Duende’s show at the Ship

Was a good one, if I do say so myself. We dug out some obscure pieces — “Julie,” “Celia,” the closing section of the “Jim’s Fall” suite — and stayed away from “Americanized” with the exceptions of “Classic Rock” and “Where Do You Live?”

We also took a risk and Faro improvised along to “The Last Word” (better known as “Let’s Fuck”). This was HOT. He was in particularly fine form tonight, ripping up a blistering version of “Coda” — the last section of “Jim’s Fall.” But the bass line he laid down for “Last Word” was smoking, yea verily. I think we acquitted ourselves well enough on the piece that it may become part of the permanent repertoire.

Thanks to all who came out; I hope we did you proud.
