Jazz with a cello!

Yesterday I went to a cool concert in one of the most inspiring places of the lagoon, San Servolo…really it is…it is an island just south west from San Marco Square; you can reach it only through a boat, fortunately there is some public transportation lines…once it was the place for the mentally disordered people….nowadays it is the centre of the Venetian International University…so it makes sense…there are some normal people in both contexts…
The island is become a center for art exhibitions, workshops and university lessons…it is wholly renovated and it is so peaceful and relaxing…even the smells of the salty lagoon is so strong and particular over there and the mosquitos are undoubtly bigger and more aggressive…I discovered the island this summer and I said to myself that I had been an asshole in all these past years…how could I not know such a place?!
The band was a jazz American trio from N.Y. They are called the Broken Arm Trio, whose leader is this awesome cello – yeah cello! – player, Erik Friedlander…he plays without stick, only with fingers…the sound is so specific and it was a total discover for me: it sounds like a fretless bass but sometimes it seems to be a sort of Indian instrument…they played only his own composition…I would advice anybody who likes jazz to get some stuff from this people on the net…here is the link http://www.erikfriedlander.com/index.shtm check it out!!!
The fall is coming slowly so no need to heavy clothes yet
