TED NASH

I'm here in London with the JLCO. They sure have us working - but it's good stuff. Sat in with the Guy Barker band at a swing dance, along with my bandmates Wynton Marsalis, Victor Goines, Marcus Printup, and other guests like Wycliffe Gordon and Terrell Stafford. On the 18th we played a concert at the Barbican of music from the 20s and 30s. The band actually was killing on this music - felt alive and fresh! Last night we played another concert at the Barbican, featuring a lot of great guest artists, like Peter King, Soweto Kinch, Andy Panayi, and a great latin rhythm section that was smoking! Yesterday, Vince Gardner and I did a worship with a local college band, that sounded great. Vincent and I were particularly knocked out by the maturity of the rhythm section.
This week is the first of a ten-year residency with the Barbican, so we'll be coming back many times...!
