No, that's not me being clever and displaying a flare for creativity...that's me reminiscing about last night's Bela Fleck show at the Byham. A nice name for a post, and an even nicer name for a bela fleck composition (written by the sax player, Jeff Coffin). I am in a seriously zoned out getting lots of work done in a crazy focused way mood today...thus I'll be brief in my lunchtime banterings.
I spent the weekend in Baltimore visiting friends...it was definately good times, in a mellow way. Lot's of late night bullshittin', some time spent wandering around a festival at Fell's Point (near Inner Harbor), and a couple good meals. A tavern lunch, and a fantastic Sunday Brunch at this little French place in Baltimore..."Crepe du Jour". The crepes were mouth-watering in their goodness. A crepe florentine (spinach, cheese, tomato) for the main course, followed up with a crepe St. Germain (carmelized apples...YUM)...for dessert. But, I have to say that nothing really compares to the musical stylings of Mr. Bela Fleck and his Flecktones back in Pittsburgh last night. The Byham is a smaller venue, which makes for an even more personal experience. The bass player (victor wooten) had a killer solo at the start of the second set, and we had the pleasure of seeing an alto and tenor sax played at the same time. It was a mellow night with a mellow crowd being completely blown away by amazing jazz/jamband talent. And it's nice when the crowd can shout out the random "we're not worthy" and receive a reply...without voices simply getting lost in a sea of smoke and incoherent screaming. An excellent show. "Live art" indeed.
