Maestro Michi Renoir returned to Cat's Art MusikCircus last night and Cat Boucher brought the visual image of the seaside while Maestro Michi brought the sound of it.
With a synthesizer / sampler, there is no sound a keyboard cannot make and Maestro Michi was playing the sound of crashing waves to start. He then went into an hour's improvisation on the theme. I've admired Michi Renoir's skill at improvisation many times before and that admiration only grows with each time I hear him play.
I've been suggesting in many things lately to write your own editorial and that goes as well for people's tendencies toward musical familiarity or, conversely, to avoid that which is unfamiliar or dangerous. Maestro Michi never avoids the latter so it's likely he will never draw the huge crowds but he knows that and it doesn't deter him at all. I've never heard him say anything negative about that so neither will I. As I say, you can write your own editorial.
It was a brilliant performance and that's a bit of a challenge for him as the expectation is that he will come back and be brilliant every week. Well, he's certainly managed to do that for quite a long series of weeks and his performance is always a treat. He accepts the challenge and he plays it.

Reis and Aldo returned last night as well after about a month in France recording. We weren't really positive they could perform as my understanding was they wouldn't be back until the 28th but Aldo had mentioned to Cat they could play last night's show. Sure enough, they did and it was lovely to see them.
In a show that varies from songs we know from them to ones we have never heard before as Reis and Aldo never shy away from anything dangerous either. Sometimes Aldo Brizzi plays his compositions as solo pieces while Reis listens and, for other songs, Reis' voice flies over them in a beautiful, sensual, sexual vision.
They too have the challenge before them to come back and be excellent each week and they too always manage it. I'm not really sure how long they have been together and making music but their musical styles mesh so beautifully that it's obviously something they have spent a considerable time crafting. The integration of Aldo's Italian style with Reis' Brazilian spirit makes for music only they can create and it's always an incredible journey.

The last couple of days had been enormous for me and I was dead tired but I finally had found WiFi fast enough to let me attend the shows and enjoy dancing with Cat.

Who knew mermaids could dance! At first I didn't think it was possible and didn't suggest it but Cat showed me mermaids are marvelous dancers and that's how we spent the show. Danke für ein wunderschönes Abend, meine Schmuseling!
