Bob McChesney Quintet at Charlie O’s

Bob McChesney at Charlie O’sWe haven’t been writing for a while now…. time for the weekly updates. Last Tuesday we went to see Bob McChesney Quintet play. Interesting evening, we had been waiting a month to really get to see Bob play. Last time he only got some minor exposure with the Menza band but this time featured with his own quintet. They started playing without the piano player who apparently had some delays. After the band had played one tune without piano, I had already been pushing Mattias to go offer his piano playing skills to the band. So… he went up there and asked. Of course the band got excited and welcomed him up! So, Mattias sat down and started reading the music, playing with Bob himself! It was so much fun sitting there watching the whole thing. Mattias still grunts about not being in shape with his technique, but GOD did he play well! He rocked the house and the band was really glad to have him up there. After that song, the original piano player showed up, which I must say was too bad. Mattias looked great up there! :-) Look at the picture, he is down to the left! And Bob on trombone. by the way, Bob played fantastic. Such an agile trombone player, a true pleasure to listen to. Bob McChesney at Charlie O’s with Mattias on piano
