The EarRegulars, plus catsup. Photograph by Neal Siegal.
Here is the link to Parts One and Two, containing ten radiant performances from that very gratifying evening at 326 Spring Street, Soho, New York City.
And here are a few of the closing performances.
BEALE STREET BLUES:
IF YOU WERE THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD (Mr. Nalepka sings of romance):
‘WAY DOWN YONDER IN NEW ORLEANS, with guest Jon De Lucia, clarinet:
THE CURSE OF AN ACHING HEART, with Jordan Hirsch, trumpet, and added soundtrack from the Wolf Cubs to my right, or, as Louis says, “Somebody must have been putting alcohol in our liquor”:
A wonderful evening, hugely restorative. You’ve never been to The Ear Inn? Get thee hence on a Sunday evening — early to grab a barstool or table — and live life fully.
May your happiness increase!
