This past summer I had the opportunity to work with the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival and volunteered at many of the concerts, including the premier of “The Cape Cod Files” composed by Cuban jazz and classical master Paquito D’Rivera. After the concert the staff and musicians went out for a late dinner, including Paquito himself, who was on hand. It was one of those truly special evenings, with musicians sharing stories (including Paquito telling off-color jokes). I was buzzing when I finally got home and immediately picked up the guitar. An hour or so later most of this was done. It was refined over the next week or so, but 90% came that evening. So, thanks, Paquito, this one’s for you.
