Reaching Back and Getting Current
I just returned from London last night, having played The London Jazz Festival on November 19, 2010.
It had been—strangely—EXACTLY a year to the very date that I had last performed with the band on November 19, 2009 in Chicago for a film event. That gig denied me seeing Vic Chesnutt at the Cedar Cultural Center. He committed suicide about a month later, on Christmas Eve and frankly, I’ll never recover from his departure, but wish him goodness, comfort and mobility—wherever he is.
Sadly, there are few photographs from Chicago, but thanks to Anna for providing us stage for that advertising industry blitz.
I never posted photos from the last two shows I played with The Bad Plus from 2009 and in an effort to make this blog complete, I’m going to go back before I go forward… and… here we go!
