SFJAZZ had an open house today and we were allowed backstage to see what it's like. One of the walls is lined with signed drum heads from those who played there
This is unbelievable! This high quality footage was just posted by Jack Bruce’s Twitter account of the Tony Williams Lifetime w/Jack Bruce, John McLaughlin and Larry Young.
I never expected to see anything like this.
Enjoy!
I wish Berne would come out to SF more often. He probably hasn't been here for at least 5 years. I asked him about that a while back and I think he has trouble finding venues for his brand of jazz.
Big Zorn Fest in town this weekend. I'm going to 2 shows: Cobra and Electric Masada.
Saw him do Cobra at Big Ears this year - totally outrageous! Looking forward to this one, for SURE.
I saw them in 72 opening for Poco, but I don't remember anything about it now.
Saw LaFlamme about 5 years later with an IABD-like band and I remember they were pretty good.
What?? I would have LOVED to see that!
Been a BIG Billy fan since I first saw him with Max in the late 70s. Probably seen him more than any other jazz musician - with his own groups, Randy Weston, and the Cookers.
