My GLW and I went to the Barbican to see Chucho Valdes and his quartet play. We had front row seats and the lighting was dismal as usual. All of them were wearing grey or black and the backdrop was black. The Barbican was trying to save on its electricity bill. I managed to lose all the images by deleting them by accident. Then a copy of Win Undelete did the job and got the images back.
#1 - Chucho (son of Bebo Valdes) and as close as my zoom would get
#2 - the rest of the quartet in a single image
#3 - the lighting (or lack of it)
#4 - the first bow
#5 - his sister Mayra
#6 - the final finale
The conga player was world class and Chucho is the second best Cuban pianist I have seen this year. The music was a very high standard of Cuban jazz - truly scrumptious. Thanks for looking.
