I went to a Jazz concert but I found the record of a video

Monday September 7, 2015, ten p.m., Festival of Viladecans, who will come to see a jazz concert in the gardens of Can Modolell in the Baix Llobregat city if the next day you have to go to work? Who will go to see two young talents such as pianist Marco Mezquida and trumpeter Felix Rossy (son of drummer and pianist Jorge Rossy) on a day like this at this schedule?

These questions may have crossed the minds of these two musicians and could have responded fanciful, "Well, if we have a scenario for us ... What about if we record a video, nobody will come and if someone does it will be because the show is free .... So call a couple of friends to record the whole show. "

And this is what happened. Everything, they record absolutely everything, all the concert of more than an hour of these two exceptional musicians, presenting his new album 'Elegía', have been surrounded by two other people who have record them at less than half a meter. If the photographer is said that although they are in a pit in the dark for one, two or even three songs bother ... What about two people who spend the entire concert on stage less than half a meter of musicians, stand up and do not have any care when it comes to stand between the musician and the audience and stay there planted, as if they were invisible!

Well, I will not imagine what’s going on through the head of this pair of talented but what I can tell, still sitting in the audience, it was absolutely impossible to see the concert, of great lyricism, and concentrate on their music, such as Rossy said, sometimes it was written and sometimes not, improvising at a high level.

Of these two young musicians is unnecessary to say they have a great musical future because they are already enjoying it -yesterday, September 9, 2015, Marco Mezquida received an award from veteran San Boí Altaveu Festival- but the impression I got was also they don’t have absolutely no respect for the public. One thing is that they had recorded a song, two, three ... But they even recorded a bis that initially they did not know what would be! There was no kind of truce and we were disappointed to not see the magic between this duo, I clarify, yes there was, but it was literally impossible to see it. Maybe we could see it in other occasion and I hope that the video comes out fine.
