Blue Notes

Posted by
Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 8 February 2011 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

The singer is the youngest member of the band, but she's also the heart. She makes sure they take time to have fun besides just rehearsing all the time. To give you an idea of the kind of music they play, they performed an excellent cover of this Jeff Beck song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YaY-Jg0FCk&feature=related.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

Beautiful shot. Like the expression on her face and the body language of hands.

NaDu from Köln, Germany

As well as the others in this series, so copy & paste my already done comments. The band is very courageous since they risk to be compared with Jeff Beck when playing a song of him. Jeff Beck is still amazing nowadays and often I hear his gig at the Ronnie Scott Club at YouTube.

Oh, man why do you do that to me?!? I have to wait until tonight to listen thanks to the corporate gestapo here at work...eyes and ears of the naysayers....!
This is a very descriptive and emotional view here. I do love the blue light and being a total Jazz and Blues fan, your title "Blue Notes" always take me back to that wonderful record label "Blue Note" that is responsible for so much history and beauty in the world of Jazz, Blues, and music in general....and then, of course, there is the very famous "Blue Note" Jazz club in NYC..... now appearing is Mos Def and then coming in on Thursday is Gato Barbieri, followed by the one and only McCoy Tyner next week...OMG..this image brings all of those emotions and thoughts to my head and even though my ears now prevent me from doing any "live clubbin'" I still have my head phones, head trips, and head jams that I can use...Wonderful Bettina!!
