An Eclectic Night with Francisco Ruiz

Francisco Ruiz- Quito Ecuador. http://www.facebook.com/Franciscoruizmusic

I may sound biased because he is my friend, but I think the audience will agree, it was one of the  most beautifully crafted shows I've seen so far at Berklee.

Starting off with a solo piece Blackbird as sung by Bobby McFerrin, he invited our a capella group "the Singing Tribe" on stage and then came our spontaneous composition pieces. The first, which I was honoured to be a part of with Andrea Charls and Tracy Robertson, the 2nd with Laura LeBlanc and 3rd witih Emily Miller. The joined Eduardo Mercuri for a few Brazillian accoustic numbers, and finally the band. Paul Sanchez, Dwight Rivera, Santiago, Herrera, Fabio Rojas, Francisco Vielma and Tareq Rantisi.

Jazz Urbane at Scullers

Having watched a super fun outdoor set at the Jazz Festival with dancing and high energy, I was excited to see this amazing band in a totally different light (or dark rather.)

Inside the Scullers Jazz Club, they were in their dark mode but still full of light to throw on to us the audience. A Beautiful set they performed leaving the many students in the audience inspired, the non-students in awe.

The amazing performers

An amazing concert leaving us in tears and speechless.
