Autumn evenings,
experiencing music!
This is October…

Last night, I went to see my friend Ken Simon,
here in Tokyo, on a mini-tour, from NYC.
My old friend Hiroshi Yamamoto joined me to go see Ken and the guys
at Bright Brown, in Nakano…
The Ken Simon Quartet :
Ken Simon - tenor and soprano saxes, flute
Kazuhide Motooka - piano
Alan Gleason - bass
Tatsuya Nakamura - drums
The show was wonderful.
It was great to see Ken again, as well as Alan G., on bass
and Motooka-san on piano.
I played with Kazuhide Motooka long ago...
It was good to hear him play again!
It was my first time to meet drummer Tatsuya Nakamura,
his playing added a fiery dynamic to this well-balanced unit!
Ken was in great form, effortlessly changing instruments
with each tune selection...
A diverse roster of tunes it was, also.

It was an enchanted night, with Autumn’s chill in the air,
watching the street-fashion of people adapting to the weather,
seeing old friends once again,
and enjoying Live Jazz!
Till Next Time...
