Anna Callahan put on a remarkable concert this evening. She did this move in one of her scat runs where she started off low in her alto range, and worked upwards, transitioning to a lip buzz in the middle (like playing the trumpet), and came out the top in a whistle register. It was very, very cool. It’s been a while since I heard good jazz. This band was great, and the venue was small and intimate. Someone described it as “like a comfortable living room.”
Anna and her sister both made an impressive show of remembering me from the years and years passed since we’ve been in the same state. I passed on greetings from _earthshine_, and Myfanwe inquired after ctmzeus. The only down side was that the place was an hour and twenty minutes away, and the show started at nine and ran past midnight. I’m beat. Goodnight.
