I can’t really tell you how my show went last night. I wish I could but my psychic powers have been on the weak side lately. Actually, I am writing this on Friday because I most likely won’t be back in the studio in time to put up my Sunday morning music and it is such a regular habit for me that it bothers me when I miss a week.
But I will go out on a limb and guess that last night I saw a lot of folks that I haven’t talked to in a while, that everyone at the Kada Gallery treated me great and that it was, all in all, a wonderful night. Fortunately, with only a rare exception or two, most of my shows have followed that simple script.
I will let you know if there was any deviation from the norm in the next day or two.
Today’s music is a jazz classic, Caravan, composed by the great Duke Ellington in 1936 and performed by a wide spectrum of jazz artists. There are over 350 recorded versions of this song from Ellington’s band alone. But the version I chose is from the late jazz pianist Kenny Drew , Jr. I think it’s a really impressive version.
To accompany it, I chose a painting, In the Rhythm, from the Kada show that I think has a rhythm and feel that matches that of the song. So give a listen and have a great Sunday.
