Taper's Notes:
D1: During the acoustic numbers, I made some level fluctuations on the V2 in between songs.
D2: The first four tracks are basically a big jam. I put in tracking where I wanted to separate some distinct styles of playing.

The following show review and all pictures of the show included with this seed by Eric Dunn (fourthaye@yahoo.com):

Oh yeah, time for some sticky-floored-rock-club lovin' -- the Rhodes' both got brought out
this evening - one of only two shows where both made it out of the trailor. The Haas solo
set was great, liked the Spark for the opener, kind of set the mood. The Monks Mood is a
lot of fun to hear evolve and morph stylings from one night to another, haas and
southerland have wonderful interaction.

Improvisation was in the forefront on this night, and definatlly were the highlights of my
evening. Fraticelli broke out the pedals for his upright for the first time on the tour,
opening up brian to lay down the bass lines on the bass rhodes while frat worked in the
upper octives etc. I must admit it was a bit strange seeing octive modifying being used,
with Haas and Smart present, and it not being Reed...but, Frat no doubt has his own voice
on the instrument and uses the effects in his own way. Rhythm-a-ning was probably the
highlight for me as far as the standards go...though broadway blues i always love as well...
but yeah, Haas just tore this tune up on this tour. Like I said though, the improv was the
real star of the evening, expecially with the elecric edge not present the previous two
nights. The more I see Jah the more I watch him...the man is a machine...seriously, hes a
jazz-bot drummer-bot, its friggin uncanny the stuff he lays down...wherever hes playing,
whoever with, be sure to check this drumming genious out, he gets better everytime I see him.
All in all, this was a great evening of music, and as I diggested the last of Tommys and
Elvis Costello popped on the jukebox, I looked forward to Cinci....
