"Why hello there Arnaldo ~
Our August 23 show at JB's Lounge in Sacramento was memorable. It was a musical moment of the type that sustains me through the harder gigs -- you know, those that require protective padding or ear plugs. I do hope to be back in Sacramento soon to work with Scott Collard, Jeff Minnieweather and Rob Lemas again. We performed the world premiere of my extremely timely, true-to-life song, I Wanna Work for You (you can hear it on my YouTube channel). We also nailed O Silencio de Iara, a Guinga tune (and those are never easy).
My friend Doran made some great audio recordings, which I am still sifting through to share with you. We also have one video -- dark, but good sound. Hope you like it!
September 5th I'll be at a much-loved SF waterfront location, The Ramp, singing salsa with Andy y su Orquesta Callao. Last week we played Roccapulco in SF and Montero's in Albany, premiering some new material including Por Ese Hombre (with three lead singers), I Will Survive and Como Si Nada.
Next week, check out my jazz trio with Bob Karty and Vince Mansel on Thursday. I will be flying by private helicopter immediately afterwards to another salsa gig in Clayton, at Sazon. No, not really. I will be driving -- unless you have a helicopter you'd like to share?
Have a great weekend.
