Miguel Zenón Golden City Band

• Matt Brewer: contrabass;
• Daniel Diaz: percussion;
• Alan Ferber: trombone;
• Jacob Garchik: trombone, euphonium;
• Matt Mitchell: piano;
• Miles Okazaki: guitar;
• Diego Urcola: trumpet, valve trombone;
• Dan Weiss: drums;
• Miguel Zenón: alto saxophone, percussion.
• David Murakami: projection design;
• Brian Staufenbiel: theatrical director.

Arrived relatively early (West Oakland BART making a big help there!), then spent a few minutes straightening things out with box office problems: easy to do when there's no rush!

I'm looking forward to tonight's set, but it seems like another woefully undersold show. Shame!

I thought it was interesting that Miguel didn't address the crowd at all tonight – maybe he was wrapped up tight with the “get it done” mission?

I really enjoyed the suite. At least one of the tunes reminded me of Ives – hopefully I'll catch it during tomorrow's webcast so I can name it here.
