4/14, Sunday, 2-4pm. O.K. went with me to Frye to attend another jazz concert.
This time, Duende Libre.
The trio features pianist Alex Chadsey, percussionist Jeff Busch, and electric bass guitarist Farko Dosumov.
Every piece today was composed by Alex (he talked a bit about each piece). Quite nice.
However, I'd prefer to hear at least one familiar tune.
The auditorium was about 60% full today.
During the intermission, we went through the new exhibitions.
Didn't like most of them (as usual) except for Semantha Wall's drawings.
This one is called "the space to grow".
Walking back to downtown is not good for my legs: so sore.
Before the concert, we checked out briefly the Japanese Festival in Seattle Center (Fri-Sun).
I liked the Ikebana display and a short demo of setting up 4 flower arrangements.
One booth shows paper-dolls in intricate detailed clothing. The paper she uses is very soft and clothe like.
I even sat down and folded some color paper.
There were some quite complicated examples of animals, people, made by folding paper.
The Judo (?) performance of mostly teeagers is fairly basic.
They kicked or broke a square wooden plank by hand.
There were a group doing drumming and dancing. Again, very simple.
