a good choice. Not only is the food great, but the view of the Black Warrior River and downtown Tuscaloosa is beautiful.
