Where the Lights Are Low, Hearts That Know No Other Land


We had been anxiously waiting for Django Night at T's since news of its fantastic lineup started to leak. Leave it to Roderick Cumming of the Cat Hair Ensemble to organize such a special night devoted to the original gipsy king. We couldn't possibly tell you how good this show was. Luckily Mr. Cumming can.

We arrived as Tommy Davy was seemingly yawning through some of the most acrobatic guitar runs of the night with spot-on accuracy. After which we settled in and witnessed some great local talent we've never had the pleasure of seeing before... Erich Von Kneip, Tango Nuevo all were wonderful surprises. And those we had seen before (Jessica Fichot, Killsonic, Cat Hair) were delightful as usual. Added to the excitement was the finale of Jeremy Drake and Nels Cline who reinterpreted Reinhardt into the glorious noise they are known for. If you missed the show, be sure to catch the Ensemble at T's on residency nights or any of the other featured performers around town.

Erich Von Kneip - "Funeral for a Romance" (MP3)
Jessica Fichot - "Le Grenier" (MP3)
