Well, I just wanted to share this great experience with all of you. This past weekend , a worlwide known salsa band came to Toronto . Son de Cali straight from Colombia, and a week and half ago they called me up to offer me the gig. their bass player and a trombon player coulnd't make the commitment. so they called ME!!
they sent the music charts to get ready, cause there was going to be no rehearsal..
so I worked my ass off to be as ready as If an athlete would be ready for the Olympics..
to make the story as short as possible. WE rocked the house! there were over 3,000 people at one of the most pretigiuos clubs in Toronto.
I felt like if I was playing in automatic mode, everything clicked, there was "swing" all over it. with the help of the Musical Director, I was able to get the "new shots" that were not on the charts, so , I had to learn them fairly quick, if you know what I mean.
I played an Azola ampeg baby bass and the Yamaha TRBJP2 in amber. both of these instruments were the stars, they sounded amazing.
anyhow, I have sold and bought a few basses and stuff in this beautiful website, so I just wanted to share one of my greatest experiences.
The band members were really happy with my job, and I fell so honoured to play with this guys.
here are a couple of pics and short video
I can't get enough of it.....
