In response to an invitation, I appeared at Blue Note as an audience for Linda's recital, part of the jazz pianist Uno's student workshop. There were around 30 individuals and groups performing at the workshop. I arrived at about 8pm, seeing a familiar face smiling and waving at me before I needed to look around the place. Linda managed to convince Jin-Lin, an ex-boss of ours, to play the saxophone with her on the stage. They played a lovely song called Namely You.According to Linda, practicing jazz piano alone sometimes becomes a little boring. That's why her teacher holds this kind of student workshop so that they can play piano in an ensemble setting. Other than that, forming a band is another way to make the practice more engaging.
I managed to pull out some related entires from Linda's blog, listed in chronological order.
Last but not least, the performance itself:

Somehow knew you would do this, thanks for finding the event worth recording. Jazz solo is such a journey full of mystery, am searching for the key to master more fluent melodies, hope to show you a much better performance next time!
I really enjoy the performance, although I have to confess that I was concentrating more on recording the video than on your live performance. The video can hardly be a replacement, but at least it helps me capture what I might have missed.
