Three West Coast Jazz Videos

Last week, Bill Kirchner in New York and Danilo Morandi in Switzerland sent along a few superb videos. Bill sent along a link to the Dave Slonaker Big Band recording their Intrada album (Origin Records) at Capitol Studios' Studio A in Hollywood in 2016.

Here's Dave Slonaker's composition and arrangement of Remembering, featuring Wayne Bergeron, Dan Fornero, Rick Baptist, Clay Jenkins and Ron Stout (trumpets); Bob Sheppard, Brian Scanlon, Rob Lockart, Tom Luer and Adam Schroeder (woodwinds); Alex Iles, Bob McChesney, Charlie Morillas and Bill Reichenbach (trombones); Ed Czach (piano); Edwin Livingston (bass); and Peter Erskine (drums). Solos are by Alex Iles (tb) and Ron Stout (tp)....



Danilo sent along two videos of legendary vibraphonist Terry Gibbs in 2016 and 1017 (at 91 and 92). Here's Terry in '91 with John Campbell (p), Mike Gurrola (b) and Gerry Gibbs (d) jamming on Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea...
