Our First Concert

So today we have our first encounter with Cyprus...and IT WAS HOT..but beautiful. The people are great. They want to learn and they want to share. We were at Highgate school yesterday morning and OH what a great experience. It was their last day of class and boy were they ready to GET OUT OF THERE....i think the highlight for them was when I brought some of the students on stage to sing with us. From there we did an interview with the news station and had jam session/collab with some local jazz musicians. We went in with open minds and we really had a great time. We started off just grooving and making music amongst us and then we got down to rehearsing. They performed with us last night at the American Embassy in Cyprus. The Ambassador I must say is a cool guy. The guest and dignitaries were very pleased and could not stop complimenting us. They were singing and dancing and didnt want to leave. AND the food was great!...such a wonderful day and wonderful experience had...thank you Jazz at Lincoln and US States Dept for Rhythm Road!
