bad day...good night

so the day started on a really bad note...my work computer had experienced its first fake death *quoted from the DELL's service centre, and of course they would not be able to solve the problem*. I was stuck to work on my colleague's desk (who is on leave this week)....and his desk is surely one hell of a desk...it took me a while to be able to find a spot for the mouse to be placed on...

so as my hectic day continues....i have received a good surprise; i got a free tix to watch a jazz show this evening...*yes i should had stayed at work but jazz sounded exactly the therapy i needed after a long busy day with my computer's fake death* ... just to put you in context, jazz for me = miles davies, dave burbeck, art tatum...you know what i mean...

it was not until i have received my tix at the venue then i realized that i was attending a fusion jazz concert. To be frank, i did not have good experience listening to this stylo ... i was always intimitated by this genre. However, i must say that i have enjoyed the 2.5 hours concert (there were some parts that i was just confused ... and i did not really enjoy the saxaphone because i was never a big fan of that instrument). I was especially happy when i heard the double bass solo because it is one of my fav. instruments of all times.

I am not sure that I would actually go buy a cd of the artists but I think that it is definitely an educated and fun experience to watch the live sets. I am really content that I have experienced something fresh this evening.

oh, btw, the concert that i have attended this evening - chick corea and john mclaughlin - five peace band
