Tauranga Easter Jazz Festival
25/03/08 06:37 PM
Well the festival was great! Awesome crowd and a lot of
fun. Saturday afternoon with Grand Central was
incredible. Good energy and an enthusiastic audience.
We played as the Alan Brown Trio later that night which
also was amazing. The crowd was smaller but no less
enthusiastic! The band was amazing and the tunes took
on a life of their own.
I used a new Nord C1 combo organ kindly donated by Music Planet, in conjunction with my 145 Leslie. What a sound! I'm very impressed with the Nord - the sound is the closest I've heard, the two manuals 'feel' like a Hammond, and it's very light!!! I'm sure, once my budget allows, that I would purchase one of these (even the on-board leslie effect is good!).
