I made it home safely last night after a 16 hour drive...lol now about Saturday night, there was no recording aloud so I got no video of the concert but Andrea was able to record the entire event so we may see some of the songs Emily played, give it some time for it to be edited and sent to Andrea.
The concert began on time at 8:00 with Emily coming out alone and playing her intro which she has played at a few of the concerts in the past, I'll post the intro from El Paso in the members only section it is unlisted because Andrea hasn't approved the video, but it will give you the idea of the way Emily has been beginning her concerts. After the intro was over she was joined by Peter Slavov and Mark McLean and they continued to play many of the songs from the Diversity CD Start with Jazz Angles and Blue Note ending the first half with the song "Favorite Things" a song they put together that afternoon and improvised by the entire trio. It is always fun to hear Emily play something you haven't heard her play before. The second half they played some jazz favorites including A Train and Girl from Ipanema (no singing tonight) she also played Indigo and Araignee and Q. She then again started taking story suggesting from the audience with her putting the suggestions to music and of course she ended the evening with Bumble Boogie.
After the concert Emily always takes the time to meet and greet the people who want something signed or a picture taken or to just say hi, this is something she has done for as long as I can remember and I do hope it is something that will continue throughout her life.

Practicing on the piano that inspired "Piano In the Sky" (composed 2007 - The Love In Us CD) A few years ago Andrea introduced me to the young lady who owns this piano, she told me that neither of them in the household play the piano and it mainly gets used when Emily comes to visit

How can you afford to travel all over for these concerts? I'm so jealous! Speaking of traveling, do you plan to go to Emily's Gershwin concert in CT? I'm retired now and what good is retirement if you don't do a little traveling. I've saved a little money over the 45 years of working and now I travel to see things I enjoy seeing but if you would have told me 25 years ago that I'm saving this money to see a 12 year old play the piano I would have told you that your crazy. Yes, the plan is right now is to go to Connecticut and see Emily play Rhapsody, she is playing 3 concerts out there in 4 days 2 in Connecticut and 1 near Boston plus there is alternative motive in this, These are 2 states I've never been in, I'd like to say I've been in all 50 states and this will bring the total to 40, 41 if I go into Rhode Island. I also plan on going to Winnipeg in November, that will send me into another state I've never been in, North Dakota also I really want to go to Santa Fe in December, Emily is premiering Northern Lights with the orchestra. I did ask Andrea and she said that they will be recording that concert again like they did the last time .

Hey Don, did Emily ever come up with a name for that piece that she called "The Pretty Song"? Not yet, still calling it the pretty song

Just a bit of news from last night, there is a new CD in the planning stages but you have to remember it took Diversity 2 years to get to market, Emily wouldn't say what the photo shoot was for, Emily is working on Araignee ,the video rescore, and will upload it to youtube when it is finished, we were right about Mea Sculpta the music was to close to the weight watchers commercial so it was put to private, Emily lost the game of chess she was playing in the park, Emily and her sister Lauren went swimming in Lake Minnetonka Sunday morning, we had a really bad winter here and I know the water was really cold but Emily said it was just fine, once they got used to it
