I don’t think I mentioned this but several weeks ago we had the good fortune to see the Monterey Jazz Festival band play. They were amazing. I had already decided that Terrence Blanchard was my new musical crush when his Katrina album came out, especially the song Ashe. Now I have more musical crushes and that’s a good thing.
Our seats were close to the stage but off to the side and some may have been disappointed but we were thrilled because we could watch Kendrick Scott play the drums. Drummers are usually tucked away in the back which is a shame. He had so many tools and different techniques to make his drum kit wail. Oh, and he was cool too. His CD The Source is on its way to us. We received Bounce by Mr. Blanchard today. I’m digging it.
