My gig at Half Tone went well.
It was biting cold outside!
My last gig of the year, so far, coincidentally,
is also where I started this year...
Joining me on piano was Hiroshi Tanaka.
Hiroshi and I worked together some time ago at Club Kei,
with Stan Gilbert, on bass.
Hiroshi was in excellent form,
it was a pleasure to work with him, once again.
On bass, was Alan Gleason.
We met this past Summer,
on one of the hottest nights, ever, in Tokyo.
I was going to a live house to see an old friend,
NYC based sax-man, Ken Simon, play.
Alan was on that gig.
I had heard of Alan before,
but this was our first time to work together...
He is a good fit; as I thought he would be,
when I heard him play on that extremely hot Summer night in July!
I felt very relaxed, singing with these guys.
Mr. Inada, owner/guitarist at Half Tone,
recorded the performance,
with future YOUTUBE uploads to come...
I'll keep you updated, on that...
Till Next Time...
