Nice to see you on the boards, Chung.

I think I’ll be at the McCoy Tyner gig on the 5th.

Looking forward to hearing and seing him on piano live. You?

I had the good fortune of seeing Kenny Garrett on Saturday and also have tickets for Omara Portuondo next month. If I hadn’t made prior vacation plans for this week, off to Rover Beach, then I most certainly would be going to witness Hiromi’s Sonicbloom!
