So the jazz fest. Friday the first few bands were just ok and we were about to leave and then this amazing band played, the leader was a pianist, Michael Kaeshammer. They totally jammed out. He played this one solo where his left hand was in 3/3 time and then his other hand kept changing time sigs and they would meet up every three or four measures! Crazy.

Saturday we say a bit of Thelonious Monk's son's band. It was ok, he wasn't anything special at drums and the whole band had to read music even though they mostly played Monk's father's songs. At one point the wind blew the music off the piano and the pianist stopped playing picked up the music and went back to it. Come on! Improvise if you don't know it!
