Panamerican tango

Back at Bluesfest, I'm still biding my time waiting for Bettye Lavette. Federico Aubele sounded like an intriguing prospect, with his writeup suggesting a wide range of influences: Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith, Vinicius, Tom Jobim and his countryman Astor Piazzolla, as well as electronic artists Thievery Corporation. I thought his performance was long on the dreamy pop sound.



He probably should have had a shared billing with Natalia Clavier, he dueted with him and performed a couple of her own songs.



Rhythm section action! With Ashish Vyas and Jerry Busher!



Jerry! Who I last saw playing with French Toast at Zaphod's in March 2006.



A whole lotta singing.



And so on!





Melodica action!



Dig those shoes.



Quite pleasant, really.
