She rode in the back of the new (to us) Subaru I was driving out to pick up.
Smoke is a cool club and not to far from my in-law's apartment. It's a bit cramped in there but Smoke is an appropriate name. Birdland is more comfy and upscale but I didn't feel as connected with the music there as I did at Smoke. In either case I felt quite disconnected from a chunk of cash in my wallet when seeing the big names play. Like I said above, if I lived there I would never shell out that kinda dough except on the very rare occasion. It surely made me appreciate the Boulder jazz scene that much more.
I should say that I can totally see the appeal of these Kays... The Engleharts might be made from the same templates but they are FAR from the few Kays I've heard. This girl just sings and is quite easy to play (considering). My fingers are already instinctivly jumping to notes and, while I have much to improve, scales and arpeggios and such are falling under my fingers much faster than I thought they ever would. OTOH, stamina is non-existant but I know that will come with time as the muscles develop.
