A night of Afro-Cuban jazz at the magnificent Bing Concert hall. Big band - 15 musicians (6 drummers!) and 3 dancers. Great fun. Latin jazz is so cool, yet so caliente. Orestes Vilato was amazing and stole every moment he was on - so jubilant and so on point whenever he cut in with his percussive attacks. Bobi Cespedes, the only performer I knew from her former work with Mickey Hart, was so regal and surprisingly didn't touch a drum.
Been really digging jazz lately. I think I'm finally at a point where I can understand the fundamentals of jazz vocabulary. And it's amazing.

Dig it, baby, and leave Squaresville behind.
Jazz has something for everyone. Latin Jazz is big and full of life.

Cigars are way too much tobacco for me. Gives me a headache.
I don’t know about fedoras? I’d probably look like a chinese gangster. I mean, even more so than usual. I’ve been thinking I should change up my hat game tho. You think I should look into a fedora?

Definitely a fedora. Angular faces can wear fedoras. Egg-shaped noggins like mine can wear longshoreman knit-caps.

I dunno man. I think a fedora would be too pretentious looking for me ... that’s sayin a lot, I know.
Egg-shaped heads can rock skippers’ hats too. And sombreros.

It’s all about the accessories.
Just no badges. You don’t need no stinkin badges.

crossed bandolieres would be a good look on me. Not on you, though — too angular.
