Uri Caine meets Mahler

Went to this concert today. Actually I have been a frequent visitor of the Symphony Hall and Town Hall this year! A few weeks ago Australian Rock Show with J, C, A.

Todays concert was jazz based on Mahler's music. Mahler is good, jazz is good, two together is brilliant! There were a pianist (Uri Caine, the leader), violin, clarinet, trumpet, percussion, contrabase and a DJ. Of course I enhoyed the trumpet, I actually sometimes find myself browsing through the concert listings to see any trumpety concert! The percussion was unbelievable! And DJ played cat sound and baby crying. It actually blended in well with the music. One time the cry was playing with the violin and it was interesting, in a good way, not the English way of saying I did not like it. I liked! Of course Uri Caine was brilliant, at one time competing with the percussion, really amazing! In the second half, there was a man on the stage. He was looking at the violinist and the audience. Quite odd. I was wondering why is he there. He had a microphone, but very high. And then he sang.

I also met two Estonians. When going to the Town Hall, somebody said "Tere". I said "Hello", so surprised! Then I realised who it was.

Came home, made  a cake and decorated another for C's birhtday. And finished the cake E and N made yesterday. I got home after skating and they decided we need to test it and can make a new one today!
