Gilbert Castellanos Quintet at El Camino, 3/3/10

Gilbert Castellanos has a new spot for his weekly jam session, the El Camino Restaurant, just a block away from the Casbah.

They keep it pretty dim here, so I used my prime lenses, sacrificing versatility for light gathering ability. The small, roving spotlight helped immensely.

This was my first time seeing Brett Sanders on drums.

El Camino is the prefect place for this. the (kinda pricey) mexican food and drinks go well with the Latin Jazz. The place was packed full of music fans. I thought it was funny that each seat at the bar has a tiny TV screen playing lucha libre movies, and fat pig lamps on the ceiling.

I'll be sure to come again soon, but I'll leave the camera at home. You'll just have to see and hear it for yourself.
