Friday night it was Soul Suppliers, followed by Levon Ichkhanian and ending with Ivana Santilli. You can follow the link above for their bio.
- The Soul Suppliers were great... some fun, lively, jazzy funk. They're a fun band with lots of energy.
- Levon Ichkhanian is a great guitarist. His world / jazz stylings were great. Not as much stage presence as Soul Suppliers but still a great concert.
- Ivana Santilli. We left early. She didn't connect with the crowd. I got the impression that every movement was choreographed. She has skill as a musician, but it seemed to be more about her than the music.
- What a contrast with Santilli. These guys were having fun. Luis Mario Ochoa's band did a great job. It truly was jazz. Four band members, including Luis Mario Ochoa, trumpt, alto sax and congo were late because of a flat tire. The rest of the band: piano, drums, electric bass, drums, tenor sax and trombone started the set. They then brought on a drummer from a band who played earlier and as part of one song he and Cimarron's drummer, now playing congo, did a great duet. Even though the crowd wasn't big at that time - they had a start time of 5:30 and it had just stopped raining. But they were very appreciated.

I thought you might be headlining - giggle ~8)
But rumours are about that your were caught noodling on the clarinet and occasionally banging the bongos in Ochoa's band.
