So this is not a craft, but it fits into my description of "artsy"...
On November 7, Nathan and I went to see the famous jazz pianist, Allen Toussaint with special guests Nicholas Payton & the Joe Krown Trio feat: Joe Krown, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, & Russell Batiste. The whole first act (~1hr) featured only the "special guests", and I didn't think that they were that special. I was very close to asking Nathan if we could go home, but I am so glad we stuck around. During the second act they rolled out a grand piano, and Toussaint wowed the audience. He was very chatty which I always enjoy. I love to hear back stories about inspiration and context of the musician work. It also gives you a little insight to who the person really is. Toussaint is really interesting and his work is great. I can't believe that he has a catalog of over 600 songs!
Here is a sample of him playing Southern Nights
