    Speaking of which, Avi is playing tomorrow night at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie in New York. Unfortunately, the concert is currently sold out. The woman at the ticket office told me that sometimes there are last minute cancellations, so I will probably check and see what happens.

    Sad to say, he who hesitates... I called the other day and the NY concert is sold out. They said to call again for cancellations but not yet and it is too late for me to go. If anyone is in New York City and happens to be near Carnegie right before the shoe it might be possible to get extremely last minute tickets, but no guarantee.

    I was looking fwd to hearing one of those Kerman mandolins.

    For those of us who can't be there, there is this enjoyable video of Avi:

    Not sure if anyone is aware but, you can download Spotify and type the artist, then it shows all available artist CDs, click and enjoy! There are a few ads to deal with but at least you can get a full listen before you buy. Whats better, you can save it in your play list, you can listen to the radio which also provides indy music that matches your liking. Its pretty cool for free. Can't hurt to try and maybe get exposed to new music. Get inspired!

    I was able to listen to the entire CD on Spotify and it is very creative for sure. Sort of classified as world music in my mind. It makes sense because I think his goal is to show versatility in the mandolin and offer more credibility than the instrument is getting. There are many talented artists now fighting this good fight. I like his passion.
    Amateurs practice until they can play it right.
    Professionals practice until they can't play it wrong.

    I have bought the album and really, really like it. I'm not competent to provide a more detailed critique, but this recording straddles classical and folk music with stunning virtuosity and an audible soul that does justice to both genres. Very tasteful, interesting, and a thing of beauty. Do give it a listen.
