| - | {{tag> | + | For the rest of the opening hour, Bruce toured us through an abbreviated version of his soon-to-be released album, _Solo_ (add link to wikipedia? |
| + | |||
| + | Following bows from Bruce and Sonny at the conclusion of their set, the house lights stayed low, and Pat strolled on almost immediately thereafter to take a seat at center stage with his Pikasso guitar for a solo opener. Cool! | ||
| + | |||
| + | I titled that _Into the Dream_, after the piece from his 19xx release, _?Are You Going With Me?_, though it very well might be the case that Pat was simply improvising or playing another tune altogether. Kinda hard to tell when you got 42 strings to try and listen to! | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the second tune, ?_Come and See_? , Pat was joined one-by-one by the members of the Unity Band: first Chris Potter, then Antonio Sanchez, and finally Ben Williams. This launched a mini set about 30 min long featuring an uninterrupted suite of tunes both new and old. Good stuff! | ||
| + | |||
| + | At the conclusion of this opening sequence, Pat stopped to talk to the crowd, introduce the quartet, bring on Giulio, and mention that next suite is composed of tunes exclusively from the latest recording, _Kin_. | ||

| + | There was a definite pause to indicate the end of the suite, and the band then left the stage, almost like an encore break. After a few seconds, Pat returned with Bruce Hornsby to perform a duet (_the Moon Is a Harsh Mistress_), then Bruce left, replaced by ?Antonio? for a second duet, ?_(Go) Get It_?. I believe that Pat continued the duet theme by following up with works featuring Chris and Ben, but my recollection is fuzzy on this detail, and it's possible that the others were featured in extended solos rather than strict duets. | ||
