## Notes

Originally billed as including Patti Austin and Terence Blanchard ... instead we get Raul Midón and Nicholas Payton. Interesting swap!

Nicholas Payton's tune _Six_ was my favorite for the night.  With a soft Grove and a recognizable repeating riff, it was a great way to start off the night.

The following track, Gerald Clayton's _Envisioning_, was cool and spacy -- a nice contrast to the busy beat established by _Six_. 

The test of the show was fun enough, I'll refrain from continuing my tune by tune commentary. I enjoyed the show quite a bit, and I hope the rest of the crowd did too, as they seemed a bit reserved to me... Not willing to put their hands together to acknowledge the virtuosity on display tonight. Guess that's just what you get for Sunday night turnout in Berkeley!
