Last night I saw Chris Botti at the Tilles Center in NY. I've seen him before and always left impressed. Last night I think he took it a little EZ on himself. He could afford to. With a band including Billy Childs on piano and Billy Kilson on drums there was no lack of jaw-dropping performances. A good show and a good time was had by me &7 the Ms.!
My bro turned me onto a trumpeter that somehow had escaped me. Tomasz Stanko. I'm now mesmerized by this guy. If he was off your r.a.d.a.r., check him out. He somehow reminds me of both Miles & Chet at the same time. I'm liking this a lot!
