The best way to describe Kuumbwa is to think about the slip playing in your living room. The room itself is very small and cozy with carpeted floors and paitings of jazz ledgends on the walls. Show started promptly at 8pm and opened with Catacea. The first set was filled with older tunes. From Catacea they went into what i think was Johnny's tune but i could be wrong. Rustic hop and then Highlands followed, with a really nice solo intro by brad on Highlands. Sometimes theres wine was dedicated to Brad and Andrews mom who was sitting front row. The set ended with Aptos.
This is where it all gets a little fuzzy. The second set started with the Nylon-string Indian instrumental. At the end someone yelled out asking for a song name. Brad said it was a song of unknown origin and left it at that. Next song was Soft machine. For the third song brad picked up his black and white guitar ( stratocaster ?) and played a song familiar to me and played at the last sommerville theatre show which segued into what I called the sector 9ish techno song from yesterday and then back to the original. The sector 9ish sound has some great looping effects by brad. After that, a few ballads, Rhythm-a-ning and an encore. For the encore brad asked a guy in the front row what he wanted to hear. I didn't hear what he said and didn't recognize the song, but it was a slower/ ballad type song. Another good show...the first set had better energy I thought but the Song of Unknown Origin and the sector9 ish techno tune were definitely highlights of the second set for me. yoshis anyone? --------------------------------------- ** We welcome your thoughtful comments - especially newbies!.
