Tom Ehrlich - Melon at Piedmont Piano
IVÁN "MELÓN" LEWIS
PIEDMONT PIANO, OAKLAND, CA
NOVEMBER 8, 2010
Melón was in the area for a concert with Spanish diva Concha Buika and conducted a clinic/master class and mini concert at Piedmont Piano in Oakland, CA. Kevin Moore was on hand to formally introduce his series of Beyond Salsa Piano books. It was an interesting and exciting evening. Here's a video link of the song Movimiento. What follows are photos of the event.
