The weather here in Norway is pretty damned cold and snowy at the moment which is why all of my friends and family back home in New Orleans always ask me, "Why in the hell are you in Norway!" Well, the simple answer is, the work is good. We've had great tours since the beginning of this year. Beautiful audiences, beautiful music, both jazz and gospel. I really have no complaints at all. None. Let's add to the fact that I have a wonderful man here as well!
We recently did a concert in Sarpsborg at Glenhuset to a full packed audience, who were lively, very enthusiastic and loved the music. They were a joy to play for. The gig was hosted by Sarpsborg Jazz Klubb via Bjarne, www.sarpjazz.no
That's Bjarne up there.
We played 2 sets. We've added a lot of great music to the YSJ set recently. Lots of great standards, blues and a couple of pop tunes re-vamped to make them YSJ-style!
We play in Sarpsborg fairly often, but I must admit, this concert was by far the best. Great time! We've been invited back to do a Christmas concert next year. That's the lovely thing about Norway. You perform places and when all goes well, you can mark your calendar for a repeat performance. I guess that's why YSJ is booked thru 2012! But the work is real good...
