This was a great gig at Cotton Museum in Memphis, TN. The place was in the middle of downtown Memphis, right next to the Tennessee River.
This rhythm section was directly from Southern Comfort Jazz Orchestra & we were used to play together. So many interesting things happened since it was a small group & there was not too many restrictions compared with big band.
We had a lot of audiences this night & enjoyed playing. I liked the duo thing I did with Ant. He has a lot of ideas making music interesting.
Ben Simpson on drums & me playing bass!
It was a pleasure to play in this venue since there are so many great musicians plays here. There were a lot of audiences this night & thanks for coming! It was interesting to see those who dance well with music!
We played at Java Cabana in Midtown Memphis, TN. We had a huge audience this night. This was my 3rd gig after my jazz gig for private party & reception at Holiday Inn on the same day and I was playing almost 10 hours in a row today. It happens all the time, so it’s alright. I was exhausted after the gigs, but it was fun!
I am almost playing here South Main, Memphis almost every Sunday. This is the most beautiful & historical venue in Memphis right next to the Civil Right Museum. I played with so many great musicians here such as Jonny Yancey,
Renaldo Ward, Sal Crocker, Benjamin Pierre, William Dougherty, Ben Simpson & I am very honor playing with them. Show up on every Monday night & enjoy the best music & soul food in Memphis!
This gig was at EP Delta Kitchen and Bar on Beale Street, Memphis TN. It was the first time playing with Di Anna & I was little nervous. I was trying to follow the changes she was playing on the piano.
I learned so many things from her. First of all, she picks the tunes from her audiences & their temper. She just provides what the audience needs & I think it’s very professional.
She called me one of her boyfriend & I am very honor about it. This means I have 3 girl friends (Pixy, Bass, Di Anne) now
