Event, Jazz in the cabaret

Just this past Tuesday I attended an event in the area under the Student Union called the Cabaret. The band played jazz. Honestly I don't remember the name of the band, and the friend I went with won't pick up his phone right now. That aside, I promise the band exists, and that the event happened; I hope my word is good enough. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. All of the band members knew how to play their instruments well. One member I recall in particular was playing the uud. This is a Middle Eastern guitar like instrument with a half egg shaped body and a short neck.

There were no vocals, but the person who seemed to be the leader of the band was playing the flute. As a guitarist, I always enjoy seeing and hearing other people play the instrument. I could tell everyone on the stage was enjoying themselves. The pianist, who also played the accordion, added a great element to the sound coming from the stage. Seeing that kind of music being played makes me interested in picking up a new style of playing for myself. I've stopped practicing recently, and I can't wait to get back into the thick of the musical action.
