I had "a musical moment" this weekend that I just had to share with those of you out there who are as passionate about music as I am. First, let me set the scene ... My girlfriend and I went down to Miami Beach to Arturo Sandoval's Jazz Club. O.K., that right there was something not to be missed. This room has been beautifully renovated into an intimate supper club, and the history makes it that much more appealing. Apparently, back in the hey day of Miami Beach, every great from Streisand to Sinatra to the Beatles performed there. Soooo, we had ourselves a little cocktail, a few munchies, and settled in for The Four Freshmen (whom I adore) kick musical ass. As if that wasn't enough, Arturo himself jumped on stage to join them for a song! He explained to the the audience (after playing notes on the trumpet higher than I knew were possible) that as a kid in Cuba, one of the first jazz records he ever listened to was The Four Freshmen and Five Trombones album. He said it was very inspirational to him and fired his passion for jazz, which is why he was so happy to have the current Freshmen incarnation at his club carrying on the tradition. It was phenomenal. So if you're ever in the Miami area, support Arturo's club and his desire to bring great live music back to the area. AND if you ever have the opportunity to see The Four Freshmen, don't pass it up. You'll hear harmonies and musicianship that'll give you musical moments galore.
