Every time I fly which has been often lately, there’s a new charge. Seven dollars for a blanket? Forty-five for five inches more leg space? Bringing a second piece of luggage requires some thought; forget about the bass.
I had a great time at this festival, which was no surprise. They treated us wonderfully and the audience was very receptive to the music we were playing. I hope I get a chance to play this festival with my group in the future.
I’m really looking forward to playing with Benny and Greg Hutchinson Friday night at the Mt. Hood Jazz festival. I’ve played with both individually over the years but this is the first time the three of us all played together since my second CD Bagdad Theater (1997).
Bill Evans with NHØP and Alan Dawson playing Beautiful Love.
I’ve always been struck how this quartet plays with such intensity yet so physically relaxed.
