Your last concert was to see who and when?

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - Last Evening at my Local Record Store - Plaid Room Records - Loveland, Ohio. Plaid Room has a sister company - Colemine Records who do a lot of new and re-issue soul and funk. Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio is a newly signed band on the Colemine label. They were at Plaid Room to help celebrate Record Store Day 2018.

A good time was had by all. The Trio played a really fun set out on the patio. Terry Cole - Colemine Records recorded it and hopefully it will result in a new live album on the Colemine label.

We ran into Delvon Lamarr a little earlier in the evening at a local restaurant. Had a nice conversation with him. He seemed like a genuinely nice person and seemed very happy that he was recognized on the street by a fan.

Jake Bugg last month. Was great!

“Fabulous” concert yesterday, April 22/18, by pianist INON BARNATAN,  put on by the Vancouver Recital Society at the melodious Chan Centre,UBC in Vancouver,BC. Musically and intellectually lucid and uplifting. Absolutely masterful playing. He provided an incredible program including Handel,JS Bach,Rameau,Couperin,Ravel,Thomas Ades,Gyorgy Ligeti and Samuel Barber with only 5-8 second breaks in between. The assembly and playing of a musical genius! After intermission, Johannes Brahms Variations on a Theme by Handel Op. 24. Brahms was in the room! Inons relaxed and intimate stage manner;icing on the cake! My seat was AA12. Front row,aligned where the keyboard meets the body of the well worn Steinway.  The intimacy of this setting is transfixed in my mind as his face remains melded with the piano. Overall, a most intimate, organic and inspiring moment with a gracious master that all classical piano lovers should seek out. 

Kiddman, you and I have communicated before regarding the robust musicality of the JBL DD 66/6700. Your keen ears would have appreciated the utterly perfect seating I enjoyed.  A most intimate experience with the enormous scale,precision, grandeur and delicacy of one of the world’s great pianos played by an inspired master. Would have been nice to have you there;and enjoy the afterglow. Best regards. Pete
