This was recorded July 18,2007 at the New Orleans National Jazz Historic Park which was founded in 1994 to feature and honor America's own original music, JAZZ.

Excellent!

[jazznbear]

Good idea except for the flow of traffic that never ceases during the concerts. I always worry the camera will get knocked over by well meaning audience members.

By the way the piano is a Pramberger, rumored to by manufactured in either the Balkan states or Korea.HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Sounds like you could use a tripod!

[jazznbear]

It is the Martha half of Jim and Martha that does the filming. I have yet to figure out how to film what we do together. Guess you will just have to come to NewOrleans to see it for yourself!

[idasynco]

Hey, thanx for taking your camera with you, so all can see what we are missing...sigh...what alot of music going on in other parts of the country!

[jazznbear]

It is not a great piano. It has problems with repeating action and the pedals jam. The US gov't got it at a discount. I will contact you with the brand name after I do the upcoming concert this Weds. Thanks for listening!!!!!!!!!

[idasynco]
