4/9 at Kin no Tsubo2022/04/11 21:10

Last Saturday night I hosted a night of live jazz at Kin no Tsubo a small bar which has live music 6 nights a week. We had a small number of attendees but they all enjoyed themselves. All the band members are pros which means they live by music. And they are good players so they kicked my ell you butt.

We played 3 sets so I’ll tell you set list. We satrted off the first set with a Wayne Shorter tune called Black Nile. That was followed by Skydive a Freddie Hubbard song. Then we olayed Benny Golson’s Stablemates and we finished off the set with Fantasy in D by Cedar Walton.

The second set started off with a female singer friend of mine. She sang 2 standards (I can’t remember the titles). Anyways we continued with Headin’ Home by Joshua Redman, After that we did Satin Doll and From the Lonely Afternoons by Wayne Shorter from the Native Dancer LP.

The third set started with Joshua . A Miles Davis song which nobody ever plays. Maybe because of the changing time signatures in the solo section. .It’s up tempo so I felt a power decline. Next we played Bolivia by Cedar Walton. Then we played Caravan another up tempo song. By this time I felt like my arm was going to fall off. We finished the night with Cantelope Island by Herbie Hancock

I realize that this post will only be understood by jazz aficionados but if you want to hear these songs then I’d love to have you come to my next live..
