live jazz is the best kind..
though i love listening to jazz vocals, the best kind of live jazz is when there is no singing involved. reason being i tend to really listen to the voice if its the dreamy kind and wish i could sing like that, and then temporarily forget about the music.
its the best kind when you get to lose yourself in the music and just, as someone kept repeating yesterday 'layan'.
was at no black tie yesterday listening to a jazz trio comprising of 3 young and not bad looking guys. not that i wouldnt have enjoyed it even if they were old and ugly yah?.
the music was just.. great. the trio was made up of eric li, fly and john thomas. someone kept calling eric 'happy fingers' . i disagree. id call him extremely happy fingers. or magic fingers even. he plays the piano btw. fly on the bass/double bass and john on the drums. superb superb. they also had julian chan helping out with the alto/tenor sax
theyre playing again at no black tie tonight with a guest trumpeteer if anyones interested. would definitely go again if it were not for laundry's anniversary which i most certainly am attending tonight. loads of acts performing and theyll be recorded live with the result of a compilation cd. will finally get to see rhapsody again after a looong break. cant wait cant wait
