Me sitting in with a Pagode band at the Brazilian hotspot Club Urbana once again in Nagoya.

And of course no jam session would be complete without Meia.
All of us waiting for the bullet train to go to Tokyo.
Meia and me at the train station.
A view of the inside of the bullet train. They travel at over 200 mph and are the smoothest ride you will ever have.
Another bullet train, aren't these things awesome?
Backstage at the Tokyo Blue Note. Legendary drummers Robby Ameen and Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez were in town and stopped by to check out one of our shows. Talk about pressure!
The food at the Tokyo Blue Note was just incredible.
The crew at the Tokyo Blue Note.
Not sure what this is but I just thought it looked cool.
The electronic district of Tokyo, Akihabara.
These watercoolers were just so neat looking.

Yes that says harf and harf, can you guess what it was supposed to say? Hehe.

People drink from this as a form of offering and prayer.
This was taken at a club called Grammy in Fukuoka. This is a family affair where they all play great music, run the club, then on the breaks they tend to the customers serving drinks and snacks. If you are ever there look it up, these are nicest folks you will ever meet.
The owners of Grammy with myself, Kleber and Meia.
A group shot of the whole gang with some customers thrown in.
Backstage with Dawn, Gracinha, Sergio and Jessica.
