As a Father’s Day gift, I took my father to a jazz show last night in our small city, a culmination concert for what is known as Django In June. Now in its 21st year (I think), the event (at Smith College) features a week of classes and shows for those who take part, and then there are culminating concerts, one of which we attended last night and were blown away by the level of musicianship.
First up was Eva Slongo and Sam Farthing and two other musicians.
(Note: this is not performance from last night but a taste of her music)
Then, truly amazing, was Joscho Stephan, whose joy and skills had us rapt in amazement.
(Same note: This is not him, last night, but again, a taste of his virtuosity)
Peace (with some string picking),
Kevin
