• Isabelle Demers: organ.

Hmmn. Looks like I must have lost today's timestamp data. Or maybe didn't take it? Hard to know exactly. Better to have dealt with it when the recollection would have been fresh, I guess. So anyways, another sloppy report!

I liked today's show, though at this point, I can't really identify anything particularly exciting to say about it. Always good to hear some Bach, and the Reger work was pretty interesting – might be a good thing to follow up with some exploration of his catalog of compositions on a slow music day. Glad I attended!

Met Ting at the Grove afterwards for a quick dinner, then over to SFJAZZ for tonight's gig with Adam Theis et al
