My co-worker of 11 years, Carolina, has a partner, Carlos Childe, who is a
professional jazz musician. He is passionate about traditional New Orleans
jazz, and he and Carolina have made several trips to New Orleans, interviewing
some of the greats for Carlos’s Youtube channel. One of those greats is Will
Smith <https://www.preservationhall.com/people/will-smith/>, member of the
Preservation Hall. Right now, Will Smith is in Spain, touring together with
Carlos. They have played all over the country, and on Friday they performed in
the municipality of San Juan de Alicante, a suburb next to the one in which I
live, in an outdoor venue just 3 km from my house. It was a free concert, part
of a jazz festival put on by the municipality. Of course I went, and I must say
that even though traditional N.O. jazz is not my favourite jazz genre, I
enjoyed it very much. Some of of my co-workers also went—Carolina has many
friends in the office—and all had a good time. I took pictures, obviously, here
are 37 of them:

You may notice there were quite a few senior citizens in the audience. The
explanation is very simple: next to the square where the concert was held there
is a nursing home, and many of the residents were in attendance, often
accompanied by their middle-aged children.
As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated. I think it is
fairly obvious who Will Smith is; Carlos is the guy with the curly hair and the
banjo.
Cheers,
Nathan
