Acton Jazz Cafe/Acton, MA 2/8/07
Back last Thursday night for this great blues jam. Downbeat Magazine just listed this club in it's top 100 jazz clubs worldwide. Of course no jazz tonight-just blues. Got to play a 5 song set with Chris a fine slide player leading things throughout. We finished things off with a blues rumba, a beat I haven't had the pleasure to play in a while. There was also a conga player tonight and I love to play with another drummer most times, except this guy did everything he could to play constant "fills" during the slow blues numbers. No feeling here, just making sounds with every little percussion toy he happened to bring along. Hey I know it's a jam, but please, enough is enough. One of the organ players brought in his own Leslie tonight, so they had dual Leslies hooked up. A lot of sound, but it wasn't any kind of a stereo experience to listen to.
