After a transatlantic traversal and the linguistic collision befitting my enchilada-infused Midwest English against a thick, but remarkably playful, Southern German, I have finally settled into this lovely jewel that is Emmendingen, a short ride out of Freiburg. The cultural acclimation was dotted with moments of shear joy: Latin Street Jam for Tanz in den Mai (Dance into May) and Salsa in El Bolero restaurant, among others. Expect video footage very soon...Friede amigos, Justin

De Estados Unidos a Alemania...


The Music goes on! I´m off to Freiburg, Germany to join Dominik and others for the 2007 Freiburg Summer Music Festival. From there, we´ll play a few gigs around town and see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves in with the usual artillery: one drum set, Roland electric keyboard, and un poco de sabor latino!

On the home front, The West Lounge Jazz and Klezmer Fusion is taking a well-deserved summer sabbatical. Look for us again on campus this fall as we bring you elation in the Key of C.
