Valery Ponomarev is from Russia and he played with Art Blakey. He told us "that applause was like food for musicians" so the crowd applauded heartily. They were good in a traditional way and Valery was was a natural entertainer. The club pass is the best deal in town. You pop in on a band from another world that you have never heard of and check out a few songs. If you get restless you walk down the street to another act. - photo by P Doddy - click photo to advance > next
