Sandy and I started off the week on Monday with Chick Corea, backed by Stanley Clarke (bs) and Lenny White (dr). Great set, featuring "Stella by Starlight", "Senor Mouse", "No Mystery", and a cool arrangement of the famous Rodrigo adagio.
Thursday night, we saw the Tierney Sutton Band in fine form. They did "Devil May Care", "It's Only a Paper Moon", "Cry Me a River", among others. Tierney's voice, style and delivery are just awesome, and the whole band rocks.
We also saw Gretchen Parlato, who did some very cool numbers, including Herbie Hancock's "Butterfly", "I Can't Help It", and some interesting originals. Again, a great band with some very thoughtful arrangements.
Finally, we enjoyed a set by Sachal Vasandani, who also did a mix of standards ("A Small Hotel", "All The Way") and originals ("Royal Eyes"). A young man worth watching; he will go places.
We also ate a lot of good food and drank some fairly strong martinis. Each night we also ran into some friends we hadn't seen for a while, so that made it all just about perfect.
