Freddie Redd in D.C.!

I'll be there both nights.

Thought about hitting this at the last minute but was having an extended happy hour with the neighbors. How was it? decent crowd?

[bertrand]

The crowd was quite good in the first set; not SRO or anything, but far from empty.

Beautiful music - a killer second set, with Sarah Hughes on alto joining tenor Brad Linde on four tunes in a row from Shades Of Redd: Ole, Shadows, Melanie and Thespian. Two Freddie originals in the first set: Nica Steps Out and O.D.

Highly recommended if anyone can make it out.

Bertrand.

I caught his show at Dizzy's in NY. It was real nice. The first 10 minutes he was interviewed by WBGO.
