Hi!Damon Last nights gig at Jazz @The Chambers was in my view one of the best gigs Ihave heard in the past twelve years I have been involved with at Rawtenstall. Yutaka Shiina Wow!!what a pianist Lionel Bocarra & Pete Turner superb Loved your playing not keen on your choice of music stands hope to see you again soon DENIS
I have come back to listen and I had chills listening to the intro to "Mojitos" as it tuned me into "Salt Peanuts" with Charlie, Diz, Al, Tommy Potter and Stan Levy...and then, I felt Miles on the Birth of the Cool on January 12, or was it the 21? in 1949 and I was enriched and ready to begin the beguine with that Latin vibe...I don't usually like today's groups but you did it...thank you....from all the big guys up on the big gig.
hello. how are you since the last time? I hope everything is OK.I would be very happy if we could play together again.you know that you can come and play in toulouse when you want. we stay in touch. FRED from Toulouse
Thanks for the concert at the Camion Jazz in Normandy last week, was a great night. I hope you liked it! The third song (Harold something maybe?) was the best thing I had heard in a long while. So good.
Hey Damon Have a happy holidays and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Killing tracks on the new CD. Well done. Hope we have another play in the new year. PEACE JT P.S Jon and Carol sends their regards.
Hey damon, thanks again for La Reine Blanche. you're my favourite trumpet! I see you will be at the Houdon new year! that's funny, I spent a great new year there ages ago...maybe i'll come down with my tap shoes?! Love Lucy x
