Sorry for the delay in reporting back about the gig. Part of it is that I feel really silly for not bringing my digital recorder and capturing the gig so I would be able to back up what I’m about to say. Second thing is that I’m still sick. Sinusy. I may have invented a word right there!
Excuses aside, the gig actually went really well. Being forced to really think about every note I produce ended up being quite good for me. It was a fragile situation and I was feeling like I was losing my voice after the first set but it ended up being a really great gig. Of course, I didn’t record it because I was sure it was going to be rotten. Hopefully I’ve learned my lesson. Can’t promise anything though.
I’m heading off to see Melissa Stylianou tonight at the Kitano. Looking forward to seeing her in that space. I think I’ve only been there once and I’ve never heard a singer there. Then I’m off to Joe’s Pub to hear Lauren Kinhan. Should be a fun night! Next week the New York Voices are at The Jazz Standard and the week after Bobby McFerrin is at Carnegie Hall with Alison Krauss and Edgar Meyer. Wow. That should be something.
The episode of Naked Brothers that has my voice in it was aired a couple of weeks ago. It was really surreal to hear my voice on TV. Almost like it was fake…like I had somehow doctored it on my computer. It was very cool. Hopefully I’ll be able to put clips up sometime soon.
Congratulations to my friend Tara Davidson for being nominated for a Juno Award – Canadian Grammy! My brother Ernesto is on the album as well. Tara and I played saxophone together in the Toronto All-Star Big Band when we were in high school and I’m very proud and excited for her!
