• Jorge Luis Pacheco: piano.

JLP's manager was doing cell phone videos from the front row. Presumably some of those will end up somewhere on the intertubes.

Audfellow was there to document the occasion: you can hear his recording via DIME.

I thought this set was terrific. Like Audfellow, I could have done with less singing, but that's not a knock on JLP's talent in that department, just my personal preference. And like Lerond (commenting on DIME), I would have preferred to see JLP stretch out stylistically instead of staying in the lane established by the Buena Vista Social Club. Maybe next time he'll have something new and different to share with us!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
