Last night, we had the rare treat of going to an outstanding concert hosted by the US Pavilion at the World Expo   It was performed by Herbie Hancock, one of the World's most influential musicians and a great jazz pianist/composer. 

Being there was most exciting.  he performed with the Theloneous Monk Jazz Ensemble from Washington D.C. and the soloist was Jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater.  Although I never heard of her, but she stunned us all with her extraordinary voice which sounded like an instrument.  What a night!

After the concert we went back stage to say hello to Herbie.  He looks much younger than his age.  He is 70 years old, just had his birthday, but he looks at most 55 years old and good looking. His wife was not there, but Gigi is a good looking German lady.

Today he went early morning to Xian and then go back to the States. There is a certain contentment and happiness in him.  Besides music, I am sure it is becuase he is also a buddhist.  I shall see him at the Montreux Jazz Festival this summer.

Sharing some pictures with you.
