Getting out 5/7/07Ok. Now that I've been back out on the jazz scene. I'm definately not disappointed. I stopped in at Chris' Jazz Cafe and stumbled upon a nice quartet, The Torben Waldorff quartet. Torben was accopmanied by tenor man, Donny McCaslin, Matt Clohesy on bass, and on drums, Jon Wiken. Although I missed the first set, the second set didn't let me down at all. They breezed through the playlist with no problem and really worked together as if they were playing together for years. After the set, they had time to talk and were really nice guys. They didn't have much time as they had to drive back to New York that night, a two hour drive from Philadelphia. It felt refreshing getting back out to photograph some exciting moments with the band. Hopefully it won't be long before I get back out again.
Afterwards, I walked the streets to catch some nightlife. This, my friend, is another topic that may take up massive newtork space. I'll post some photos in the future of some of my different night strolls. To be downtown Philly between the hours of 10pm and 3am is in itself, a whole new expreience. People are heading to the clubs in a frenzy to meet their next score. Whether that be a male or female, or the next drink of choosing.
Either way, the pairing up ends up twisted and sick by the time club night is over. Drunkidness, silliness, and tiredness don't make a good blend! Afterwards, all is calm again....
