london, uk @ jazz cafe
just back from 4 days in the camden area of london where we played a very wicked special show at the jazz cafe. all gear functioned perfectly thankfully for an enthusiastic sold-out audience and blessed with incredible sound by jc in-house sound engineer kevin…it was a busy week bustling around london to robert elms bbc london show with a live performance of ‘time’…then on to a lengthy soundcheck and back later for our show which featured many new tracks that we hadn’t performed live before from ursula’s new album silver or lead…many highlights and re-arrangements as per usual
but based loosely on the album:: this (with beating heart via mpc2000), soon (featuring my first attempt of playing piano on my digital guitar to astounding effect), untitledflow (some folk-hop for the masses), and 2blues track – brainstream. ursula and i were at one of our highest moments of live performance here and the BBC was on-hand to record the entire show for an airing later this year. aftershow: met many wonderful folks…especially enjoyed watching the BBC engineers crawling around my gear to see how i was getting all those different sounds… eventually, after packing up, i took to the streets of london for some site seeing through soho, tralfagar square, downing street, big ben, the houses of parliament, and a wonderful sunrise on the thames near the milinium wheel…an hour cab ride back to hotel for 1 hour of sleep and then off to the BBC to record three acoustic tracks for the radio show the breeze sessions…further bustling around london afterward…to puma headquarters…then off to a guy called geralds flat where ursula recorded a new track for his upcoming release…back to hotel for some sleeeeep finally…but the lack there of was well worth it…brilliant as they say.
