Yesterday 6/04/04 was the 1st night of the RIJF I missed David Sanborn (never really been a big fan of the la la jazz anyway *shrugs*) but I did catch an exceptional set from Matthias Lupri Group w/Donny McCaslin - Matthias is an amazing Modern jazz vibraphonist (check him out live if you have the opportunity, you'll be kicking yourself if you miss it) - Tonight is going to be amazing Sam Kininger & Oscar Petterson! can't wait...

I had a chance to catch DJ Rap last night after shooting @ the fest she is even more gorgeous in person & gives great big hugs!! - Her set was sick as hell, mixing skills are flawless, track selection was wicked - The club had a proper sound system and the vibe was lovely...She played @ a killer new club here in the City called "ELEMENT" (I want to big up Herb! thanx for taking care of me @ the club your the bomb!)

Allright gotta bounce I'm off to get ready for the Jazz Fest tonight...hopefully there's going to be some great after hours music @ the Crown Plaza, you never now who's going to show up and sit in down there...

~sending positive vibes~
