The purpose of the trip . . .

We got to go back because I was invited to perform at the Okayama Jazz Festival in Okayama, more or less near where we used to live. I was the main performer so they treated me like a star . . . interviews, lots of pictures, they filmed the festival and I hope to get my hands on a dvd of the whole show in the next few months when it comes out.
Saturday night I performed with Alicia Saldenha in Osaka, very talented up and coming vocalist from Trinidad.
The place was packed, people standing behind and to the sides of the seated audience . . .

I feel very lucky to have performed with such high-caliber players . . . and especially lucky to have had Nicolle there with me. She sold $100 worth of cds while I was performing, so as soon as I was finished she ran up and got me to sign them all . . . there was a line of people waiting for me to autograph their cds and take a picture with them!

Rob's band again at La Parrilla Latina in SLC

Hey everybody,

My band's playing again at La Parrilla. It's a nice opportunity to see my band play, we're going to Japan this fall and San Diego this summer. There's no cover charge so come, buy dinner, and enjoy!

If anybody has any requests of songs theyd like us to play then tell me beforehand and we'll do it!

La Parrilla Latina is located at 4115 south Redwood road, on the north-east end of the block.
