‘Round the island…

Enso had their album release concert last Saturday at Pazzo Vivo - I got to hear all three sets of jazz and post-rock...wow! Grisha Krivchenia (piano), Colin Megill (drums) and Chris Small (bass guitar) put on a show that sold CDs, kept the crowd listening, and left us all wanting more.

Let’s see what’s the haps:

Yesterday, there were reports that the gray whale seemed to be OK….
