## Notes

Another fun show! They seemed happy to be in SF and glad to be playing at the new SFJAZZ Center -- Dorado in particular seemed to be a bit giddy ("That's jet lag, folks!" commented Brian), and he really perked up when John came out, hamming and clowning around with his pal. John only sang on a single tune, but he doubled on guitar AND clarinet on most of the others that he played on (? all but _Nuage_?), switching back and forth as he saw fit. All in all, it was quite good!

SFJAZZ has posted a short interview with Ludovic on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvMSW-nsh_Q)
