Seriously?

Other than "Don't Explain" and the third song "Fodder on her Wings"(which was in 3/4 time, by the way) they weren't playing jazz tunes. They tackled a song by The Band, Rufus and Bill Withers- not usually thought of as jazzers. I would have been rather bored by 2 minute bass solos especially in a 30 minute set. I thought they were great and Lisa, as always, was glowing. I met Tomo and the bass player, Dave, afterwards and they were so friendly. My only quibble is that I couldn't hear the background singer very well. Sure hope they do some shows and recording of their own. I bet they can get an album out before Damo......
