Just back in Glasgow after the briefest imaginable trip to Oakland to see Herb & Lani at Yoshi's, where they were playing three nights (Sat/Sun/Mon). Sold-Out on Saturday night (I think it's a 300 seater) and a really good show. Opened with "Bittersweet Samba" (which I hadn't expected) and the setlist included the usual TJB medley, a spot for Lani to do a Brasil '66 medley, some tracks from the new album and some new arrangements. I interviewed Herb before the show (two interviews - one for BBC Radio Scotland's "The Jazz House" and one for radio Six International's "Lively Lounge". The former will air fairly soon, the latter on Christmas Day. I'll post links so you can hear them - I made the interviews complementary so no duplication of questions. Herb was in especially bright form, and Lani's voice is in a good place right now. Lovely to see them both again. Herb tells me he's doing a show soon in Spokane with a 71-piece orchestra!!
