Quick Plug: I don't think I've ever mentioned it on the blog, but I am available for hire to shoot your show, promo shoot, or other non-wedding event. I charge less than you might think. If you do want to book me, it's a good idea to give me at least a couple weeks notice so that I don't schedule another show. A couple hours notice is no good 90% of the time.

I get asked to shoot weddings occasionally, but I refer them to my favorite weddding photographer friends. They hire me as a second shooter, so I'm still there to share in your magical day. Anyway, back to music.

I haven't shot at the Tango Del Rey in a long time. One of my last shows here was a year ago, when I shot most of these same players. This time, it was all arranged and directed by the young bass player, Andrew Michel.

This room looks much different during a 4pm downbeat.  The curtain was pulled back to reveal a tile pattern of dancers. Hooray for bright and busy backgrounds! My favorite!



I do love a challenge, though.



Andrew plays with a deep yet defined bass tone which really resonates with me.



And it's always a treat to hear Kamau Kenyatta and Derek Cannon. They're music professors who play because they love it, not because they need it.
