It feels good just to check your postings guys. It seems as if you always have an ace up your sleeve when you speak about jazz. Great music, love it.
pjw, when I saw the news about Gilberto, I remembered you and your admiration for Gilberto.
Speaking of jazz sessions, had a privilege to attend one yesterday.
The live jazz show as the part of the summer festival was held in a small but pitoresque town called Solin - a town with rich cultural and national heritage, located on the river called Jadro and in the very vicinity of second largest town in Croatia - Split. The romantic place with warm and intimate atmosphere. A perfect place for jazz.
I went there alone since my friends do not listen jazz at all. Why they do not listen it, can’t tell but I am sure that the reason is, among other things, in the fact that jazz shows are not happening that often. You can’t learn to love, what you can’t see or hear, right?
Anyway, I was in my little black dress, all dressed up, looking all shiny under the city lights. Ok, maybe I was not quite like Bety from orpheus first post but I surely felt like it. That counts too, right?
The guys were good. Their rare YT link:

Couldn’t figure was that because they heard good music (the door were widely opened) or it was getting too cold outside so they had to take a cozy shelter somewhere.
All in all, jazz rules. Ok, maybe not all jazz. Other music sucks. Ok, maybe not all other music.
But...
