Pamela in Tachikawa

12-1-2012


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...

My gig at Half Tone went well.

When I arrived at Half Tone,
to run through a few tunes with Keisaku,
Inada-san, the proprietor of the premises, and himself a decent guitarist,
allowed me to try using his guitar,
a beautiful electric Yamaha
modeled to resemble and sound like a Gibson Les Paul.

What a beautiful experience for me, to go electric !

I played on the second set, a few blues numbers.
One of which was the Rolling Stones tune,
"No Expectations".

Keisaku backed me up on piano beautifully.

There is nothing quite like playing for yourself...
