> Hey Y'All,

> I was jonesin' for some live music and the Blue Room in Peachtree Battle was the answer. I traded a couple of emails with Ike. He was cool with me recording his impromtou get together. I went over to David's house and dragged him away from the tv. We got down to the Blue Room at about 9:30. Ike was at the front door and greeted us. He informed me that none other than Yonrico Scott would be playing in his 3 piece band tonight. Always good to see Rico. I last saw him at the Odeon on 1/19/2006 with the Derek Trucks Band. I set up about 12 feet from stage at the first table. There were only a handful of folks inside. The place is very nice. Lots of small tables in the middle and lots of posh couches along the entire side. I could see napping on one of them as they were ssooooo comfortable! David Neel, the proprieter, did a great job with this club, my hats off to him. Bring some more great jazz in and hopefully the Atlanta community will support his efforts.

> As Ike started playing, I began to record. After 27 minutes, they stopped. I just recorded the rehearsal. We chatted with Rico and Ike for about 15 minutes, and then they took the stage for the 1st set. They had a bass player that in my opinion was superb. His name is Francisco Fattoruso, and he just moved to town. He was all over that bass like a lead guitar. Lots of range playing that six string! Ike was jammin' away on that B-3 of his. I noticed there were 2 Leslies on stage. He displays lots of texture with the deep rich sound he pushes out. And Rico, well we all know that he puts everything he has into every performance. They closed out the set with a smokin' Freedom Jazz Dance. The set lasted just about 50 minutes.

> We sat on the couch and talked with Rico for the entire break. Lots of good stories and idle music talk. He had a four night rum in DC, and had to catch a flight the next morning. With only a handful of folks there, they decided to play an abreviated set of about 20 minutes. When you enjoy what you hear as much as I did, and ask the guys how many times they have played together and find out never, you know the musicianship is dead on! If they get together again, check them out! It was a shame that there weren't more folks there to enjoy the show. Next time.

> This weekend marks the grand opening of the Blue Room, featuring Bernard Purdie. Come on down and support Ike and the rest of the jazz musicians! It is in the Peachtree Battle shopping center near the Publix.
