Jazzy...!!

Had a good time today at the jazz fest. Witnessed some alternative as well as classy and sophisticated jazz acts. The first trio was from Pondicherry called 'Three Raags' and their music was a kind of fusion of different styles. The bassist, Mishko M'ba, was amazing! He played a fretless with a bronze plated neck! And guess what, I got his phone number! We asked him to conduct a workshop, hopefully it will work out. After that there was the Eric Lohrer Quartet who played very classy stuff and the saxophonist was brilliant!
That sounded like a 10 year old writing about his picnic trip to his grandmother! Anyway...
