Hey everybody

I love small, intimate concerts. And last night it was one of those … with monster jazz players Kenny Werner Dave Liebman Johannes Weidenmuller and Peter Erskine…

Imagine the night coming on a smart castle in one of the temple of French red wine Saint Estèphe … the artists coming on the scene smiling just in front of the enter of the castle in a beautiful green garden … Music begin with one composition of Kenny Werner complexe and beautiful around some beguin rhythm … already i am captured… 1h30 without interuption the musicians alternating between beautiful melodies and complex rhythms that i sometimes i cant even count :wink: … the night comes down on the castel the music is here … with the freshness all listeners are huddled on themselves or their spouse … the magic is here … the magic of the moment … the magic of music…

Sounds wonderful. Kenny Werner is great, as is Liebman and all the others you mention. Last night, I went to a Chinese garden here in Portland, a lovely, tranquil setting for a jazz concert. Connie Han and her trio performed. (I’ve posted some videos of her here.) She is quite good, but they treated their performance like a bar setting with two 45 minute sets, and chats between each number. The presentation was awful. I wish I had been there to enjoy yours instead.
