Jamming at Blue Note

It's Sunday night.. I should be in Hsinchu, sleeping. But no.
I'm spending the night in Taipei, because I went to Blue Note over at Shida Rd.

Tonight the Kate Jazz Trio was playing. Kate is the pianist who I am currently playing with at the Jo Jo Ma Quintet.
After a beer by myself while listening to their latin-influenced jazz, she called me over to play a couple of tunes with them.

I apologetically sat behind the drums and asked Kate: "What should we play?"
To which she answered: "Don't worry, we'll play latin stuff, you'll figure out, you're latin right?" Love it. Sure I am

That couple of tunes ended up to be like six, including Oye Como Va and my all-time favorite jazz piano tune, Spain from Chick Corea.

What a great evening, makes me want to brush up my latin jazz skills a bit more..

It won't be my last Sunday night in Blue Note.
