New York. To save time I’ll just say that this was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Luckily I had Ana to act as my tour guide, and thank God because otherwise it’d have been a very confusing trip. Also we were lucky enough to stay at the apartment of my great pals Alex D and Emily F. The last time I’ve felt this drawn to a city was when I was 17 in Charleston.
This trip was formed around the idea of seeing Dave Brubeck, one of my favorite musicians of all time, play at the blue note. It then turned into a dream trip once we discovered that Ben Allison, also one of my favorite musicians, was also playing the same weekend. Apart from the incredible jazz we also got to hang out with the Crouch Clan, eat incredible food, and, in my case, discover an incredible incredible city.
I wish I could spell out just how perfect this trip was from start to finish but I really don’t think I’d do it any justice. I hope these pictures give you a small sense of how amazing this trip was.
