8pm
We're an hour from showtime. Earlier today, I visited Cedar Walton at his home in Brooklyn. I'll post the interview with the complete wrap-up of our time at the Vanguard tonight. Stay tuned.

8:03pm
Not a full house expected tonight. Could be that the recession is starting to put a dent in recreation budgets. Not a good sign for jazz.

8:06pm
Epoch Films is shooting a Heineken commercial in the Village Vanguard tomorrow. Keep an eye out for that in the near future. Real musicians will not be a part of the shoot. Just actors. They have reserved all parking spots on both sides of the club. As you might know, parking spaces in NYC are a premium, so the neighbors are none too thrilled about finding a spot for their cars.

8:19pm
Bassist David Williams is the first member of the trio to arrive tonight. More later.

8:47pm
Drummer Lewis Nash just arrived. He recently finished recording a studio date for Willie Nelson with Joe Sample, Christian McBride, and guitarist Anthony Wilson. Willie sings standards!

8:50pm
Still no leader...Cedar Walton, paging Cedar Walton???

8:51pm
Cedar must have heard the page. And he was looking for parking...

9:01pm
"Cedar's Blues" opens the show, and the trio is swinging mercilessly.

9:11pm
"Dear Ruth," an original composition dedicated to Cedar's mom. She was a piano teacher. She must have been a good one!

9:19pm
Lots of original compositions so far. This one is "Sixth Avenue." Funky.

9:30pm
This is "Back to the Holy Land," I think. Cedar is calling songs on the fly.

9:51pm
Sorry for the long break in action. We're listening to "Time After Time." This is such a great trio. Plenty of chemistry.

9:58pm
"Body and Soul" with a samba beat. I just heard a reference to "Mona Lisa" go by...

10:06pm
A little Christmas Music, anyone? With some blues for good measure.
