Derrick Hodge and The Color of Noize band performed their own beautiful world with their unique way which has some marriage of classical strings part unison and the funky grooves of the rhythm section which expressed the sound I have never heard.Especially,the last two songs were so exciting..!!Madison Guidry the drummer was so hot and killing me with some superb tequniques.What a solo performance!And the guitarist Simon Martinez was also terrific,the trio sound of these two guys and Derrick sounded crossover which easily transcended jazz,fusion,rock and other genres.Was so excited.I felt like I’d really like to join them right now..!!!Again and again through the concert.lol
Then to go Smalls jazz club again with Yukiyo-san!
The beautiful and funky sax lady Nicolette Mancini was amazing!!We could talk to her and the cool bassist after the set.What a night…again
