Part 2 of: A Majestic Music Tale

Some 5 hours after 'Travelling the Blues Highway' with John Howell, we were back at the Majestic Cafe in Conway for the Friday Night Jazz.

The music was a tribute to American jazz legend, pianist and innovator Bud Powell, who I'd never heard of. The piano quartet playing were lead by Jed Wilson on piano with Mike Sakash (sax), Scott Kiefner (double bass) and the impressively cool Tim Gilmore on drums. 

We enjoyed many of the improvised pieces they played but the name of this tune really stuck with me. Titled 'In the Mood for a Classic' - and why not !

Sitting on other tables were some of the lady volunteers from earlier in the day, who'd said we shouldn't miss this evening, and we got to meet Joe the manager who ran the bar with a smile and had a good selection of local draft beers to tempt me. 

As we were leaving one of the ladies pulled up in her car and offered us a lift back to our Airbnb, saving us the 20 minute walk in the dark. Nice !

- 24 hours later we'd be back again for the Folk music. And another classic evening...
