Met 2024-07-14 17:00 at Magnolia Hotel: Julián Álvarez 1746, Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Abigail and I talked music: harmony, chords, being a band in Buenos Aires, piano, rhythm, etc.

Unfortunately my voice recorder lost the recording of our conversation, so I don't remember the details.

She said her favorite solo was Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo a la Turk - from the recording “At Carnegie Hall (1963)”, so we went to a quiet place in the hotel and listened closely to the 12-minute recording, and how he builds the piano from the 5-minute to 11-minute mark. It was wonderful. Here's the link:

As a bonus, check out how they keep that same high energy for their fast version of “Take Five” after that, at the same concert:
