I saw Will Bernard and his band last night at the State Theatre. Will is a jazz guitarist who plays in a lot of the same circles I listen to. His name isn’t so well known; well at least I didn't know about him. He happened to have John Medeski (from MMW) and Stanton Moore (from Galactic) playing in his quartet which is why I showed up. They played pretty well. I think they said it was their sixth gig together. Will was good but John and Stanton were the highlights of the show. Stanton had a couple solos on the drums and John took control on the keys on a few occasions including a nice improv at the end.
I walked out of the show at 1am. The metro stopped running at midnight being a week day. Luckily I had my bike. There were a few drops of rain in the air but I had a few drinks in me and all was good. It took me a few minutes to find the Curtis Trail. Flying down the empty trail in the middle of the night was efficient and safe without pedestrians, dogs, and strollers. I think I made it home in record time last night.
