続いてアンドーバーで結婚式のギグです。すいません、この時、実はすんごい風邪をひいてまして、他の写真を取るのを忘れました。このギグの前にみんなでイタリア料理のレストランに行き、めっさウマいラザニアを食べました。
We went to a nice Italian restaurant before the gig and we all had killing lasagna, then our day continued to another gig in Andover. I am sorry but I forgot to take any other photos because I got the bug which everybody had got and was so crooked.

International String Trio in Danvers, Massachusetts
インターナショナル・ストリング・トリオでマサチューセッツ州のダンバーズで結婚式のギグです。私立の小学校に併設された教会だったのですが、立派なチャペルでございました。
I had a wedding gig in Danvers, Massachusetts with International String Trio. The chapel is actually a part of a private prep school and it was a great chapel.

Video-shoot in Brooklyn
この日は朝からコーディーのバンドの『ボン・ミュズィーク』のビデオ撮りがありました。なかなか良く出来上がっております。あるブルックリンのパブで撮影したのですが、なんか古めかしさが大変素敵な所でした。まあ、下記のサイトからビデオを観てやってくんなまし。

I had a video-shoot with Cody's band "Bon Musique." The video came out pretty good! The video was shot at a pub in Brooklyn and the atmosphere of the place was the theme of 1920s or 1930s. I loved the place. Please check out the video on the site below.

Enrique Haneine Trio @ CSV Center
『メイキン・ミュージック・ニューヨーク』という、ニューヨーク中のいたる所で音楽を演奏するというかなり大きいイベントがこの日あったのですが、その一環として我々も参加させていただきました。
There was a quite big event called “Makin' Music NY” here in all five boroughs of the New York City and literally hundreds of bands playing live in everywhere. We participated in the event and played Avant-garde jazz at CSV center in SoHo.

Sending Yutaka off to Canada
またまた朝っぱらから叩き起こされて、ニューワーク空港までわざわざ友達のゆたかを送ってやる優しすぎる俺。ちなみにこれ朝の6時ぐらいで、家を5時過ぎに出ました。まったく、いい迷惑でした。
I was so kind to take one of my friends to Newark airport on 6am. I don't think there is anybody who is kinder than me in the world.

Sarina Suno Quartet @ The Groove
イースト・ヴィレッジの『グルーブ』でライブです。ファンク弾きまくりの日でございます。ほっほっほ。普通はファンクはエレキベースなんですが、アップライトベースで弾き倒すのも好きなんですよね。楽しいギグでした。この場のお客さんもステージのミュージシャンもノリまくってる空気から、たっぷりとエナジーをもらって帰って来ました。
Live at the Groove. This is a good day to play funk. Usually funk is played with an electric bass but I like to play it with upright bass as well. It was a fun gig. I was so energized by this atmosphere of people and musicians grooving in the same wavelength.

Freakin' Chinatown Bus
ボストンからニューヨークへ帰る途中に事件が起こりました。1時間ぐらいバスに揺られていると、バスの中がゴムの焼けた匂いで充満しました。ドライバーが高速の路肩に止めると、後輪が一つパンクしていて、しかも気がつかないでずっと走っていたようで、タイヤがボロボロになってました。そしてその場で立ち往生です。仕方がないので乗客は全員、次のバスを待っていました。1時間後に次のバスが到着しましたが、3席ほど足りません。私ともう一人の若者とバアちゃんです。さて、私とこの若者はまあ運がなかったという事でいいでしょう。我先にと乗り込んだ30人ほどの学生ども、誰かバアちゃんに席を譲れよ!
誰一人、バアちゃんに席を譲らず、我々はもう1時間待って次のバスに乗りました。まったく、なんちゅう日じゃ。
On the way back to New York on a Chinatown Bus, some devastating thing had happened. About one hour after the bus left Boston, the inside of the bus was filled with the smell of burning rubber. The driver pulled over to the side of highway and found out one of the rear wheel had got puncture and, because the driver did not notice for quite a while, the tire was totally in rags. We got stuck. Only thing we could do was to wait for the next bus passes which was coming in one hour. Oh well, out of luck on that night. We waited for one hour and the next bus came and all the young people rushed in. I had to pull my bass out and put into the bus just came so it took me a while. Then I found out they are short of three seats and I, a young guy and a granma were left behind. Okay, for me and this poor young man, it was just our luck to be in pain for an hour longer, but, hey the kids who got on the bus, shouldn’t one of you give up a seat for the granma??
Of course nobody bloody cared and three of us waited for one more hour for the next bus. Oh what a night.

International String Trio in Gloucester, Massachusetts
いつも海岸と港の景色が最高のグロウスターに来ました。海岸線のホテルで、そこから直で桟橋が出ていたのですが、なんとその上で結婚式です。ほほう、なんかいつもと違う雰囲気の結婚式でございましたねぃ。
We came to Gloucester where almost impossible not to see great views. It was a wedding gig at the hotel right by the ocean. A floating pier was connected to the hotel with a wooden bridge and the wedding was held on there. That was a different set up. I liked it!

International String Trio @ Fruitlands Museum
ボストンから車で1時間離れたハーバードという町で結婚式のギグでございます。これまた天気もよく、素晴らしく景色のいい所でございました。
We had a wedding gig in Harvard, Massachusetts which is about one hour away from Boston by car. The weather was great and the landscape was just outstanding.
