Virgil does jazz?!

That's awesome. Ok I'm in the club now. he swings I'm happy. The trading 4s section was real nice. great players my kind of group! Solid!

Kenny,

The Keyboard player Austin Peralta is (was) only 22 years old.
He died last November of a yet undertermined cause.

I thought he and the guitar player ripped the jazz section in this.

..

Tremendous!!!! ....

Peace, TED

Yeah Don, I saw that. Unfortunately the Highline Ballroom is a stand only venue, meaning no seats. My days of standing for complete shows are over so I will miss that one too.

Thanks!

Peace, TED

Ted,

At the Kummbwa in Santa Cruz, I stood for both shows. Not
because they didn't have seating but because they were sold out
and had standing room only. I went up into the sound booth with
Franz but it's small and me sitting there would have somewhat
impeded what he needed to do.

The shows were so happening however that the standing really didn't
bother me. Plus I was walking around taking pictures anyway so no
big deal.

Don,

My injuries don't make it possible for me to stand for any length of time without pain.


On a brighter note, that guitarist in the video will be a part of Chick Corea's new band called The Vigil when they tour later this year so maybe I will get a chance to see him then.


Peace, TED

The Vigil?! Charles Altura will play guitar? I gotta look into that.
I understand about your injuries, Ted. I was just making conversation.

Interesting story here concerning the tune "Spain."

Ted,

Sorry to hear about your injuries.
I understand.

Don,

Some very cool stuff at @3:00. An
incredible development regarding
the keyboardist. Tragic.

This was a special configuration. I
like the guitarist, too.

Regards,
