    Good looks Justin, I think I'm going to try to go to this. Has anyone on the board seen him play recently?

    saw this when they were in sweden. it was good, not great! its more like either orchestra doing a few covers of mulatu tunes, and having mulatu on vibes. but they mostly play their own tunes, too few mulatu ones.

    worst was probably the drummer.. jazz drums over mulatu =

    Nope, wasn't feeling up for it and I couldn't find anyone to go with anyway.

    This is OTM. The show was good in certain parts, others not so much. Also, as I was interviewing a couple people as they were coming out, there was a drive by that blew out the box office. Shit was crazy. I later interviewed the security guards about this and they called it a "friendly drive by"!
