Your last concert was to see who and when?

Well the jazz concert to see Carl Saunders last night was great!

Parking at San Diego City College was easy - no traffic, no lines, and no charge.

Jazz88.org/KSDS 88.3FM has their studio/broadcast facilities on campus, so their website offers free parking passes for every concert - just print them out and put it on the dash.

Got there a bit early, went to the box office to pick up our free tickets (as a jazz88 member, I get two free tickets for every concert!), then wandered about the campus.

That was a bit disappointing - everything seemed to be closed down for the evening, not even an on campus coffee shop, so we walked across the street to the McDonalds for some coffee.

Waited for the doors to open and the line was quite small, went right it in and got great seats, row 12 smack dab in the middle.

The Saville Theatre seats oh about 450? Not too big, not too small, every seat has a good view, no obstructions, good acoustics.

And Carl Saunders played a wonderful jazz trumpet concert. He came down from LA and played with some local SD talent for his backup 'band': piano, stand up acoustic bass, and simple drum kit. Head bobbin', toe tappin' jazz goodness!

Concert started exactly on time at 8pm- cuz it airs live across the radio and the internet world wide and it finished at 9:30pm. So 1 1/2hrs was perfect.

A quick walk back to the car afterwards and we were on the freeway back home within 5 mins!

Can't wait for the next concert in September!

Steely Dan and Elvis Costello at 360 Amphitheater, Circuit of the Americas.

Last night Ronnie Earl and Dianne Blue at Space in Chicago. They played for 3 straight hours Ronnie is truely amazing at 60, I cant even imagine what he must have been like in his prime. Space is a awesome place to see a show.

Also went too Steely Dan a couple weeks ago, great show another one off the bucket list. Elvis Costello opened i guess I dont get it very forgetable performance.

Saturday night, the opening concert of the three week Twin-Cities Early Music Festival in Sunden Music Hall in St .Paul by the Lyra Baroque Orch.
Program of 4 Concertos , 1 by Telemann,1 by Vivaldi bookended by perhaps the greatest examples of counterpoint ever written, the two three-harpsichord concertos of Bach !
Ending Bach was done as well as it can be done and got a ten
minute standing ovation accompanied by VERY loud vocal acclaim ! Music was so good it REALLY was hard to believe it was written by a human being ! Musicians were even freaked out and clapping and hugging each other to death, as fine concert as concerts get !
