Ok, this is going to be a short blog and for all of you who have been patiently waiting for an update from me for so many months, I know, I dropped the ball. I'll try to pick it up this coming semester.
So, last night, I went with my friends Devin, Carolyn and Stephanie to a Jazz Club in downtown Firenze. To put it mildly, it might have been one of the coolest things I've seen thus far in Firenze.
When we got there, which is not to say it took us a while to find a poorly lit door in the middle of an alley at night, we ended up being the only ones there for about half an hour. We had to go downstairs into this underground basement of sorts. The music made up for the sketchyness of it. There was a house band consisting of a pianist, bassist, and drummer. It was amazing and eventually when more people came, with them came more instruments. Saxaphones, guitars and others arrived and jammed out for the better part of 2 hours. About 12:30 we left to go catch the last bus home. Tired as we were, we felt refreshed after hearing such wonderful jazz. We will definitely be going back as a one time cover charge of 5 euro was a rather fair fee in our eyes.
