We traveled to the US Counselate in Jeddah this evening for a concert by vocalist CoCo York and jazz pianist Mike Del Ferro. Wow!
They were amazing. Smooth American jazz to be sure. They performed a rather short set, but it was an amazing set none the less.
Del Ferro used every key on the old piano provided by the counselate and CoCo displayed a vocal range nothing short of amazing... from a deep bass that could vibrate your soul, to highs that reached the heights of heaven, where her voice must surely have come from. What a night. The only down side was the counselate provided a cheezy old upright piano and an even cheezier sound system, but in spite of that, these two performers made it sound like a million bucks.
Thanks once again to my coworker Steve for the invite and for navigating Jeddah traffic there and back... A concert that Leslie and I will remember for some time to be sure.
Go figure, we had to move to Jeddah and travel 6000 miles to attend an American Jazz concert...
