Two little details

José James was presenting some of his new tunes at the Jazz Cafe last night. Man, this guy is talented.

Two little details I picked up.
When José starts scating, eyes closed, he always put his fingers on the pistons of an imaginary trumpet and plays along his improv.
For his last song, he stood still and silent for a few minutes. It was a little awkward. And the crowd was just as restless when he broke his silence than when he took his stand. But I tell you what: the power of that first verse was magnified and rang beyond the microphone.
