I’ll be buzzing for days from the incredible evening of music and his band treated us to at last night. Two sets of the sweetest, twangiest, rockingest, and most beautifully-crafted country music you can imagine. A thousand thank yous to Ags, his stellar band, and to for brilliant support music. Gig number three for The 2 and the 4 was truly one for the books. ❤️

A few magical music moments in Mexico that we stumbled on. Often operatic and many other styles contribute to the incredible vibrancy of the places we went.

Thank you Don Glori for two superb sets of music last night at the Moth Club! Sometimes spacey and ambient, sometimes fast and funky, I really loved the originality and the vibe of this bass-led band of badasses. Great choice putting this on in our ‘hood, Ronnies, keep it up!

Hot hot stuff from the 8-piece Malgre Tout at Nola Jazz Club in Mexico City last night. This clip is pure horn funk but these guys mixed jazz fusion, Cuban, ska, and a whole bunch of Latin influences that are beyond my depth to parse. Super creative music and players with serious chops - thanks for a stellar night gents and keep it up!
