Spring Jazz Jam Take 4 / Michael Bowie ( Bass ) and Gene Bertoncini ( Guitar ) Jamming With Drummer Ken Kimery / March 2009 @ Lee & Leslie's

As I have been saying all along this Sunday afternoon of live jazz at Leslie and Lee's home in 2009 was an experience not to be missed and one that I treasure as a great moment for me to be so close to these fabulous jazz musicians as they played together and off one another and alongside one another. What an amazingly rich and vibrant and lively/thrilling/inspiring bunch of sounds they intertwined together to make this music that as I see and listen to it and them play it now makes me stop in both awe/appreciation and amazement.

Everyone involved deserves a big hand of applause. Karen , my friend and photographer took my " raw " foot age of this event and has really made it so much more complete and watchable. Thanks everyone, cheers, TONY

PS : Look at all these live jazz " takes " and there are still more to come.

Spring Jazz Jam Take 6 Michael Bowie ( Bass ), Robert Redd( Piano ) , Marshall Keys( Saxophone ) @ Lee & Leslie's Home March 2009 / 2nd Event

This was truly inspirational for all of us lucky enough to have been invited over to Leslie and Lee's for a Sunday afternoon treat of live jazz, food and wine and whispered conversations in 2009. It's such a great thing to see how Karen has taken the " raw " footage of this event and woven it together to help show how these four musicians played together and added their own spin on the jazz music for it to be so rich and inspiring all in one. I love it : I loved filming it. I'm all inspired.

Everyone involved deserves a big round of applause! Enjoy this and the other several " takes " that will be downloaded here for you to enjoy. Cheers, TONY

Live Jazz Music Take 5 ; Robert Redd ( Piano ), Michael Bowie ( Bass ), Marshall Keys( Sax ) & Gene Bertoncini ( Guitar ) @ Lee & Leslie's 3/3/09

This was such a fun ( 2009 ). impromptu moment for me and I loved watching and listening to these very talented musicians play off of one another/inspired by the others/watching sometimes the others as they played to them and with them and alongside them ; intertwining melodies and weaving their own notes into a fabric of existing sounds already to make the whole richer/fuller and more alive with all the highs/lows and middles that make a listener gasp and be stunned into almost a blithering state of wonder and disbelief and awe at having just been caught-up and swept along on a musical journey to match them all ... I loved it, really. This was a great event in the home of Leslie and lee celebrating and playing jazz. Everyone involved deserves a big round of applause.

Here with the help of my friend Karen Akerson ( a good customer of mine as well ) and photographer : she has taken my " raw " footage of this afternoon in Maryland back in 2009 and given it a bit more life and structure. Cheers, TONY

PS: There are two more here that I will download in the next day or twoo so stay-tuned for more. TONY
