Had 2 GREAT nights at Motion Blue in Yokohama with Norihiko Hibino's Band. I'll have to say it was just a fantastic 2 nights of playing. The music and the "vibe" was so cool and creative and all of the musicians were very hip and easy to play with. But, I was completely blown away by the staff at the Motion Blue. In 25 years, I never been treated any better. It was such a treat to make music there. The staff tried so hard to make our time there so easy. The whole environment was set-up to help us to create music at our highest level. After spending 3 miserable years playing at the New York Bar (Park Hyatt Hotel, Shinjuku, Tokyo), it was such a shock to be treated like a human being. I just can't say enough good things about the people working at Motion Blue.
