Summer Series- “New Haunts”- The Cellar Jazz Club- Daniel Reynolds Trio

 3611 West Broadway, Kitsilano- Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Jazz confuses me.  But I find it enthralling.
The way it hooks you with a groovy sound, gets you moving with the rat-a-tat beats, and fools you into thinking you understand where it’s going.  Then, like the smoothest of opiates, it swims through your blood and before you know it you find yourself in the middle of a crazy trip. 

It guides you into a state of bewilderment that is so controlled you are tricked into thinking you’re still lucid.  Then, suddenly everything think you thought you understood changes and swerves and just when you find yourself totally lost and on the brink of what seems like having lost all musical intelligence… it all comes together and takes you back home.

Enthralling. And confusing.
Much like the club itself.
