We went to our first jam last night at a happening little spot in the Latin Quartier called “Caveaux des Oubliettes.” Vladimir had not been there for 10 years, and it was my first time. Wednesday night is “Soul Connexions,” showcasing modern R&B, classic soul and funk. Vladimir jammed some Marvin Gaye on bass, and I sang a somewhat obscure Stevie Wonder tune. We did not get to play together this time, unfortunately, but it was actually cool to stand outside and look at what we do individually (and get some good video).
We left just before 2am feeling uplifted enough to spontaneously rent a few bikes and do a little night tour of the city in the damp zero degrees (celsius) weather instead of dealing with the lame taxis. It would normally be a 6km ride home directly, but we took our time, made many detours, and got some nice shots. I did not think I would get to ride a bike over here, let alone during the winter. So that is one dream I can check off now!
Off to the studio now, where I can write and live inside my head for a few hours. =)
