Looking forward to the ultimate jet lag cure, this evening: hitting with the Birdland Big Band, at the club, from 5:15-7pm. Come and roar into the weekend with us. It’ll be festive!!
Today’s gig – December 5,2015: Otto Sauter’s Ten of the Best #trumpets
On the bus, this morning, heading to a day of masterclasses and an afternoon concert with Otto Sauter & Ten of the Best. We’ll be performing at 2pm at Seto-shi Bunka Center. Definitely the place for any nearby trumpet fans!!
I’m looking forward to our first concert of the Japanese leg of the tour, with Otto Sauter & Ten of the Best. We perform at 7pm, this evening, at Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara. I’m thoroughly enjoying my first visit to Japan – looking forward to playing to a good crowd tonight!
This evening, we head back up the mountain to the Wartburg Castle for the last show of the European leg of the Ten of the Best tour. We’ll be performing “Swinging Christmas Melodies” at 7:30pm. Last night was great fun, so I hope you have a chance to make it.
Tomorrow, we jet off to Japan, ahead of our next show, in Sapporo, on Wednesday. I’m very much looking forward to it – I’ve never been to Japan before, and it’s always fun to explore a new country!
After an enjoyable first concert of the tour in Leipzig, yesterday evening, we roll on to Eisenach, Germany to the famed castle ‘Auf der Wartburg’. Eisenach is a town steeped in musical history. It was the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach and, later, Franz Liszt was the musician at court at the Wartburg; in fact, our concert is in the hall they built for him! We’ll be performing “Swinging Christmas Melodies” this evening, and tomorrow, at 7:30pm.
