Arlene's Band

An example of globalization at close to its best at the JZ Club in Shanghai last night. The band had a Japanese pianist, a white bassist from Cleveland, a black drummer from Brooklyn, a Jewish saxophonist (from America?), and a lead singer from the Philippines. But most importantly, they had an awesome sound! Each musician had wonderful "lines" (Nick told me this term) and they worked very well together. Coupled with Arlene's incredibly full and clean voice, it all made for fantastic show.
