My Thoughts, My Views, My Writings

Gue seneng banget nget nget akhirnya bisa nonton live Bobby Caldwell @ java jazz 2008 kemarin.

In fact, cuma gara2 dia sih yg bikin gue "keluar sarang" buat nonton java jazz. Been his fans since gue SMP (ga tau dpt pengaruh dari mana kok anak SMP jaman dulu bisa demen jazz pdhl my whole family not even pernah nyetel jazz di rmh).

A genious in nasal sound, clear voice with blue eyes. Meaningful song lyrics, rich music instrument sound yet it's kept simple in harmony. Perfectionist, and also a little bit emotional.

Penampilannya sendiri malam itu, almost perfect. Suaranya bener2 persis seperti yang selama ini cuma bisa gue denger dari CD dan kaset. Dengan cengkok2nya yang sama persis. Why almost but not perfect, dia pernah keabisan napas sedikit (salah ambil napas sptnya), then terbatuk ketika jeda lyrics antar lagu. Yet, sisanya is great afterall.

I sat in the 1st row, persis di tengah panggung. Dan Nita yang duduk persis di sebelah gue, well....dia dapet bonusnya..Bobby even on bended knee on front of her! sukur lo ga pingsan Nit!! (*after all these years kita nunggu dia dateng, ga sia2 lo dandan cantik that night*).

But, karena bantuan sax player yg loco dan baik hati banget itu, gue dan nita dapet tanda tangan Bobby!! wooo hooo...

Andai gue tinggal di USA, mgkin bisa tiap bulan gue jabanin nonton private concert dan get to know him..

even, in my point of view, gue menangkap kesan dia itu sombong dan ga sabaran..but well, it's just my guess anyway.

And since his performance that night is good, I got nothing to complain even harga tiketnya mihil, but sure it is worth the price.
