• Tal Mashiach: contrabass;
• Nadje Noordhuis: trumpet, flugelhorn;
• Malcolm Parson: cello;
• Anthony Pinciotti: drums;

Well tonight was really rewarding, even if the only new tune was Fleck's Sleeper; I would attend even if Lôro was the only tune promised! On the other hand, now twice bitten (xref other AC10 shows, like this one), I think I'll make sure that the group has an album of new material to promote before seeing them again.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
