Universes here...

Live at the nation's capital Washington D.C......Baby, Baby, Baby, we are in the house. 

OK time to be serious. This is the beginning of our Jazz at Lincoln Center Rhythm Road Tour. 

We are here on "official business", as cultural Ambassadors. We are here to meet with government officials about our African/European tour. We leave in a couple of days to Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey,Kenya and London ( in that order).

The meeting was very interesting to say the least. The representative of each country described their region. The most intriguing was the person who was there to talk about Kenya. Her approach to it all was very positive and we felt that if we didn't know anything about the political upheaval that was shaking things up over there, she wouldn't have said it. 

So we asked as many questions as we could ? 

After our meeting we went over to the National Geographic Society. An amazing experience, picture this, all these years, we know Africa through National Geographic magazines and videos, and here we are, performing live at the spot because we are about to "ambassadate" :) to Africa. Is that a word? Is that a word? Yes it is. At least in the Universes dictionary. M.m.m. 

To our surprise, the exhibit of a huge dinosaur at the entrance greeted us with a smile. 

The dinosaurs name was Nigersaurus. 

Ain't that some sh.. Yes, that is his name, and he was there to welcome us. So after all the jokes, you have to check back with us a little later to read about "The Legend of Nigersaurus". 

Anyway, our showcase was a double bill with The Kelly Johnson Quartet. An amazing Jazz Quartet. The turnout was good, we tore down the house and we were definitely inspired by our brother Nigersaurus.

Ninja got a chance to sit in the National Geopgraphic oard room, head of the table, I might add.  But no one was listening.

Pics: Here we included pics of our dear Nigersaurus.  

Alexis and Monauk from Jazz, were rollin with us in DC. 

Til the next.
