Hi Charles,

Hey, this stuff is great, brought the feel of sunshine to a rainy day in 
England.
I've tried to right this style of music in the pass, It's very hard and I 
realise now listening to you guys, I'm a million miles away from the genuine 
sound.

Keep up the great work.
Steve W

  Subject: [ddots-l] Performance at the Kennedy Center


  Hi list:
  On May 4 of this year, I performed at the Kennedy Center with Orquesta La 
Leyenda, a Salsa Big Band.  The performance at the Millenium Stage was an hour 
long.  We play latin music from the Palladium era.  I think the sound quality 
is pretty good.  With regards to the mix, I would have liked the trumpets to be 
a little higher.  The conditions on the stage were a little challenging as it 
usually is for a 14 piece band.  I was playing a grand piano and there were 
some feedback issues so they could not raise the volume that much on the 
monitors.  So, I could not hear myself that much.  If you have time to hear the 
whole performance, you will notice at least a couple of pretty obbious 
mistakes.  It was a challenge to hear the horn section over the percussion 
section.  However, overall, I think it was a pretty good performance.
  The two singers and I are the newest members of the band.  We joined La 
Leyenda about 9 months ago.  My girlfriend, Laura Sosa, is the lead female 
singer.  I hope you enjoy it.  Below is the link.
