Santa Barbara in Pictures
The soundcheck for the San Diego show is going on. I can see the quintet outside of my hotel window rehearsing on stage. Last night was unbelievable. People use the word “unbelievable” quite a lot. But imagine it wasn’t overused and you weren’t jaded by it. It was unbelievable…
I didn’t have internet access yesterday. Sorry for the delay.

Drummer Ali crosses the street back (notice his good form of checking for cars) to the hotel after playing a game of football. The teams were: Wynton, Dennis Jeeter (head of sales), Ali (drums), Etienne, Kevin Lee (magician) vs. Carlos (bass), Simeon Marsalis (Wyn’s son), Ryan (Simeon’s friend), Joe, Kabir Sehgal.
We won 36 to 30.
