Just got back from the 10 pm show (Thursday). Happy to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. Can't say that I was totally devastated, but the magic's still there. This isn't quite the rip-roaring A-Bomb of days past, but there's a definite sense of craftmanship to the group. Strong compositions, phenomenal arrangements, beautiful playing. Highlights (for me) included a wonderfully constructed tuba solo (Joe Daley), some fine tenor passages, and Curtis Fowlkes going apeshit. Hell, the whole band was beautiful (I just happened to be sitting in front of the horns). Too late to write coherently, but just enough to telegraph the love.

See this band. I'd heard that the turnout wasn't too good (it was fine tonight)... this band deserves better.

Edit--Venue! They're playing at Yoshi's. In Oakland.
