I have to say that this was a pretty good show. I didn't trip over my tongue too badly and lots of great tunes were played. Two particular favourites of mine were "Follow your heart" by the Joe Farrell Quartet and Duke Pearson's "Xibaba". I also managed to play sets of four or more this week (and last, actually); one set stretched to six (short) tunes, something that is hard to do with jazz tracks (many shows, I play six things - or less - in an hour, never mind in one set).
