Back from the Jazz festival

Good:
Habana Sax (learning how to meringue, saw cuban rap (gansta rap is so last century), they really know how to charm the ladies, and they are in KL);
Dirty Dozen Brass Band (give me soul funk standards anyday for a closing act, great crowd interaction, one mouth two horn-y);
Lluis Coloma (move, move, move)

Bad:
Sore feet from dancing during the closing acts;
No dirty dozen brass band CD in the merchandising section;
Crowd reaction to Son2Nos and Lluis Coloma;
Habana Sax not getting a chance to party up KL?;
The ladies' gimmick of Habana Sax falling a bit flat.

Ugly:
Is that a tear in my party pants?
Still don't know where to post all my photos?

how was the crowd's reaction to Son2Nos and Lluis Coloma? Explain!

Lukewarm to begin with.
They were jamming and tried to get the party started but the crowd wasn't going wild & crazy or even dancing, unlike the enthusiastic response given to Habana Sax and Dirty Dozen Brass Band, now that was the crowd getting to its feet.

Then again, maybe Son2nos might have to drum up the crowd somemore, and people might have to learn to appreciate Lluis Coloma's pianoplay.

lol. are you kidding?! everyone still remembered the performance they gave last year they were here. that's why they were back a second time this yr. just that everyone was shy cos no one started dancing yet.

which is the problem?
I heard about how wild they drove the party last year but it seems that Habana Sax and Dirty Dozen overshadowed them. (possibly because they know how to work this crowd better after seeing the response to Lluis Coloma)
