Came to see Mr. Blade without knowing the other musicians. Level of musicianship was high and the compositions super beautiful. I got introduced to the music of two other musicians that after checking their albums out, i could not believe the stuff they have been recording. Thank you for an awesome evening of music.

About Brian Blade
Brian Blade (born 1970 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is an American jazz drummer and composer.
