Jazz at JJ's - April 1, 2011

Tyler Kittle 4-tet!

Blowin'

Mr. T, his bad self.

Preston, of the Vertigo Jazz Project. This one turned out well

Dancers. The average age of the audience members was about 60. They applauded loudly. I wonder how the tipping was.

Joe

Sean, also of Vertigo Jazz Project fame.

They let me sit on on a few tunes in the second set. I had tweaked the chart of my tune "Pensativo," so we played that.

Only the shells remain. That's why I wanted to take a picture; to capture the intermediary stage between the phone being gone, and all traces of the pay phone being gone.

Spring Threatens to Break Out

Chimichurri and T-bones

The steaks, from Warren Wilson College. Grass fed beef. The green sauce: parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, paprika, oregano, salt.

Tyler's Quintet at JJ's (Feb. 5 2011)

The cats were sounding fine. Bless their hearts for letting me sit in, and agreeing to play my new tune, "Pensativo." Got some good feedback from the band.

My cell phone takes pretty good pictures. I just push the button. Yesterday during my bike ride.
