Making music
If I could I would sing and possibly, even though I always wanted to sing like Jessye Norman, I might want to sing a song like Li Saumet from Bomba Estereo because Fuego has that right sort of beat, impatience, and youthful energy that lordy I wish I still had. But last night we went to see a different sort of music and that is instrumental and honestly, I have to sing the praises of Astral Project just one more time – the way Steve Masakowski plays the guitar, it sounds like some other instrument – it’s really incredible. We’ve heard parents all around the globe send their children to study guitar with him. Johnny V on drums and OMG, you cannot take your eyes off of James Singleton as he moves up and down and all around that bass (someone asked me at Jazz Fest why his bass was so dark and turns out it is a fluke). World class is all I can say – that we can claim them as our own, makes New Orleans an epicenter, that I can claim him as a neighbor, lucky me.
