swing kings


Been quite a while I haven't really listen to a solo violin, that night I experienced a very brilliant one from a virtuoso named Miroslav. It could go so intense it felt like someone grabs your arms so tight leaving bruises on your skin, it could go so soft it felt so good almost like someone touches you and whispers to your ear.

Two days before Sigur Rós I went to this MPO Jam-Busters casual formal (which means you have to follow a dress code) concert. I was expecting a rather casual classical performance, it turned out to be a casual but brilliant swing-jazz one, playing tunes like Django Reinhart's, Duke Ellington's, Cab Calloway's , a number from a Slovakian composer and some originals. The venue was amazing, I only realized when I went out after the show that it's actually at the feet of the twin tower. It was one of the shows which I wished was never going to end, I wanted to just stay there absorbed by the music and vaporized, never go back again to all the shits life gives.

ps. Photo taking is totally prohibited but it pretty much looks like this - a photo from last year's event from the internet.
