606 Lounge, Chelsea

Went to 606 Lounge on Tuesday night, to check out one of the guys who started the Notting Hill Carnival a few decades ago. I think the idea is that if you play at 606, you're a cool cat. And those at 606 that night, were indeed (cool cats, that is).

The pianist got on his stool, clinked the II-V of the II-V-I, and you just know it's going to be a good set.

When the drummer was doing his drum solo, the pianist (he's 75 years old) got up, put his hands in his pockets, and started moving to the beats. Cool huh. Then, he picked up a bottle of wine... Then he removed a hand from his pocket... and started striking the bottle with a coin. Prob a 20p. Tik. Tik Tik. Tik. Tik Tik.

Top class.
