3 March 2010 at the al-Maidan Cultural Centre
Having read, before travelling to Kuwait, that music life (of any kind) is scarce there - what was my surprise (and delight) to discover a concert on the second day after my arrival! Not just any concert, but a JAZZ concert ('my kind of music') performed by a rather fine ensemble. Playing classic standards and soul songs, the truly international band featured some excellent instrumentalists and a great vocalist - all led by a talented young man, who played piano and bass guitar, sang and had done all the arrangements.. (all credits are at the end of the clip)
Even more of a surprise was to find a compatriot among the band (you may excuse the fact that one musician features prominently in my cellphone photos :) Glimpses of the experience were captured using my trusted Sony Ericsson phone (stills, as light was too low for video; even stills are of poor quality - and only few, so they had to be repeated and a few city snaps inserted for variety). Audio clips were separately recorded - with surprisingly usable quality for a phone recording :)
All rights of the performers are acknowledged and respected, this is only a tiny clip for non-commercial use among friends.
REALLY NICE BRAZILIAN MUSIC!!!!! (Desafinado)
Good Job!!!
