Porta - the Jazz Protagonists live

Recently we took part in the Witte Museum and KRTU Jazz Radio's "Live at the Witte" series of summer concerts. They've turned out to be a blast: the gorgeous, leafy grounds of the Witte create a casual, relaxed atmosphere that brings out the best in jazz groups.

Greg couldn't make it for the first set because of a late plane flight, so our friend Brandon Rivas came and served as special guest bassist. (When Greg arrived he persuaded Brandon to stay and we had a two bass hit.)

Fortunately, the whole thing was recorded by KRTU's engineers. Unfortunately, it wasn't caught on video. Fortunately, though, my wife brought the flip, and shot this whole song in its entirety.

The song itself is "Porta," a latin number I wrote for our 2003 CD "Blizz Blazz," which is available on iTunes, Amazon, and through our website.
