Toshiko Akiyoshi\u00a0\u00a0 – \u00a0 Church of Our Lady Restoration\u00a0\u00a0 – \u00a0 September 26, 2010<\/p>\n
Tucked away near the Cold Spring MetroNorth train station, with a great view of the Hudson, is the spectacular yet intimate Church of Our Lady Restoration, which has been running music series for several years now (I actually played a gig there a while back).\u00a0 Capacity doesn’t seem like it would be more than about 80 seats.\u00a0 Not getting there that early, we ducked upstairs to what I guess is the choir loft\/organ location.\u00a0 I came prepared for watercolor work, which I only do for certain locations where it seems I will have elbow room, and it worked out.\u00a0 This was a solo gig by Toshiko Akiyoshi, and as masters will do, she improvised her way away from the printed program here and there, so we just follow along in awe.\u00a0 Autograph is most inscrutable.<\/p>\n
