Bob James palyed all the smooth jazz hit songs.

"Taxi" for encore. He is such entertainer.

I wanted to drink his wine listning to his show but there's no distributer in Colorado.

After the show, I was offering sample to the people,

"Would you like his own brand of wine?"

A lady said, " No thanks, I'm his wife."

 

She said, " I changed my mind. I'll have some."

y: I never gone to your show in Japan. Have you played in Japan.

b: Acutually, I just came back from Japan.

I went to Earl Klugh's show twice in Japan in 80's.
I was so excited to see his show again.

e: Oh my gush! that's not album sold in this country.

y: I got this in Japan.

I was back side of this hole and I was not agressive to go up front and take picture.

Joe Sample shows up as acoustic jazz trio.

No gimic. Even his smooth jazz songs, he played as streight head jazz format.

I was guessing from albums,his left hand would be way left side of piano since he sounds strong base but actually he plays cneter to right. So, is his heavy basy sound coming form voicing???

 

I heard he was Dallas Cowboy's ticket holder and he would go to Super Ball.. in Jazz Trax.

y: So, did you get seeing Janet Jackson's breast?

j: No. something was going on and I did not see. I saw it in internet later.

So graceful.
     
It was so beautiful place. garden, lake, mountains..    
   
There was US ice skate museum. Wohall's print, a lot of medalists' costumes and medals displayed.    
  Before going to show, world championship started on TV, Micheal Kwan was 4th place on short progrum because she was over 2 seconds.
