At about 5:30am today, Ivi appeared on the doorstep, snow-covered, having just pulled into town after a couple of days in Moscow, Idaho at the annual Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. She and her fellow jazz ensemble members attended workshops and performed in student events. (Ivi tells us that a camera sending live audience projections to the large screens during the big band performance zeroed in for at least thirty seconds on her and Jordan as they danced in the pit) The visiting artist who most blew her away was the "crazy-good" Victor Wooten. Here is a sample from about a year ago:
And from Wooten's own site, a notice of his forthcoming March 8 Virtual Release party for an anniversary of his Show of Hands album:
I see that Wooten will be continuing to tour with Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, possibly to a venue near you.
