BlackGirl Experiences Karel Gott

Karel Gott.He's a Czech singer.Famous in the Czech Republic, but stratospheric in Germany. Or so I've been told.Telling me that someone is stratospheric in Germany gives me pause about how talented he or she is. After all, Germany is a country where people are nuts about David Hasselhoff. Basically

Esperanzaaaaa in Prahaaaaa

Caught the Esperanza Spalding concert last night at Hudebni Divadlo Karlin.A phenomenal show.I appreciate the genre, but I'm hardly a Jazz follower.
