new jazz club

Tonight I met up with Gaby and Vale in Patio Bellavista and we went to this new-ish jazz club (first time any of us had been there) called Perseguidor, across the street from Off the Record. Cover and prices were about the same as the Club de Jazz but the place was nicer and the band ROCKED. It was a quartet: drums, piano, stand-up bass and trumpet, and the trumpeter was very good. He'd studied at Berklee and the Manhattan School of Music or whatever it's called and really know how to play. The drummer we'd seen before, at the other Bellavista jazz club, Thelonious, which we didn't like as much. Good to know about the new place, it's a hell of a lot easier to get to than Club de Jazz, which is still worth going to when it has really cool shows like Valentín and Pedro Amat Trujillo. Anyhow now I'm tired as hell and going to bed. Also, Bill Evans Trio kicks ass.
