Last night's jazz expedition was well worth it- saw a Grammy winner perform Nat King Cole tracks in Spanish with a fantastic band at a place called Birdland (Ed you would have loved it). We were playing 'keep each other awake' with an 11pm starting time.
Mountaintop on Broadway was great- very much made for the African American audience with Martin Luther King Jr. day coming up.
For a little while it felt like the scene in Animal House when the frat buddies see Otis and the band outside of their neighborhood. Some people had travelled to NY just to see the play.
Got to meet Sam L at the stage door after he show- both he and Angela Basset were flawless. 90 mins, no intermission, one scene.
On our last day in NYC we fit in as much as we could- bring on UK!
Birdland is famous, that would have been waaay cool...
ReplyDeleteThat is what they told us! Hard to tell who is legit in the USA because they are all 'world greatest/biggest/longest/most satisfying/amazing/awesome....
ReplyDeleteBirdland was awesome though- can highly recommend. Buy a discount broadway ticket beforehand and you get in for half price.
Wow guys!! Jase will be so jealous when he hears you met Samuel L! Sounds like a very memorable day. X
