Cafe Kotti again

I was painting this watercolor on Kottbuser Tor when a heavy rain made run and seek for shelter.

Cafe Kotti is very close from this spot, I had just to go up through the stairs. The place is on the second floor. I waited until the watercolor dried and started painting the people around.

You got the feeling you are in somebodys living room.

And the JazzFest had to end. But with great highlights. Maybe it was the day I like it most, but that is because I love funk music. Unforgetable was Nils Landgren playing the trombone with Big Sam`s Funky Nation

Parts of the event were trasmited live through Deutschland Radio Kultur. Here Nils Landgren (Künstlicher Leiter) and Joachim Sartorius (Intendant der Berliner Festspiele) are being interviewed live by Lothar Jänichen and Matthias Wegner

JazzFest - Friday

Friday November 04

Haus Berliner Festspiele

Photoshooting by Soundcheck. It is easier to draw here. You can get closer to the musicians , but i miss the emotions that music can trasmit in a drawing.
