Taking me back 2j

This was not rekindling past memories, but it was a finality for the busy night at Smiths.  Thus 2j.  I play classical with Jeremy and we often talk jazz and teachers and techniques.  He was playing the next day at a small coffee bar near ASIO HQ in Campbell and invited me along for a listen.  I chatted with various jazz mates and families while Joel and Jeremy played a string of standards.  Both played well but I was particularly taken by regularly neat and quick solos from Jeremy.  Interestingly, I could hear Eric Ajaye, one of his teachers, in his slides and tonality, it being an ex-Eric bass.  A nice interlude on an increasingly stormy Sunday afternoon. 

Jeremy Tsuei (bass) played with Joel Dreezer (flute, sax) at Purple Rain bar.
