Dafnis Prieto

I love this track from Dafnis Prieto. Following the interesting introduction there's an imrpovisational section that grooves on a symmetric clave rhythm: 3,2,2,3.

Sold Out

There should be a blog site entirely devoted concert reviews of music performances that entirely sold out ... meaning that every seat in the house was taken. I've been to two recently. Robert Ashley's Opera "Concrete" and a young jazz pianist Gerald Clayton. Both shows were phenomenal. Best Opera and straight-ahead Jazz I've ever seen. Here are some links below.
