Zapato Negro

Sitting in the booth recording Zapato Negro, the club is full, the band sounds killing and the sounds to tape are sounding really wonderful. It was a suprisingly busy week at the club this week. I wasn't expecting much to happen on Wednesday night when Crash returned but we had about 45 people here which was great. Our 2 For 1 Entree on Thursdays special seemed to help the crowd last night as we had just under 50 people last night for The Morgan Childs Quintet feat. Chris Davis. Unfortunately I wasn't at the club to hear the band but I can imagine that it was pretty dam good. Tonight ia basically sold out as is tomorro night so it has been a good week at a time when things are usually not that hot! Lets hope it continues till at least the end of next week when we close for a few weeks!

Im looking forward to the break. I acutally get a month break from the club which is very cool. During the two weeks we are closed we're gong to be doing some small repairs and touch ups and basically chill out and try to relax!!

In the CD player or record player this week:

Anniversary Quartet - You'll See, a classic Cellar Live recording with Eric Alexander, Peter Bernstein, Mike Ledonne and Joe Farnsworth. Its such a great cd!

Ugetsu - Live At The Cellar, another Cellar LIve date that sounds so good, I have loved this record since it came out but am growing to love it even more with every listen.

Scott Hamilton - Back In New York, with the Bill Charlap Trio. This is a great disc and Scott Hamilton doesn't get his deserved credit. He sounds big and robust on this outing swining like crazy!

Thanks it for now!
