The Other Musical Event Tonight

Italy is not only operas and classical music. After the opera, gelato in hand, I headed down to take in the second show.











It turned out to be some funked-up jazz. Or maybe some jazzy funk. My apologies for the pictures. An iPad isn't ideal for night photography.

I had my iPad because the music wasn't so awesome that it demanded my full attention, so decided I could start my opera post while listening to four guys jam.

The base player kept waving to the sound tech to tell him to turn up the volume on the keyboard.

The saxophonist also sang. It was more than a little disconcerting to hear a older black jazz sax player with big hair sing...in Italian.

They called it a night at 12:15, and now that it is 12:45 I probably should, too.
